Area of Science:

Neuroimaging
Computational Neuroscience
Brain Morphometry

Background:

Cortical topography studies aid subject characterization.
Sulcal pits, the deepest parts of cortical sulci, offer new research avenues.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce the first fully automatic brain morphometry method using sulcal pit spatial organization: Structural Graph-Based Morphometry (SGBM).
Develop a framework for analyzing local patterns of sulcal pits using attributed graphs.

Main Methods:

Defined a graph kernel for similarity measurement between pit-graphs.
Implemented a searchlight scheme for dense information maps across the cortical surface.
Employed a multi-scale inference strategy for analyzing information maps at various spatial scales.

Main Results:

Demonstrated SGBM's effectiveness in studying gender differences and cortical asymmetries.
Showcased SGBM's ability to localize informative regions and estimate spatial scales.
Achieved results consistent with existing literature.

Conclusions:

SGBM provides a powerful, modular framework for brain morphometry.
The method can be extended for detailed sulcal pattern analysis and diverse statistical problems.
SGBM is valuable for understanding normal brain variations and developing clinical imaging biomarkers.
