This NIH-funded project develops algorithms and tools to analyze white matter functional networks in the brain using resting-state fMRI data, aiming to improve understanding of brain connectivity and aid neuropsychiatric disorder diagnosis and treatment.
Description
The project aims to investigate the functional networks of the brain’s white matter, a critical yet often overlooked region in neuroimaging studies. By analyzing resting-state fMRI data from large cohorts, the study will develop methods to characterize white matter functional networks (WM-FNs), explore their relationship with phenotypic traits, and create a toolbox for WM-FN analysis. This research will enhance understanding of brain connectivity and support future clinical applications.
