SC-TauPath: A Structural Connectivity Attribution Framework for Mapping Tau Propagation Pathways in Alzheimer's Disease

arXiv:2606. 04066v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding how structural connections are associated with tau propagation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a central open question, yet existing computational models either rely heavily on biophysical assumptions or lack neurobiologically interpretable pathway maps.

Feynman Kac Reweighted Schr\"odinger Bridge Matching for Surface-Based Tau PET Harmonization

arXiv:2606. 17420v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tau PET imaging is central to tracking Alzheimer's disease progression, but systematic differences between scanners, protocols, and radiotracers across sites introduce nonbiological variability that inflates biomarker variance, reduces sensitivity to disease effects, and can bias downstream clinical assessments.

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.

Cross-scale spatially-aware generative modeling of transcriptomic programs underlying neurodegenerative brain organization

arXiv:2606. 05870v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease exhibit highly organized patterns of regional brain vulnerability, yet the biological mechanisms underlying this spatial selectivity remain incompletely understood.

Modality Contribution Score - A Per-Patient Framework for Quantifying the Relative Diagnostic Contribution of Structural MRI and Amyloid PET in Alzheimer's Disease

The paper introduces MCNet, a neural network that assigns a Modality Contribution Score (MCS) to each patient, indicating how much structural MRI versus amyloid PET drives the diagnostic decision for Alzheimer’s disease. Across 327 ADNI-3 participants, MCNet achieved strong three‑class staging (AUC = 0.881) and the MCS showed a clear, statistically significant increase in PET dominance from cognitively normal to AD. The method was validated on an independent OASIS‑3 cohort and compared favorably to SHAP, suggesting it can guide personalized imaging and clinical trial decisions.
