Download or read book Reliability and Reproducibility in Functional Connectomics written by Xi-Nian Zuo and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional connectomics enables researchers to monitor interactions among thousands of units within the whole brain simultaneously by using various vivo imaging technologies. For example, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging can image low-frequency fluctuations in the spontaneous brain activities, representing a popular tool for macro-scale functional connectomics to characterize individual differences in normal brain function, mind-brain associations, and the various disorders. Reliability and reproducibility represents the most fundamental and critical aspect for the human brain functional connectomics to both research and clinical practice. Unfortunately, lacking a data platform for researchers to rigorously explore the reliability and reproducibility of the functional connectome indices has been a bottleneck of further development of clinically oriented imaging markers in the field. Recent efforts on open neuroscience, such as Consortium for Reliability and Reproducibility, Human Connectome Project and OpenFMRI, provide the data for the field to refine and evaluate reliability and reproducibility of novel methods as well as those with widespread usage but without sufficient consideration of reliability. This Frontiers Research Topic aims at bringing together contributions from researchers in brain imaging, neuroscience, computer sciences, applied mathematics, psychology and related fields from an interdisciplinary perspective. By focusing on cutting-edge research across these fields, this topic will create new agenda on quantifying the reliability and reproducibility of the myriad connectomics-based measures and informing expectations regarding the potential of biomarker discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging has the ability to provide information about brain functioning. However, it is difficult to interpret conclusions about rsfMRI data due to questions about the reliability of resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC). This study investigated the test-retest reliability of resting-state networks using a "mini" multiverse approach for individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) using back-to-back rsfMRI scans. This is an understudied area that can improve our understanding of RSFC and its potential use in clinical populations. 45 individuals with TBI and 41 healthy controls received back-to-back rsfMRI scans. 25 individuals with TBI and 15 healthy controls received another scanning session approximately 2 years after the first. The data were preprocessed with fMRIPrep. XCP_D was used to create functional connectivity matrices using 8 different brain atlases. Several graph theory metrics were calculated. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were utilized to examine the reliability of all graph metrics for each brain atlas across each participant's back-to-back rsfMRI scans for both scanning sessions. Results suggest that within-network connectivity, segregation, and modularity are the most reliable graph metrics, even after significant neurological compromise. The default mode network is one of the most reliable networks, whereas the limbic network is one of the least reliable networks. These results persist across the TBI and HC groups, brain atlases, and over time between the two scanning sessions, though there are some inconsistencies. This study underscores the importance of investigating the variability of ICCs. This will aid in the identification of resting-state biomarkers and will allow us to gain a better understanding of how subject characteristics and fMRI workflows impact RSFC reliability.

Download or read book Brain Network Dysfunction in Neuropsychiatric Illness written by Vaibhav A. Diwadkar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain network function and dysfunction is the dominant model for understanding how the brain gives rise to normal and abnormal behavior. Moreover, neuropsychiatric illnesses continue to resist attempts to reveal an understanding of their bases. Thus, this timely volume provides a synthesis of the uses of multiple analytic methods as they are applied to neuroimaging data, to seek understanding of the neurobiological bases of psychiatric illnesses, understanding that can subsequently aid in their management and treatment. A principle focus is on the analyses and application of methods to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. fMRI remains the most widely used neuroimaging technique for estimating brain network function, and several of the methods covered can estimate brain network dysfunction in resting and task-active states. Additional chapters provide details on how these methods are (and can be) applied in the understanding of several neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, mood disorders, autism, borderline personality disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A final complement of chapters provides a collective overview of how this framework continues to provoke theoretical advances in our conception of the brain in psychiatry. This unique volume is designed to be a comprehensive resource for imaging researchers interested in psychiatry, and for psychiatrists interested in advanced imaging applications.

Download or read book Frontiers in Psychiatry written by Yong-Ku Kim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-09 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews key recent advances and new frontiers within psychiatric research and clinical practice. These advances either represent or are enabling paradigm shifts in the discipline and are influencing how we observe, derive and test hypotheses, and intervene. Progress in information technology is allowing the collection of scattered, fragmented data and the discovery of hidden meanings from stored data, and the impacts on psychiatry are fully explored. Detailed attention is also paid to the applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science technology in psychiatry and to their role in the development of new hypotheses, which in turn promise to lead to new discoveries and treatments. Emerging research methods for precision medicine are discussed, as are a variety of novel theoretical frameworks for research, such as theoretical psychiatry, the developmental approach to the definition of psychopathology, and the theory of constructed emotion. The concluding section considers novel interventions and treatment avenues, including psychobiotics, the use of neuromodulation to augment cognitive control of emotion, and the role of the telomere-telomerase system in psychopharmacological interventions.
