From the detection of functional brain changes that occur during Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a research team from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) has located a set of biomarkers that could predict which patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have a higher risk of developing dementia.

“In this work we find that two subnets, in theta and beta frequency bands, which involve fronto-temporal and fronto-occipital regions, are altered during the evolution of Alzheimer’s disease,” says Eugenia López García, researcher from the Cognitive Neuroscience group of the UCM and one of the authors of the study.
