过去二十年,网络科学工具被用于刻画大脑结构与功能网络的组织特性。其中,枢纽节点识别是关键指标:枢纽节点连接不同脑区,对应特定功能过程。传统方法仅基于功能磁共振成像(fMRI)构建的功能连接网络,使用中心性与参与系数等度量评估节点重要性,忽视了大脑中结构-功能耦合关系。本文提出一种基于图信号处理(GSP)的枢纽节点检测框架,将功能活动建模为结构连接图上的图信号。假设枢纽节点稀疏、活动水平高于邻近节点,非枢纽节点活动可视为图滤波器输出。据此构建优化框架GraFHub,学习最优多项式图滤波器系数并识别枢纽节点。在模拟数据及人类连接组计划(HCP)的静息态fMRI数据上进行评估,结果表明该方法能有效捕捉结构-功能耦合特征,提升枢纽识别精度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Over the past two decades, tools from network science have been leveraged to characterize the organization of both structural and functional networks of the brain. One such measure of network organization is hub node identification. Hubs are specialized nodes within a network that link distinct brain units corresponding to specialized functional processes. Conventional methods for identifying hub nodes utilize different types of centrality measures and participation coefficient to profile various aspects of nodal importance. These methods solely rely on the functional connectivity networks constructed from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), ignoring the structure-function coupling in the brain. In this paper, we introduce a graph signal processing (GSP) based hub detection framework that utilizes both the structural connectivity and the functional activation to identify hub nodes. The proposed framework models functional activity as graph signals on the structural connectivity. Hub nodes are then detected based on the premise that hub nodes are sparse, have higher level of activity compared to their neighbors, and the non-hub nodes' activity can be modeled as the output of a graph-based filter. Based on these assumptions, an optimization framework, GraFHub, is formulated to learn the coefficients of the optimal polynomial graph filter and detect the hub nodes. The proposed framework is evaluated on both simulated data and resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) data from Human Connectome Project (HCP).
