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.

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.
