Abstract
Motivation: This work introduces the Neuropathological Function Estimations software, designed to facilitate the study of neuronal activity alterations in neurological disorders without requiring programming expertise. With its user-friendly interface, researchers can input various data types to generate subject-specific functional brain models and decode neuropathological influences.
Results: The software's capabilities are validated through its application to Alzheimer's disease, providing insights into neuronal excitability and disease mechanisms. This tool has the potential to enhance our understanding of the biological basis of in vivo neural activity and contribute to the development of personalized therapeutic interventions.
Availability and implementation: The latest version of the software and support are freely available for noncommercial users through the Neuroinformatics for Personalized Medicine Lab (NeuroPM Lab) website at McGill University (https://www.neuropm-lab.com/neuropm-box.html). The software is maintained by the NeuroPM team. This publication is linked to version 1.0.
