An essential step toward understanding neural circuits is linking their structure and their dynamics. In general, this relationship can be almost arbitrarily complex. Recent theoretical work has, however, begun to identify some broad…
The white matter of the brain is organised into axonal bundles that support long-range neural communication. Although diffusion MRI (dMRI) enables detailed mapping of these pathways through tractography, how white matter pathways directly…
Working memory (WM) allows information to be stored and manipulated over short time scales. Performance on WM tasks is thought to be supported by the frontoparietal system (FPS), the default mode system (DMS), and interactions between them.…
We introduce a method that takes advantage of high-quality pretrained multimodal representations to explore fine-grained semantic networks in the human brain. Previous studies have documented evidence of functional localization in the…
Imaging studies suggest that the functional connectivity patterns of resting state networks (RS-networks) reflect underlying structural connectivity (SC). If the connectome constrains how brain areas are functionally connected, the…
Self-organization through adaptive rewiring of random neural networks generates brain-like topologies comprising modular small-world structures with rich club effects, merely as the product of optimizing the network topology. In the nervous…
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…
To understand the biological characteristics of neurological disorders with functional connectivity (FC), recent studies have widely utilized deep learning-based models to identify the disease and conducted post-hoc analyses via explainable…
Modular structure is ubiquitous among real-world networks from related proteins to social groups. Here we analyze the modular organization of brain networks at a large-scale (voxel level) extracted from functional magnetic resonance imaging…

An increasingly important brain function analysis modality is functional connectivity analysis which regards connections as statistical codependency between the signals of different brain regions. Graph-based analysis of brain connectivity…
Understanding how few distributed areas can steer large-scale brain activity is a fundamental question that has practical implications, which range from inducing specific patterns of behavior to counteracting disease. Recent endeavors based…
Predicting how the brain can be driven to specific states by means of internal or external control requires a fundamental understanding of the relationship between neural connectivity and activity. Network control theory is a powerful tool…
The brain is in a state of perpetual reverberant neural activity, even in the absence of specific tasks or stimuli. Shedding light on the origin and functional significance of such a dynamical state is essential to understanding how the…
Neuroimaging-based prediction methods for intelligence and cognitive abilities have seen a rapid development in literature. Among different neuroimaging modalities, prediction based on functional connectivity (FC) has shown great promise.…
The cerebellum is implicated in nearly every domain of human cognition, yet our understanding of how this subcortical structure contributes to cognition remains elusive. Efforts on this front have tended to fall into one of two camps. On…
Early sensory deprivation such as blindness or deafness shapes brain development in multiple ways. While it is established that deprived brain areas start to be engaged in the processing of stimuli from the remaining modalities and in…
Objective While Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) show some common memory deficits, these two disorders show partially overlapping complex spatiotemporal patterns of neural dynamics. The objective of this study is…
This paper studies subtypes of restricted, repetitive and stereotypical behaviors (RRBs) in adolescent males with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from the viewpoint of the dynamics of brain functional connectivities (FCs). Data from the…
Functional connectivity (FC) derived from resting-state fMRI is widely used to characterize large-scale brain network alterations in neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, FC construction critically depends on the choice of brain…
