IntroductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) affects the whole brain from the cellular level to the entire brain network structure. The causal relationship among brain regions concerning the different AD stages is not yet investigated. This study used Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) method to assess effective connectivity (EC) and investigate the changes that accompany AD progression.
