Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease. The aim of this study is to infer structural changes in brain connectivity resulting from disease progression using cortical thickness measurements from a cohort of…
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…
Small-world structures are often used to describe structural connections in the brain. In this work, we compare the structural connection of cortical areas of a healthy brain and a brain affected by Alzheimer's disease with artificial…
Spontaneous brain activity generically displays transient spatiotemporal coherent structures, which can selectively be affected in various neurological and psychiatric pathologies. Here we model the full brain's electroencephalographic…
Analysis and quantification of brain structural changes, using Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are increasingly used to define novel biomarkers of brain pathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Network-based models of the brain have…
Understanding the relation between cortical neuronal network structure and neuronal activity is a fundamental unresolved question in neuroscience, with implications to our understanding of the mechanism by which neuronal networks evolve…
Complex functional brain network analyses have exploded over the last eight years, gaining traction due to their profound clinical implications. The application of network science (an interdisciplinary offshoot of graph theory) has…
Technological advancements in noninvasive imaging facilitate the construction of whole brain interconnected networks, known as brain connectivity. Existing approaches to analyze brain connectivity frequently disaggregate the entire network…
Functional connections in the brain are frequently represented by weighted networks, with nodes representing locations in the brain, and edges representing the strength of connectivity between these locations. One challenge in analyzing…
Connectomics and network neuroscience offer quantitative scientific frameworks for modeling and analyzing networks of structurally and functionally interacting neurons, neuronal populations, and macroscopic brain areas. This shift in…
General results from statistical learning theory suggest to understand not only brain computations, but also brain plasticity as probabilistic inference. But a model for that has been missing. We propose that inherently stochastic features…
In increasingly many settings, data sets consist of multiple samples from a population of networks, with vertices aligned across these networks. For example, brain connectivity networks in neuroscience consist of measures of interaction…
Recent advances in experimental neuroscience allow, for the first time, non-invasive studies of the white matter tracts in the human central nervous system, thus making available cutting-edge brain anatomical data describing these global…
This report discusses the application of neural networks (NNs) as small segments of the brain. The networks representing the biological connectome are altered both spatially and temporally. The degradation techniques applied here are…
Current neuroimaging studies on neurodegenerative diseases and psychological risk factors have been developed predominantly in non Hispanic White cohorts, with other populations markedly underrepresented. In this work, we construct directed…
Brain networks from functional MRI have advanced our understanding of cortical activity and its disruption in neurodegenerative disorders. Recent work has increasingly focused on dynamic (time-varying) brain networks that capture both…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is commonly utilized to study human brain activity, including abnormal functional properties related to neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to investigate the differences in the…
Whole-brain network analyses remain the vanguard in neuroimaging research, coming to prominence within the last decade. Network science approaches have facilitated these analyses and allowed examining the brain as an integrated system.…
If brain anatomy and dynamics have a genuine complex network structure as it has become standard to posit, it is also reasonable to assume that such a structure should play a key role not only in brain function but also in brain…
Subtle alterations in brain network topology often evade detection by traditional statistical methods. To address this limitation, we introduce a Bayesian inference framework for topological comparison of brain networks that…
