was additionally associated with both the ventral attention and limbic networks (p<0.05). Conclusions: Cortical thickness in the limbic network is associated with measures of memory on list-learning tasks of the RAVLTand ADAS-Cog. However, the LMS may be associated with a combination of ventral attention and limbic networks. Since the LMS tests episodic memory, it may recruit multiple brain networks, whereas the list-learning tasks of RAVLT and ADAS-Cog may more strongly engage the limbic network.
