Uncovering Individual Language Vulnerability in Epilepsy Through Functional Connectivity Laterality.

BACKGROUND Language processing is organized in brain networks, generally lateralized to the left hemisphere. In clinical routine, task-based functional MRI (fMRI) is the gold standard for non-invasive evaluation of language lateralization. However, standard fMRI does not account for the individual heterogeneity of lang...

fNIRS in Autism Neuroscience: From Replication to Discovery.

The evidence supports fNIRS as a research tool for cortical hemodynamic measurement, while specific fNIRS-derived patterns of regional activation or connectivity have yet to be validated as biomarkers.

Neuroimaging-Based Autism Spectrum Disorder Risk Screening Using Graph-Based Modeling of Resting-State Functional Connectivity

A robust, interpretable, and externally validated neuroimaging-only framework for ASD risk screening that demonstrates strong generalization across multi-site rs-fMRI datasets and integrates GNNExplainer-based attribution maps, addressing a key barrier to clinical adoption of deep learning models in neurodevelopmental...

Dynamic Functional Connectivity-Based Classification of Partial Sleep Deprivation Across Age Groups using Resting-State fMRI

Sleep deprivation impacts large-scale brain network dynamics, and there are only limited neuroimaging biomarkers available to reliably detect sleep loss across individuals and age groups. In this study, Dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) analysis of resting-state fMRI was employed to classify partial sleep deprivati...

Evaluating seed-based and independent component analysis approaches for resting-state functional connectivity mapping with fNIRS

Abstract. Significance Resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) is an important measure in advancing our understanding of brain function and development as well as various neurological and mental disorders. Studying RSFC with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers several advantages over functional ma...

Benchmarking Synolitic Graphs for Autism Classification from Multisite Resting-State fMRI

Background/Objectives: Synolitic graphs (SGs) were developed for task-based fMRI, where edge weights encode the discriminative power of pairwise regional features; whether similar information can be recovered from resting-state data was untested. We benchmarked SGs for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) classification usin...
