In this issue of Neuron, Raj et al. (2012) and Zhou et al. (2012) use graph theory to suggest that neurodegenerative diseases spread diffusively via intrinsic brain networks. These studies provide a powerful model for understanding and predicting disease-specific profiles of neurodegeneration.
在本期《神经元》杂志中,Raj 等人(2012 年)和 Zhou 等人(2012 年)运用图论提出,神经退行性疾病通过大脑内部网络进行弥散性传播。这些研究为理解和预测特定神经退行性疾病的具体特征提供了一个有力的模型。
