AbstractThe brain functional connectome development is fundamental to neurocognitive growth in youth. While brain age prediction has been widely used to assess connectome development at the individual level, traditional approaches providing a global index overlook the spatial variability and inter-individual heterogeneity of functional connectivity (FC) development across the cortex. In this study, we introduced a regional brain development index to assess spatially fine-grained FC development.

AbstractNetwork control theory (NCT) is a simple and powerful tool for studying how network topology informs and constrains the dynamics of a system. Compared to other structure–function coupling approaches, the strength of NCT lies in its capacity to predict the patterns of external control signals that may alter the dynamics of a system in a desired way. An interesting development for NCT in the neuroscience field is its application to study behavior and mental health symptoms.
