Note: CTR, controls; sMCI, stable mild cognitive impairment; lMCIc, late mild cognitive impairment converters; eMCIc, early mild cognitive impairment converters; AD, Alzheimer's disease; Lh, left hemisphere; Rh, right hemisphere; G, gyrus. Differences between controls and AD patients survived corrections for multiple comparisons with FDR, while the other differences between groups were significant at an uncorrected level (P < 0.05).
