The human connectome at the level of fiber tracts between brain regions has been shown to differ in patients with brain disorders compared to healthy control groups. Nonetheless, there is a potentially large number of different network…
Integrating brain imaging data with clinical reports offers a valuable opportunity to leverage complementary multimodal information for more effective and timely diagnosis in practical clinical settings. This approach has gained significant…
Functional Connectivity (FC) matrices measure the regional interactions in the brain and have been widely used in neurological brain disease classification. However, a FC matrix is neither a natural image which contains shape and texture…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Growing evidence has shown that the brain connectivity network experiences alterations for such a complex disease.…
Brain networks are typically represented by adjacency matrices, where each node corresponds to a brain region. In traditional brain network analysis, nodes are assumed to be matched across individuals, but the methods used for node matching…
Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia leading to an irreversible neurodegenerative process. To date, subject revealed advanced brain structural alterations when the diagnosis is established. Therefore, an earlier diagnosis of this…
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…
Analysis and quantification of brain structural changes, using Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are increasingly used to define novel biomarkers of brain pathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Network-based models of the brain have…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related dementia. It remains a challenge to identify the individuals at risk of dementia for precise management. Brain MRI offers a noninvasive biomarker to detect brain aging. Previous…
Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease. The aim of this study is to infer structural changes in brain connectivity resulting from disease progression using cortical thickness measurements from a cohort of…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with local (e.g. brain tissue atrophy) and global brain changes (loss of cerebral connectivity), which can be detected by high-resolution structural magnetic resonance imaging. Conventionally, these…
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…
Alzheimer's Disease destroys brain cells causing people to lose their memory, mental functions and ability to continue daily activities. It is a severe neurological brain disorder which is not curable, but earlier detection of Alzheimer's…
The characterisation of the brain as a "connectome", in which the connections are represented by correlational values across timeseries and as summary measures derived from graph theory analyses, has been very popular in the last years.…

The brain structural connectome is generated by a collection of white matter fiber bundles constructed from diffusion weighted MRI (dMRI), acting as highways for neural activity. There has been abundant interest in studying how the…
The current state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) for Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis use different biomarker combinations to classify patients, but do not allow extracting knowledge about the interactions of biomarkers. However, to…
Human brain connectome studies aim at extracting and analyzing relevant features associated to pathologies of interest. Usually this consists in modeling the brain connectome as a graph and in using graph metrics as features. A fine brain…
We present a connectome-informed LLM framework that encodes dynamic fMRI connectivity as temporal sequences, applies robust normalization, and maps these data into a representation suitable for a frozen pre-trained LLM for clinical…
Neuropsychiatric disorders impact functional connectivity of the brain at the network level. The identification and statistical testing of disorder-related networks remains challenging. We propose novel methods to streamline the detection…
