While this framework is well-suited for hypothesis testing approaches, achieving the modern goal of precision medicine requires a different framework that is predictive in nature and that focuses on maximizing the predictive power of models and evaluating their ability to generalize beyond the data that were used to train them. However, few tools exist to support the development and evaluation of predictive models in the context of neuroimaging or lesion-behavior research, creating an obstacle to the widespread adoption of predictive modeling approaches in the field. Further, existing tools for lesion-behavior analysis are often unable to accommodate categorical outcome variables and often impose restrictions on the predictor data. Researchers therefore often must use different software packages and analytical approaches depending on (a) whether they are addressing a classification versus regression problem and (b) whether their predictor data correspond to binary lesion images, continuous lesion-network images, connectivity matrices, or other data modalities. To address these limitations, we have developed a MATLAB software toolkit that supports both inferential and predictive modeling frameworks, accommodates both classification and regression problems, and does not impose restrictions on the modality of the predictor data. The toolkit features both a graphical user interface and scripting interface, includes implementations of multiple mass-univariate, multivariate, and machine learning models, features built-in and customizable routines for hyper-parameter optimization, cross-validation, model stacking, and significance testing, and automatically generates text-based descriptions of key methodological details and modeling results to improve reproducibility and minimize errors in the reporting of methods and results. Here, we provide an overview and discussion of the toolkit's features and demonstrate its functionality by applying it to the question of how expressive and receptive language impairments relate to lesion location, structural disconnection, and functional network disruption in a large sample of patients with left hemispheric brain lesions. We find that impairments in expressive versus receptive language are most strongly associated with left lateral prefrontal and left posterior temporal/parietal damage, respectively. We also find that impairments in expressive vs. receptive language are associated with partially overlapping patterns of fronto-temporal structural disconnection and with similar functional networks. Importantly, we find that lesion location and lesion-derived network measures are highly predictive of both types of impairment, with predictions from mode","PeriodicalId":13019,"journal":{"name":"Human Brain Mapping","volume":"45 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11665964/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142881889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous prediction work has predominantly been done on neuroimaging data, our focus is on electroencephalography (EEG), a relatively inexpensive, widely available and non-invasive data modality. However, EEG data is complex and needs some form of feature extraction for subsequent prediction. This process is sometimes done manually, risking biases and suboptimal decisions. Here we investigate the use of data-driven Kernel methods for prediction from single channels using the EEG spectrogram, which reflects macro-scale neural oscillations in the brain. Specifically, we introduce the idea of reinterpreting the spectrogram of each channel as a probability distribution, so that we can leverage advanced machine learning techniques that can handle probability distributions with mathematical rigour and without the need for manual feature extraction. We explore how the resulting technique, Kernel mean embedding regression, compares to a standard application of Kernel ridge regression as well as to a non-Kernelised approach. Overall, we found that the Kernel methods exhibit improved performance thanks to their capacity to handle nonlinearities in the relation between the EEG spectrogram and the trait of interest.

Accordingly, there is a great interest in understanding how variability in the hippocampus' structure relates to variability in behavior in healthy and clinical populations. In this study, we aimed to link interindividual variability in subregional hippocampal networks (i.e., the brain grey matter networks of hippocampal subregions) to variability in behavioral phenotype. To do so, we used a multiblock multivariate approach mapping the association between grey matter volume in hippocampal subregions, grey matter volume in the whole brain regions, and behavioral variables in healthy adults. To ensure the robustness and generalizability of the findings, we implemented a cross-cohort discovery and validation framework. This framework utilized two independent cohorts: the Human Connectome Project Young Adult (HCP-YA) cohort and the Human Connectome Project Aging (HCP-A) cohort, enabling us to assess the replicability and generalizability of hippocampal–brain–behavior phenotypes across different age groups in the population. Our results highlighted a left anterior hippocampal morphological network including the left amygdala and the posterior midline structures whose expression relates to higher self-regulation, life satisfaction, and better performance at standard neuropsychological tests. The cross-cohort generalizability of the hippocampus–brain–behavior mapping demonstrates its relevance beyond a specific population sample. Our previous work in developmental populations showed that the hippocampus' head co-maturates with most of the brain during childhood. The current data-driven study further suggests that grey matter volume in the left hippocampal head network would be particularly relevant for self-regulation abilities in adults that influence a range of life outcomes. Future studies should thus investigate the factors influencing the development of this morphological network across childhood, as well as its relationship to neurocognitive phenotypes in various brain diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":13019,"journal":{"name":"Human Brain Mapping","volume":"45 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hbm.70099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142863995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Weighted images such as T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and proton density-weighted (T1w, T2w, and PDw, respectively) are used for evaluating the brain's macrostructure; however, their values cannot be used for microstructural analysis, as they lack physical meaning. Quantitative MRI (qMRI) relaxation rate parameters (e.g., R1 and R2) do contain microstructural physical meaning. Nevertheless, qMRI is rarely done in large-scale clinical databases. Currently, the weighted images ratio T1w/T2w is used as a quantifier to approximate the brain's microstructure. In this paper, we test three additional quantifiers that approximate quantitative maps, which can help bring quantitative MRI to the clinic for easy use. Following the signal equations and using simple mathematical operations, we combine the T1w, T2w, and PDw images to estimate the R1 and R2 maps. We find that two of these quantifiers (T1w/PDw and T1w/ln(T2w)) can approximate R1, and that (ln(T2w/PDw)) can approximate R2, in 3 datasets that were tested. We find that this approach also can be applied to T2w scans taken from widely available DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) datasets. We tested these quantifiers on both in vitro phantom and in vivo human datasets. We found that the quantifiers accurately represent the quantitative parameters across datasets.

Functional connectivity research reveals that sensory cortices are connected to corresponding association cortices via a series of intermediate nodes linked by synchronous neural activity. These sensory pathways and relay stations converge onto central cortical hubs such as the default-mode network (DMN). The DMN regions are believed to be critical for representing concepts and, hence, language acquisition and use. Although prior research has established that major senses are placed at a similar distance from the DMN—five to six connective steps—it is still unknown how the olfactory system functionally connects to the large-scale cortical hubs of the human brain. In this study, we investigated the connective distance from olfactory seed areas to the DMN. The connective distance involves a series of three to four intermediate steps. Furthermore, we parcellated the olfactory cortical subregions and found evidence of two distinct olfactory pathways. One emerges from the anterior olfactory nucleus and olfactory tubercle; it involves early access to the orbitofrontal cortex, known for processing reward and multisensory signals. The other emerges from the frontal and temporal regions of the piriform cortex, involving the anterior insula, intermediate frontal sulcus, and parietal operculum. The results were confirmed in a replication cohort.
