Multiscale Community-Based Fingerprinting of Signed Functional Networks

The paper introduces a multiscale community-based fingerprinting framework for signed functional brain networks, using a signed multilayer community detection approach that captures both correlated and anti-correlated activity. Graph-theoretic metrics derived from the joint community structures yield low-dimensional, interpretable fingerprints that reliably identify individuals across multiple sessions and tasks. Evaluation on 810 healthy controls from the Human Connectome Project demonstrates that these community-based fingerprints outperform traditional edge-level methods in stability and interpretability.

BrainNet Studio: A Unified Toolkit for Brain Network Construction, Intelligent Analysis, and Visualization

BrainNet Studio is a unified toolkit that enables the construction, analysis, and visualization of both static and dynamic brain networks. It integrates 27 algorithms—including deep learning, graph neural networks, and spatiotemporal sequence models—to support classification, biomarker identification, and the extraction of discriminative brain regions and connections. The toolkit also employs a large language model to generate researcher‑verifiable summaries of functional and structural connectivity, as well as structure‑function coupling, at individual and group levels.

Geometry-Guided Generative Representation for Functional Brain Graphs

arXiv:2511. 04539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In network neuroscience, functional brain systems are often characterized using separate yet related graph-theoretic or spectral descriptors, overlooking how these properties covary and partially overlap across individuals and conditions.

Supervised Deep Multimodal Matrix Factorization for Interpretable Brain Network Analysis

The paper introduces Supervised Deep Multimodal Matrix Factorization (SD3MF), an interpretable framework that extends Symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Tri-Factorization to supervised prediction across populations of multimodal brain graphs. SD3MF learns deep hierarchical factorizations for each modality and a shared latent representation, jointly optimizing graph reconstruction and prediction while enabling data-driven multimodal fusion. Experiments on multimodal connectome datasets demonstrate that SD3MF outperforms strong deep learning baselines such as CNNs and GNNs, providing biologically interpretable insights through community-level interaction matrices.

MSR-IVA: Masked Structural Residual Independent Vector Analysis for State-Aware Fusion of Structural MRI and Dynamic Functional Network Connectivity

The paper introduces MSR-IVA, a state-aware fusion method that combines a shared structural representation with state‑specific residual adaptations and masks for incomplete state expression. Applied to an Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort, MSR-IVA increased matched source coupling by 6.5% and decreased unmatched dependence by 15.7% compared to a baseline IVA approach. For subjects expressing both states, the method achieved a mean absolute cross‑state structural source correlation of 0.9177, far higher than the 0.2978 obtained without sharing, indicating effective preservation of source correspondence while allowing state‑specific adaptation.
