Abstract

The characterization of gray matter morphology of individual brains is an important issue in neuroscience. Graph theory has been used to describe cortical morphology, with networks based on covariation of gray matter volume or thickness between cortical areas across people. Here, we extend this research by proposing a new method that describes the gray matter morphology of an individual cortex as a network. In these large-scale morphological networks, nodes represent small cortical regions, and edges connect regions that have a statistically similar structure. The method was applied to a healthy sample (n = 14, scanned at 2 different time points). For all networks, we described the spatial degree distribution, average minimum path length, average clustering coefficient, small world property, and betweenness centrality (BC). Finally, we studied the reproducibility of all these properties. The networks showed more clustering than random networks and a similar minimum path length, indicating that they were "small world." The spatial degree and BC distributions corresponded closely to those from group-derived networks. All network property values were reproducible over the 2 time points examined. Our results demonstrate that intracortical similarities can be used to provide a robust statistical description of individual gray matter morphology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
