Background:

Understanding dynamic brain activity propagation over static networks is crucial.
Linear graph-theoretic models predict functional connectivity effectively and efficiently compared to non-linear simulations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simple, computationally efficient model for predicting functional connectivity from structural connectivity.
To investigate the impact of local activity diffusion and long-range connectivity on structure-function relationships.

Main Methods:

Utilized eigenvalues of structural connectivity and the Gamma function to model functional connectivity.
Incorporated local activity diffusion and long-range interhemispheric connectivity as latent variables.
Compared model performance against traditional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) methods.

Main Results:

A single-parameter model reliably predicts functional connectivity.
Accounting for local diffusion and long-range connections significantly improves prediction accuracy.
The proposed model offers a computationally advantageous alternative to complex neural simulations.

Conclusions:

The Gamma function model provides an efficient and accurate method for predicting brain functional connectivity from structural data.
Explicitly modeling local diffusion and long-range connections enhances the structure-function relationship prediction.
This approach offers a valuable tool for neuroscience research, particularly when DTI data is limited.
