Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Brain Network Analysis

Background:

  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is crucial for understanding brain function and connectivity patterns.
  • Accurate definition of network nodes is essential for meaningful neurobiological interpretation of brain connectivity.
  • Existing methods for defining network nodes can impact connectivity results and their interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method for intra-subject topological characterization of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) brain network nodes.
  • To develop a whole-brain parcellation algorithm for defining anatomically and functionally homogeneous brain regions as network nodes.
  • To enhance the accuracy and interpretability of brain connectivity analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A novel whole-brain parcellation algorithm based on Tononi's cluster index for intra-subject topological characterization of fMRI brain networks.
  • The algorithm identifies clusters homogeneous in anatomical and functional aspects, defining each as a network node.
  • Functional parcellation utilizes measures of instantaneous correlation, assessing intrinsic and extrinsic statistical dependencies.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method demonstrated strong performance and reliability on simulated data.
  • Validation on a real fMRI dataset from healthy subjects during visual stimulation confirmed its robustness.
  • Application to epileptic patients' fMRI data during seizures showed its utility for effective connectivity analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm performs effectively on simulated data.
  • The method yields reliable inter-subject results, crucial for group studies.
  • It enables a detailed and accurate definition of effective connectivity patterns in brain networks.
