Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Network Science
Statistical Modeling

Background:

The brain is modeled as a network where nodes represent brain regions and edges represent interactions.
Analyzing group-level brain connectivity requires understanding common network features while accounting for individual variability.
Existing methods either oversimplify by creating a group-representative network (GRN) or miss shared information by analyzing individuals independently.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel Bayesian framework for characterizing the distribution of an entire population of brain networks.
To extend exponential random graph models (ERGM) to handle multiple networks simultaneously.
To apply the framework to compare functional brain connectivity structures between young and old individuals.

Main Methods:

Utilized a Bayesian framework based on exponential random graph models (ERGM) extended for multiple networks.
Applied the method to resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from the Cam-CAN project.
Compared functional connectivity structures between a group of young and a group of old healthy adults.

Main Results:

The proposed Bayesian framework successfully characterized the distribution of brain networks within the studied population.
The method allowed for reliable characterization and comparison of functional connectivity structures across age groups.
Demonstrated the framework's utility in identifying age-related differences in brain network properties.

Conclusions:

The developed Bayesian multi-network ERGM framework provides a robust approach to analyzing group-level brain connectivity.
This method effectively captures both commonalities and individual variations in network structure across populations.
The findings highlight the potential of this framework for studying brain network changes in aging and other conditions.
