Causal functional connectivity in Alzheimer’s disease computed from time series fMRI data

Functional connectivity between brain regions is known to be altered in Alzheimer’s disease and promises to be a biomarker for early diagnosis. Several approaches for functional connectivity obtain an un-directed network representing stochastic associations (correlations) between brain regions. However, association does not necessarily imply causation. In contrast, Causal Functional Connectivity (CFC) is more informative, providing […]

Enhanced simulations of whole-brain dynamics using hybrid resting-state structural connectomes

The human brain, composed of billions of neurons and synaptic connections, is an intricate network coordinating a sophisticated balance of excitatory and inhibitory activities between brain regions. The dynamical balance between excitation and inhibition is vital for adjusting neural input/output relationships in cortical networks and regulating the dynamic range of their responses to stimuli. To […]
