Come join us for our workshop on "Graph modeling of macroscopic brain functional activity dynamics" at CNS*2023 on July 19th, Leipzig, Germany Workshop details can be found here: raj-lab-ucsf.github.io/cns2023/ @CNSorg

We perform elaborate experiments and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm for estimating functional connectivity from the structural connectome gives a competitive performance as compared to the existing benchmark methods with better interpretability. (4/4)

By concurrently estimating the joint eigenmodes and the functional eigenspectrum, we can reconstruct a given subject’s functional connectivity from their structural connectome. (3/4)

Check out our latest article nature.com/articles/s4159… describing Nexopathy in silico (Nexis), an extension of our previous NDM, which can quantify the effects of molecular nexopathy on the spread of tau. Here we quantify how microglia affect the diffusion and aggregation of tau.

Drs. @RajLab_UCSF, @parulv1 & @srinagarajan argue the need for models that can jointly capture temporal, spatial & spectral features of brain functional activity. bit.ly/3SbJlaE

Drs. @RajLab_UCSF, @parulv1 & @srinagarajan present recent work on #SpectralGraphTheory-based models that can accurately capture spectral as well as spatial patterns across multiple frequencies in #MEG reconstructions. bit.ly/3SbJlaE

NiSALS is the Neuroimaging Society in #ALS meeting being held in Milan from Oct 10th-11th

If you're attending the #NiSALS meeting in Milan tomorrow, check out Ashish Raj's keynote lecture on Network-constrained techniques to characterize spread of pathology in neurodegenerative disease

Check out our recent review article in Translation Research, "Connectome-based biophysics models of Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and prognosis" - short 🧵to follow! (1/4) #Alzheimers #neuroscience sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We detail recent work towards the "next generation" of connectome-based biophysics models that take into account more of these key features, as well as propose ways in which these approaches can be augmented and integrated to obtain clinically impactful models! #ENDALZ (4/4)

However, the biology of #Alzheimers is very complex! The neuroimmune response, selective vulnerability, and AD-induced functional deficits (among other mechanisms!) all play a role in determining the propagation of protein-based pathology and ultimately neurodegeneration. (3/4)

We present recent work on spectral graph theory based models that can accurately capture spectral as well as spatial patterns across multiple frequencies in MEG reconstructions. (4/4)

We argue the need for models that can jointly capture temporal, spatial, and spectral features of brain functional activity. (3/4)
