Box plot for the between-group comparison in AD-related neuroimaging biomarkers. The y axis corresponds to the standardized residuals of GMV, ReHo, and FC values of ROI after adjustment for age, sex, and education years. For normally distributed data, group difference was tested by using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a post hoc Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons. For non-normally distributed data, group difference was tested by using Kruskal-Wallis test followed by a Dunn–Bonferroni test for post hoc comparisons. P< 0.05*, P< 0.01**, P< 0.001***. Abbreviations: HC, healthy controls; dACC, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; GMV, gray matter volume; ReHo, Regional Homogeneity; aITC, anterior part of inferior temporal cortex; pITC, posterior part of inferior temporal cortex; MFC, mid frontal cortex; SFC, superior frontal cortex; rsFC, resting-state functional connectivity; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; aMCI, amnestic mild cognitive impairment; CDR, Clinical Dementia Rating
