Background:

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is crucial for analyzing functional connectivity (FC) networks.
Automated identification of brain disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often relies on FC network analysis.
Current thresholding methods for FC networks typically use fixed thresholds, overlooking the diverse temporal correlations between brain regions across subject groups.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel Distribution-Guided Network Thresholding Learning (DNTL) method for enhanced FC network analysis.
To improve the accuracy of brain disorder identification using rs-fMRI data.
To address the limitations of pre-defined thresholding methods by preserving the diversity of temporal correlations.

Main Methods:

Developed the DNTL method to determine adaptive, connection-specific thresholds for FC networks.
Thresholds are based on the distribution of connection strengths (temporal correlations) between subject groups (e.g., patients vs. controls).
Applied the DNTL method to rs-fMRI data from 365 subjects across two datasets (ADNI and ADHD-200).

Main Results:

The DNTL method adaptively generates FC-specific thresholds for each connection.
This approach preserves the diversity of temporal correlations among different brain regions.
Experimental results demonstrate that DNTL outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in brain disorder identification.

Conclusions:

The DNTL method offers a more nuanced approach to FC network analysis by considering group-specific correlation distributions.
This adaptive thresholding strategy enhances the identification of brain disorders from rs-fMRI data.
DNTL shows significant potential for improving diagnostic accuracy in neurological and psychiatric conditions.
