We found that the fluency performance for living, but not nonliving, things differentiated NCs from very early AD patients. Further, we showed that only mean cortical thickness of the mPRC predicted living thing fluency performance. These results are in line with the findings of Kivisaari et al. (2012) showing that only mPRC thickness significantly predicted picture naming performance for living relative to nonliving things. Fluency tasks with living thing categories may provide an early marker of incipient AD.
