Both the Pearson correlation and partial correlation methods have been widely used in the resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) studies. However, they can only measure linear relationship, although partial correlation excludes some indirect effects. Recent distance correlation can discover both the linear and non-linear dependencies. Our goal was to use the multivariate pattern analysis to compare […]

Structural and functional integrity of the cerebral vasculature ensures proper brain development and function, as well as healthy aging. The inability of the brain to store energy makes it exceptionally dependent on an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients from the blood stream for matching colossal demands of neural and glial cells. Key vascular features […]
