AbstractFunctional brain connectivity is altered in children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Mapping pre-symptomatic functional disruptions in ASD could identify infants based on neural risk, providing a crucial opportunity to mediate outcomes before behavioral symptoms emerge.Here we quantify functional connectivity using scalable EEG measures of oscillatory phase coherence (6-12Hz). Infants at high and low familial risk for ASD (N=65) underwent an EEG recording at 3 months of age and were assessed for ASD symptoms at 18 months using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Toddler Module. Multivariate pattern analysis was used to examine early functional patterns that are associated with later ASD symptoms.Support vector regression (SVR) algorithms accurately predicted observed ASD symptoms at 18 months from EEG data at 3 months (r=0.76, p=0.02). Specifically, lower frontal connectivity and higher right temporo-parietal connectivity predicted higher ASD symptoms. The SVR model did not predict non-verbal cognitive abilities at 18 months (r=0.15, p=0.36), suggesting specificity of these brain alterations to ASD.These data suggest that frontal and temporo-parietal dysconnectivity play important roles in the early pathophysiology of ASD. Early functional differences in ASD can be captured using EEG during infancy and may inform much-needed advancements in the early detection of ASD.

AbstractAdvances in breast cancer (BC) treatments have resulted in significantly improved survival rates. However, BC chemotherapy is often associated with several side effects including cognitive dysfunction. We applied multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to find a brain connectivity pattern that accurately and automatically distinguishes chemotherapy-treated (C+) from non-chemotherapy treated (C−) BC females and healthy female controls (HC). Twenty-seven C+, 29 C−, and 30 HC underwent fMRI during an executive-prefrontal task (Go/Nogo). The pattern of functional connectivity associated with this task discriminated with significant accuracy between C+ and HC groups (72%, p = .006) and between C+ and C− groups (71%, p = .012). However, the accuracy of discrimination between C− and HC was not significant (51%, p = .46). Compared with HC, behavioral performance of the C+ and C− groups during the task was intact. However, the C+ group demonstrated altered functional connectivity in the right frontoparietal and left supplementary motor area networks compared to HC, and in the right middle frontal and left superior frontal gyri networks, compared to C−. Our results provide further evidence that executive function performance may be preserved in some chemotherapy-treated BC survivors through recruitment of additional neural connections.

Background and Objective: Although depression is one of the most common non-motor symptoms in essential tremor (ET), its pathogenesis and diagnosis biomarker are still unknown. Recently, machine learning multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) combined with connectivity mapping of resting-state fMRI has provided a promising way to identify patients with depressed ET at the individual level and help to reveal the brain network pathogenesis of depression in patients with ET.Methods: Based on global brain connectivity (GBC) mapping from 41 depressed ET, 49 non-depressed ET, 45 primary depression, and 43 healthy controls (HCs), multiclass Gaussian process classification (GPC) and binary support vector machine (SVM) algorithms were used to identify patients with depressed ET from non-depressed ET, primary depression, and HCs, and the accuracy and permutation tests were used to assess the classification performance.Results: While the total accuracy (40.45%) of four-class GPC was poor, the four-class GPC could discriminate depressed ET from non-depressed ET, primary depression, and HCs with a sensitivity of 70.73% (P < 0.001). At the same time, the sensitivity of using binary SVM to discriminate depressed ET from non-depressed ET, primary depression, and HCs was 73.17, 80.49, and 75.61%, respectively (P < 0.001). The significant discriminative features were mainly located in cerebellar-motor-prefrontal cortex circuits (P < 0.001), and a further correlation analysis showed that the GBC values of significant discriminative features in the right middle prefrontal gyrus, bilateral cerebellum VI, and Crus 1 were correlated with clinical depression severity in patients with depressed ET.Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that GBC mapping combined with machine learning MVPA could be used to identify patients with depressed ET, and the GBC changes in cerebellar-prefrontal cortex circuits not only posed as the significant discriminative features but also helped to understand the network pathogenesis underlying depression in patients with ET.

Group functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) studies have documented reliable changes in human functional brain maturity over development. Here we show that support vector machine-based multivariate pattern analysis extracts sufficient information from fcMRI data to make accurate predictions about individuals’ brain maturity across development. The use of only 5 minutes of resting-state fcMRI data from 238 scans of typically developing volunteers (ages 7 to 30 years) allowed prediction of individual brain maturity as a functional connectivity maturation index. The resultant functional maturation curve accounted for 55% of the sample variance and followed a nonlinear asymptotic growth curve shape. The greatest relative contribution to predicting individual brain maturity was made by the weakening of short-range functional connections between the adult brain’s major functional networks.
