The aim of the protocol is to study the resting brain activation profile of 3 groups of persons, using a new fMRI procedure, so called fMRI-SAM. fMRI-SAM will be applied to 25 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, 25 patients suffering from amnesic-MCI (a clinical picture which may be a prodromal form of AD) and 60 healthy controls.A first analysis of the data will search differences of brain activation profile between the 3 groups. In a second step we will study the predictive value of fMRI-SAM to detect MCI patients who will later convert to Alzheimer's Disease.
