Functional Network Connectivity
Functional network connectivity (FNC) research investigates the relationships between different brain regions' activity, aiming to understand how these interactions contribute to cognitive functions and neurological disorders. Current research heavily utilizes machine learning, particularly deep learning models like GANs and Bayesian networks, to analyze FNC data from neuroimaging (fMRI, sMRI) and genomic data, often focusing on identifying biomarkers for diseases like Alzheimer's and depression and predicting treatment response. These studies leverage multi-modal data and multi-scale features to improve diagnostic accuracy and personalize treatment strategies. The ultimate goal is to translate these findings into improved clinical diagnostics and more effective, targeted interventions for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
