Abstract
En 中文
The recent advances in neuroimaging technology allow us to understand how the human brain is wired in vivo and how functional activity is synchronized across multiple regions. Growing evidence shows that the complexity of the functional connectivity is far beyond the widely used mono-layer network. Indeed, the hierarchical processing information among distinct brain regions and across multiple channels requires using a more advanced multilayer model to understand the synchronization across the brain that underlies functional brain networks. However, the principled approach for characterizing network organization in the context of multilayer topologies is largely unexplored. In this work, we present a novel multi-variate hub identification method that takes both the intra- and inter-layer network topologies into account. Specifically, we put the spotlight on the multilayer graph embeddings that allow us to separate connector hubs (connecting across network modules) with their peripheral nodes. The removal of these hub nodes breaks down the entire multilayer brain network into a set of disconnected communities. We have evaluated our novel multilayer hub identification method in task- based and resting-state functional images. Complimenting ongoing findings using mono-layer brain networks, our multilayer network analysis provides a new understanding of brain network topology that links functional connectivities with brain states and disease progression.
