The Disrupted in Schizophrenia Gene 1 (DISC1) plays a role in both neural signalling and development and is associated with schizophrenia, although its links to altered brain structure and function in this disorder are not fully…
While it is still not possible to describe the neural-level connections of the human brain, we can map the human connectome with several hundred vertices, by the application of diffusion-MRI based techniques. In these graphs, the nodes…
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral problem affecting children. In this work, we investigate the automatic classification of ADHD subjects using the resting state Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)…
Background: Previous functional connectivity studies have found both hypo- and hyper-connectivity in brains of individuals having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we studied abnormalities in functional brain subnetworks in…
Electrocorticography (ECoG) provides direct measurements of synchronized postsynaptic potentials at the exposed cortical surface. Patterns of signal covariance across ECoG sensors have been associated with diverse cognitive functions and…
To uncover the underlying mechanisms of mental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for improving both early diagnosis and therapy, it is increasingly recognized that we need a better understanding of how the…
Emerging evidence shows that cognitive deficits in Alzheimer disease (AD) are associated with disruptions in brain functional connectivity. Thus, the identification of alterations in AD functional networks has become a topic of increasing…
In this paper we utilized the concept of stable phase synchronization topography - synchrostates - over the scalp derived from EEG recording for formulating brain connectivity network in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and typically-growing…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data have become increasingly available and are useful for describing functional connectivity (FC), the relatedness of neuronal activity in regions of the brain. This FC of the brain provides…
Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in functional neuroimaging techniques have improved in brain disorders, dysfunction studies via mapping the topology of the brain connections, i.e. connectopic mapping. Since, there are the slight…
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…
Since gyri and sulci, two basic anatomical building blocks of cortical folding patterns, were suggested to bear different functional roles, a precise mapping from brain function to gyro-sulcal patterns can provide profound insights into…
Recently, there has been a growing interest in monitoring brain activity for individual recognition system. So far these works are mainly focussing on single channel data or fragment data collected by some advanced brain monitoring…
When the human brain manifests the birth of organised communication among local and large-scale neuronal populations activity remains undescribed. We report, in resting-state EEG source-estimates of 100 infants at term age, the existence of…
In the last decade, network science has shed new light both on the structural (anatomical) and on the functional (correlations in the activity) connectivity among the different areas of the human brain. The analysis of brain networks has…
This article describes the application of recently introduced complex networks concepts and methods to the characterization and analysis of cortical bone structure. Three-dimensional reconstructions of the system of channels underlying bone…
Although the language-related fiber pathways in the human brain, such as superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) and arcuate fasciculus (AF), are already well-known, understanding more sophisticated cortical regions connected by the fiber…
The hypothalamus plays an important role in the regulation of the bodys metabolic state and behaviors related to survival. Despite its importance however, many questions exist regarding the intrinsic and extrinsic connections of the…
Brain development during adolescence is marked by substantial changes in brain structure and function, leading to a stable network topology in adulthood. However, most prior work has examined the data through the lens of brain areas…
Today the human brain can be modeled as a graph where nodes represent different regions and links stand for statistical interactions between their activities as recorded by different neuroimaging techniques. Empirical studies have lead to…
