MRI Graph Analysis and Inference for Connectomics (MIGRAINE)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently, connectomes (e.g., functional or structural brain graphs) can be estimated in humans at an O(1 mm) scale using a combination of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. This manuscript summarizes a novel, scalable implementation of open-source algorithms to rapidly estimate magnetic resonance connectomes, using both anatomical regions of interest (ROIs) and voxelsize vertices. Here we provide an overview of the methods used, demonstrate our implementation, and discuss available user extensions. We conclude with a use case showing the efficacy of the pipeline and example results.

Ontology-based approach for in vivo human connectomics: the medial Brodmann area 6 case study
Different non-invasive neuroimaging modalities and multi-level analysis of human connectomics datasets yield a great amount of heterogeneous data which are hard to integrate into an unified representation. Biomedical ontologies can provide a suitable integrative framework for domain knowledge as well as a tool to facilitate information retrieval, data sharing and data comparisons across scales,...
متن کاملBayesian Inference of Whole-Brain Networks
In structural brain networks the connections of interest consist of white-matter fibre bundles between spatially segregated brain regions. The presence, location and orientation of these white matter tracts can be derived using diffusion MRI in combination with probabilistic tractography. Unfortunately, as of yet no approaches have been suggested that provide an undisputed way of inferring brai...
متن کاملGRETNA: a graph theoretical network analysis toolbox for imaging connectomics
Recent studies have suggested that the brain's structural and functional networks (i.e., connectomics) can be constructed by various imaging technologies (e.g., EEG/MEG; structural, diffusion and functional MRI) and further characterized by graph theory. Given the huge complexity of network construction, analysis and statistics, toolboxes incorporating these functions are largely lacking. Here,...
متن کاملQuantifying the intra- and inter-subject variability of whole-brain structural networks from diffusion MRI
INTRODUCTION Connectomics is a recent development in neuroscience that combines diffusion MRI (dMRI) and tractography with the analytical tools of network theory to investigate whole-brain connectivity [1]. Under this paradigm, segmented cortical areas (e.g. Brodmann areas) form the nodes of a network and tractography is used to construct a set of white matters tracts which form the connections...
متن کاملQuantifying uncertainty in brain network measures using Bayesian connectomics
The wiring diagram of the human brain can be described in terms of graph measures that characterize structural regularities. These measures require an estimate of whole-brain structural connectivity for which one may resort to deterministic or thresholded probabilistic streamlining procedures. While these procedures have provided important insights about the characteristics of human brain netwo...
