amplitude all showed a decrease in the placebo group, whereas they increased in the PQ912 group, indicating an improved global functional connectivity in the latter. The AEC showed a significant effect (mean change: placebo1⁄4-0.0054 versus PQ9121⁄40.0044, t-test: p1⁄40.025, Cohen’s d1⁄40.45) and the TCR-amp showed a trend (mean change: placebo1⁄4-0.0012 versus PQ9121⁄40.0018, p1⁄40.065, d1⁄40.37). The effect measured by AEC remained significant when corrected for sex, country, ApoE, age and baseline value, and additionally for EEG measures of oscillatory activity (global relative power measures in 5 frequency bands; both ANCOVA models p<0.05). There was no correlation between global relative theta power and AEC (r1⁄40.12, p1⁄40.22). Conclusions: Functional connectivity, measured with AEC, significantly improved with PQ912 treatment compared to placebo. This effect sustained when corrected for demographic variables, baseline value and EEG relative power measures.
