Independent components (networks) that were significantly correlated with the deactivation period (DTBRP = deactivation-task brain related pattern).

<p>Networks are separated for each condition (pre-post TMS) and group (ε4 carriers-noncarriers). DTRP = Dectivation Task Related Patterns. Coordinates are given in MNI space. Intensity values are thresholded at z = 2.3. Brain areas of each network are fully described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0051833#pone-0051833-t004" target="_blank">table 4</a>.</p

Demographic and global cognitive characteristics of the participants.

<p>Note: Values are given in mean (SD). MMSE^a, mini-mental state examination. (M/W) M, male; W, women. WAIS: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. RAVLT: Rey-Auditory Verbal Learning test (delayed recall). VR-WMS-R: Visual Reproduction, Wechsler Memory Scale Revised (delayed recall). t = Student's test. U = U-Mann Whitney test.</p

Effects of rTMS in the DMN present in deactivation task-related networks.

<p>While both groups exhibited increased temporal correlations between the timecourse of this network and rest condition after rTMS, its activity (intensity of the expression) clearly diverged. In the bar graphs it is shown that DMN activity decreased for ε4 non-carriers whereas increased for the ε4-carriers. Corr: Correlation values (r-Pearson) between the timecourse of each network and the ‘resting condition’. Intensity values are thresholded at z = 2.3. Coordinates are given in MNI (x = −4, z = 26). A.U = arbitrary units.</p
