Longitudinal Bayesian Learning of Continuous Disease Position across the Alzheimer's Disease Continuum

arXiv:2608. 19436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) progresses as a continuous biological process, whereas most existing neuroimaging-based artificial intelligence methods remain limited to discrete diagnosis or clinical score prediction from cross-sectional imaging.

A Generalizable Feature Extractor for Alzheimer's-Related Brain MRI Tasks

The study investigates whether a compact, supervised 3D CNN pretrained for brain‑age prediction can act as a reusable foundation model for various Alzheimer's‑related neuroimaging tasks. By freezing the 7.18 million weights and adding only ~1 % of trainable parameters via Low‑Rank Adaptation, the model achieved high performance across six experiments, including dementia classification, MCI progression prediction, amyloid positivity detection, and volume estimation of hippocampal and white matter hypointensities. The results demonstrate that the pretrained brain‑age model generalizes well to new datasets without retraining, offering a data‑efficient alternative to larger networks.

Reverse Spatio-Temporal Disease Progression Modelling

The paper introduces a reverse spatio‑temporal disease progression model that reconstructs unobserved healthier anatomy from later diseased scans. It employs a two‑stage architecture: a frozen 3D vector‑quantised autoencoder creates a discrete latent space, and a Neural ODE learns continuous‑time dynamics, with a recurrent encoder initializing the latent state from reverse‑ordered observations. Experiments on a synthetic Morpho‑MNIST benchmark and longitudinal Alzheimer’s MRIs show the model can recover unseen prior states and outperform baseline methods in predicting healthy trajectories.

An Attention-Based Framework for Alzheimers Disease Classification Using Resting-State fMRI

arXiv:2607. 26746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate identification of Alzheimers disease (AD) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) remains challenging due to the high dimensionality, noise, and complex inter-regional dependencies inherent in functional brain connectivity, which limit the effectiveness of traditional approaches based on handcrafted connectivity features or conventional machine learning models.

Uncertainty-Aware Longitudinal Forecasting of Alzheimer's Disease Progression Using Deep Learning

Longitudinal modelling of Alzheimer's disease progression is clinically useful only if it can describe not just the most likely next diagnosis, but how a patient may evolve over time and how reliable that forecast is. Most deep learning approaches reduce this problem to single-step classification, treating cognitively normal, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia as flat categories while providing limited insight into how uncertainty accumulates across future visits.
