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.

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.
HyperAMS‑Net is a deep learning framework that classifies brain disorders from resting‑state fMRI or structural MRI data. It combines adaptive multi‑scale convolution, hypergraph attention, spatial‑channel attention, and adaptive feature fusion to capture complementary patterns across multiple scales and higher‑order dependencies. Evaluated on ABIDE, REST‑meta‑MDD, and ADNI datasets, it achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy and AUC, with ablation studies showing hypergraph attention as the most critical component.
arXiv:2606. 01237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are closely associated with the early Alzheimer's disease continuum, where accurate and explainable diagnosis is important for early risk assessment and intervention.
The paper presents a diagnostic framework for Alzheimer’s disease that uses the Large Brain Model (LaBraM), a foundation model pretrained on over 2,500 hours of EEG data, to generate high‑dimensional latent embeddings. These embeddings are fed into a non‑linear Random Forest classifier, achieving an ROC‑AUC of 89.36% ± 3.49%, PR AUC of 81.45% ± 4.43%, and Balanced Accuracy of 82.44% ± 4.34% in a subject‑independent 5‑fold cross‑validation setting, using only 8‑second EEG segments. Post‑hoc occlusion and neurophysiological alignment analyses confirm that the model captures clinically validated biomarkers such as occipital‑frontal Alpha and Theta rhythm degradation and correlates with cognitive performance and clinical severity.
Rhamba is a region‑aware pretraining framework for resting‑state fMRI that combines anatomically guided masking with hybrid Attention‑Mamba architectures. The study pretrained models on the ABIDE dataset using three masking strategies (Any, Majority, Pure) and evaluated four architectural variants, finding that the Mamba‑Attention (MA) hybrid achieved the best average AUROC on downstream schizophrenia and ADHD classification tasks. Explainable AI via Integrated Gradients highlighted that performance depends on the interaction between masking strategy and architecture rather than a single dominant configuration.
The study presents an explainable multimodal deep‑learning framework that combines a 3D CNN for T1‑weighted MRI with a feedforward network for harmonized clinical and demographic data to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Using 6,479 ADNI records and 1,703 OASIS‑3 records, the authors compare various model configurations on three‑way and pairwise diagnostic tasks, finding that performance and explanations vary by task, modality, fusion strategy, and cohort. SHAP and Integrated Gradients consistently highlight the MMSE score as the most influential tabular feature, while CAM‑based explanations differ across model setups and cohorts, indicating that explainability is not a stable property under cohort shift.

arXiv:2608. 07393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( fMRI ) data are often pooled into collaborative multi-site consortia, as deep learning models for analyses require large datasets to generalize well.
In longitudinal Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis support, clinical and imaging information is often collected at irregular visits. Integrating these multimodal observations may improve diagnostic assessment, but naive fusion can degrade performance when MRI is noisy or intermittently unavailable.
arXiv:2607. 01401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Accurate MRI-based identification of Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and related dementias remains challenging because disease-related structural changes are often subtle and heterogeneous.
