Connections that differed between left and right hemispheres, for the different diagnostic groups. Results are computed from a random effects regression model (using zeroes for the left hemisphere and ones for the right hemisphere) comparing the weighted k-core measures between the left and right hemispheres in 28 controls, 57 eMCI, 11 lMCI and 15 AD subjects (not all connections are named in this paper due to space limits), as well network measures applied on the binarized k-core matrices. The p-values reported here are the FDR critical p-values.
