Findings obtained in previous studies on DMN in resting state fMRI in the comparison between patients groups (DLB, PD, and PSP) and healthy control group

Groups Authors Results Extra DMN regions Method
DLB Franciotti et al135 Increased activity in PCC compared with AD No ICA
Galvin et al136 Increased FC between PCC, DAN, and putamen. Decreased FC between PCC, DMN regions, and visual cortices Yes Seed
Kenny et al137 Increased FC between the right PCC and other brain areas Yes Seed
PD Gorges et al142 Increased FC between bilateral hippocampus. Decreased FC between MPFC and PCC No Seed
Krajcovicova et al141 Increased FC between PCC and DMN areas No ICA
Franciotti et al103 Increased FC in PD with visual hallucinations and reduced PD without visual hallucinations No ICA
Yao et al139 Increased FC between DMN areas in PD with visual hallucination and decreased FC in PD without hallucinations Yes ICA
Baggio et al143 Increased FC between DMN and lateral occipitoparietal regions Yes ICA
Rektorova et al144 Increased FC in DAN Yes ICA
Shine et al140 Increased FC between DMN and primary visual system Yes ICA
Tessitore et al133 Decreased FC of the right MTL and bilateral IPL No ICA
Seibert et al206 Decreased FC in bilateral prefrontal regions No Seed
Olde Dubbelink et al207 Decreased FC between multiple brain regions, especially in posterior parts of the brain Yes ICA
Szewczyk-Krolikowski et al134 Decreased FC in the BGN Yes ICA
PSP Whitwell et al159 Decreased FC in premotor cortex, PFC, temporal lobe, thalamus, and striatum Yes ICA
MSA Franciotti et al103 Decreased FC in superior and medial frontal areas No ICA

Note: The use of the seed-based analysis or the data-driven ICA (method) and the inclusion, in analysis, of regions not considered as part of DMN (extra DMN) are also indicated.
