Figure 4. Relationship between brain metabolism and memory in MCI and AD.
Visualization of super-threshold local maxima in selected coronal, sagittal and axial slices for the areas that show significant difference between people with AD and MCI in the slope of the association between metabolism and cognitive outcome measures (executive function: top row, memory: bottom row). Areas where MCIs display a larger slope than ADs are marked in red, areas where ADs display a larger slope than MCIs are marked in blue. The p-level was obtained from a permutation test with 1,000 iterations and thresholded at p(unc)<0.01.
