Brain networks from functional MRI have advanced our understanding of cortical activity and its disruption in neurodegenerative disorders. Recent work has increasingly focused on dynamic (time-varying) brain networks that capture both…
Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal dementia are common forms of neurodegenerative dementia. Behavioral alterations and cognitive impairments are found in the clinical courses of both diseases and their differential diagnosis is…
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), the progressive atrophy leads to aberrant network reconfigurations both at structural and functional levels. In such network reorganization, the core and peripheral nodes appear to be crucial for the prediction…
Current neuroimaging studies on neurodegenerative diseases and psychological risk factors have been developed predominantly in non Hispanic White cohorts, with other populations markedly underrepresented. In this work, we construct directed…
Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal dementia are two major types of dementia. Their accurate diagnosis and differentiation is crucial for determining specific intervention and treatment. However, differential diagnosis of these two types…
Using multimodal neuroimaging data to characterize brain network is currently an advanced technique for Alzheimer's disease(AD) Analysis. Over recent years the neuroimaging community has made tremendous progress in the study of…
There is growing interest in understanding how the structural interconnections among brain regions change with the occurrence of neurological diseases. Diffusion weighted MRI imaging has allowed researchers to non-invasively estimate a…
Fusing structural-functional images of the brain has shown great potential to analyze the deterioration of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is a big challenge to effectively fuse the correlated and complementary information from…
Frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease are two common forms of dementia and are easily misdiagnosed as each other due to their similar pattern of clinical symptoms. Differentiating between the two dementia types is crucial for…
Spontaneous brain activity generically displays transient spatiotemporal coherent structures, which can selectively be affected in various neurological and psychiatric pathologies. Here we model the full brain's electroencephalographic…
Functional connectivity, as estimated using resting state fMRI, has shown potential in bridging the gap between pathophysiology and cognition. However, clinical use of functional connectivity biomarkers is impeded by unreliable estimates of…
Brain-related diseases are more sensitive than other diseases due to several factors, including the complexity of surgical procedures, high costs, and other challenges. Alzheimer's disease is a common brain disorder that causes memory loss…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by complex and largely unknown progression dynamics affecting the brain's morphology. Although the disease evolution spans decades, to date we cannot rely on long-term data to model the pathological…
Deep learning has been successful in predicting neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Combining multiple imaging modalities, such as T1-weighted (T1) and diffusion-weighted imaging…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common first symptom before the conversion to clinical impairment where the individual becomes unable to perform activities…
Pre-symptomatic (or Preclinical) Alzheimer's Disease is defined by biomarker evidence of fibrillar amyloid beta pathology in the absence of clinical symptoms. Clinical trials in this early phase of disease are challenging due to the slow…
We study possible relations between the structure of the connectome, white matter connecting different regions of brain, and Alzheimer disease. Regression models in covariates including age, gender and disease status for the extent of white…
To understand multifactorial conditions such as Alzheimers disease (AD) we need brain signatures that predict the impact of multiple pathologies and their interactions. To help uncover the relationships between brain circuits and cognitive…
The application of machine learning algorithms to the diagnosis and analysis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from multimodal neuroimaging data is a current research hotspot. It remains a formidable challenge to learn brain region information…
Purpose: This study investigates whether a machine-learning-based system can predict the rate of cognitive decline in mildly cognitively impaired patients by processing only the clinical and imaging data collected at the initial visit.…
