The human brain is the most complex object of study we encounter today. Mapping the neuronal-level connections between the more than 80 billion neurons in the brain is a hopeless task for science. By the recent advancement of magnetic…
Scientists construct connectomes, comprehensive descriptions of neuronal connections across a brain, in order to better understand and model brain function. Interactive visualizations of these pathways would enable exploratory analysis of…
The structural connectome is often represented by fiber bundles generated from various types of tractography. We propose a method of analyzing connectomes by representing them as a Riemannian metric, thereby viewing them as points in an…
Cognition is supported by neurophysiological processes that occur both in local anatomical neighborhoods and in distributed large-scale circuits. Recent evidence from network control theory suggests that white matter pathways linking…
Tractography from high-dimensional diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) data allows brain's structural connectivity analysis. Recent dMRI studies aim to compare connectivity patterns across subject groups and disease populations to…
Divergent brain connectivity is thought to underlie the behavioral and cognitive symptoms observed in many neurodevelopmental disorders. Quantifying divergence from neurotypical connectivity patterns offers a promising pathway to inform…
Multimodal neuroimaging modeling has becomes a widely used approach but confronts considerable challenges due to heterogeneity, which encompasses variability in data types, scales, and formats across modalities. This variability…
We present a geometric framework for aligning white matter fiber tracts. By registering fiber tracts between brains, one expects to see overlap of anatomical structures that often provide meaningful comparisons across subjects. However, the…
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…
Mapping the brain imaging data to networks, where each node represents a specific area of the brain, has enabled an objective graph-theoretic analysis of human connectome. However, the latent structure on higher-order connections remains…
MRI-based modeling of brain networks has been widely used to understand functional and structural interactions and connections among brain regions, and factors that affect them, such as brain development and disease. Graph mining on brain…
Human cognition is supported by brain structural connectivity wherein weak connectivity with weights several orders of magnitude smaller than those of strong connectivity, has been treated as noise and ignored from analysis over a long…
In this article, we study association between the structural connectome and cognitive profiles using a multi-response nonparametric regression model.The cognitive profiles are measured in terms of seven age-adjusted cognitive test scores.…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is an imaging technique widely used to study human brain activity. fMRI signals in areas across the brain transiently synchronise and desynchronise their activity in a highly structured manner,…
Understanding how cortex, subcortex and cerebellum integrate is a major challenge for neuroscience, however, studies of the brain's structural connectivity have mostly focused on cortico-cortical links. Here, we used diffusion imaging to…
The connectomes of different human brains are pairwise distinct: we cannot talk about an abstract "graph of the brain". Two typical connectomes, however, have quite a few common graph edges that may describe the same connections between the…
This manuscript presents a novel, tightly integrated pipeline for estimating a connectome, which is a comprehensive description of the neural circuits in the brain. The pipeline utilizes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to produce a…
Principles of network topology have been widely studied in the human connectome. Of particular interest is the modularity of the human brain, where the connectome is divided into subnetworks and subsequently changes with development, aging…
Anatomy of the human brain constrains the formation of large-scale functional networks. Here, given measured brain activity in gray matter, we interpolate these functional signals into the white matter on a structurally-informed…
Signal propagation along the structural connectome of the brain induces changes in the patterns of activity. These activity patterns define global brain states and contain information in accordance with their expected probability of…
