Brain structural networks are often represented as discrete adjacency matrices with elements summarizing the connectivity between pairs of regions of interest (ROIs). These ROIs are typically determined a-priori using a brain atlas. The…
Large-scale white matter pathways crisscrossing the cortex create a complex pattern of connectivity that underlies human cognitive function. Generative mechanisms for this architecture have been difficult to identify in part because little…
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.…
As the human brain develops, it increasingly supports coordinated control of neural activity. The mechanism by which white matter evolves to support this coordination is not well understood. We use a network representation of diffusion…
Structural connectomes are detailed graphs that map how different brain regions are physically connected, offering critical insight into aging, cognition, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, these connectomes are high-dimensional and…
We present a method to discover differences between populations with respect to the spatial coherence of their oriented white matter microstructure in arbitrarily shaped white matter regions. This method is applied to diffusion MRI scans of…
Brain areas' functional repertoires are shaped by their incoming and outgoing structural connections. In empirically measured networks, most connections are short, reflecting spatial and energetic constraints. Nonetheless, a small number of…
Early brain development is characterized by the formation of a highly organized structural connectome. The interconnected nature of this connectome underlies the brain's cognitive abilities and influences its response to diseases and…

The brain's structural connectome supports signal propagation between neuronal elements, shaping diverse coactivation patterns that can be captured as functional connectivity. While the link between structure and function remains an ongoing…
The connectome, a map of the structural and/or functional connections in the brain, provides a complex representation of the neurobiological phenotypes on which it supervenes. This information-rich data modality has the potential to…
In this work, we study the extent to which structural connectomes and topological derivative measures are unique to individual changes within human brains. To do so, we classify structural connectome pairs from two large longitudinal…
Mapping of human brain structural connectomes via diffusion MRI offers a unique opportunity to understand brain structural connectivity and relate it to various human traits, such as cognition. However, head displacement during image…
Large efforts are currently under way to systematically map functional connectivity between all pairs of millimeter-scale brain regions using big volumes of neuroimaging data. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can produce these…
In neuroscience, functional brain connectivity describes the connectivity between brain regions that share functional properties. Neuroscientists often characterize it by a time series of covariance matrices between functional measurements…
As more connectome data become available, the question of how to best analyse the structure of biological neural networks becomes increasingly pertinent. In brain networks, knowing that two areas are connected is often not sufficient, as…
The human brain's white matter (WM) structure is of immense interest to the scientific community. Diffusion MRI gives a powerful tool to describe the brain WM structure noninvasively. To potentially enable monitoring of age-related changes…
In this study, we explore the fundamental principles behind the architecture of the human brain's structural connectome, from the perspective of spectral analysis of Laplacian and adjacency matrices. Building on the idea that the brain…
The dynamic characteristics of functional network connectivity have been widely acknowledged and studied. Both shared and unique information has been shown to be present in the connectomes. However, very little has been known about whether…
Intrinsic brain activity is characterized by highly structured co-activations between different regions, whose origin is still under debate. In this paper, we address the question whether it is possible to unveil how the underlying…
