Functional Connectivity between brain regions is known to be altered in Alzheimer's disease, and promises to be a biomarker for early diagnosis of the disease. While several approaches for functional connectivity obtain an un-directed…
The underlying anatomical structure is fundamental to the study of brain networks, but the role of brainstem from a structural perspective is not very well understood. We conduct a computational and graph-theoretical study of the human…
It is acknowledged that the most common cause of dementia worldwide is Alzheimer's disease (AD). This condition progresses in severity from mild to severe and interferes with people's everyday routines. Early diagnosis plays a critical role…
Mapping the connectivity of neurons in the brain (i.e., connectomics) is a challenging problem due to both the number of connections in even the smallest organisms and the nanometer resolution required to resolve them. Because of this,…
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common types of neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangles. Recently, deep learning approaches have shown promise in Alzheimer's disease…
Data-driven brain parcellations aim to provide a more accurate representation of an individual's functional connectivity, since they are able to capture individual variability that arises due to development or disease. This renders…
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, show characteristic degradation of structural brain networks. This degradation eventually leads to changes in the network dynamics and degradation of cognitive…

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…
Mild cognitive impairment(MCI) is a precursor of Alzheimer's disease(AD), and the detection of MCI is of great clinical significance. Analyzing the structural brain networks of patients is vital for the recognition of MCI. However, the…
In statistical connectomics, the quantitative study of brain networks, estimating the mean of a population of graphs based on a sample is a core problem. Often, this problem is especially difficult because the sample or cohort size is…
Mining human-brain networks to discover patterns that can be used to discriminate between healthy individuals and patients affected by some neurological disorder, is a fundamental task in neuroscience. Learning simple and interpretable…
Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) can identify subtle brain changes due to its high contrast for soft tissues and high spatial resolution. It has been widely used in diagnosing neurological brain diseases, such as Alzheimer…
