Gray Matter

Gray matter, the brain's outer layer responsible for higher cognitive functions, is a focus of intense research using advanced imaging techniques like MRI. Current studies employ deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), graph convolutional networks (GCNs), and transformers, to analyze gray matter structure and connectivity, often integrating multiple data modalities (e.g., MRI, genomics) for improved accuracy and interpretability. This research aims to improve the understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders by identifying patterns in gray matter morphology and connectivity associated with diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, leading to more accurate diagnoses and potentially personalized treatments.
