Abstract:
The purpose of this reply is to address the comments given by Kelly et al. on our original paper "Unique Brain Network Identification Number for Parkinson's and Healthy Individuals using Structural MRI". We agree to the inadvertent rounding pitfall in our original paper due to the non-inclusion of symbolic math toolbox (MATLAB). We now provide the actual ranges (with decimal values) of the UBNIN values of healthy individuals and those with Parkinson's disease and further observations. Upon further introspection, we propose another variant, called Modified-UBNIN (UBNIN-MT,MN) which is highly weighted on the node with the highest network degree (i.e., connections). The italicized sentences within inverted commas are statements from Kelly et al.'s comment paper.
