The human brain is a highly complex system, with a large variety of microscale cellular morphologies and macroscale global properties. Working at multiple scales, it forms an efficient system for processing and integration of multimodal information. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated strong associations between modalities of both microscales and macroscales of brain organization. These consistent observations point toward potential common organization principles where regions with a microscale architecture supportive of a larger computational load have more and stronger connections in the brain network on the macroscale. Conversely, disruptions observed on one organizational scale could modulate the other. First neuropsychiatric micro-macro comparisons in, among other conditions, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, have, for example, shown overlapping alterations across both scales. We give an overview of recent findings on associations between microscale and macroscale organization observed in the healthy brain, followed by a summary of microscale and macroscale findings reported in the context of brain disorders. We conclude with suggestions for future multiscale connectome comparisons linking multiple scales and modalities of organization and suggest how such comparisons could contribute to a more complete fundamental understanding of brain organization and associated disease-related alterations.
人脑是一个高度复杂的系统,具有多种微观细胞形态和宏观整体属性。它在多个尺度上工作,形成了一个高效的多模态信息处理和整合系统。研究反复表明,大脑组织的微观和宏观模式之间存在强烈的关联。这些一致的观察结果表明存在潜在的共同组织原则,即具有支持更大计算负荷的微观结构的区域在大脑网络的宏观尺度上具有更多和更强的连接。相反,在一个组织尺度上观察到的中断可能会调节另一个尺度。首先,在神经精神疾病(如阿尔茨海默病和精神分裂症)等多种情况下,对微观-宏观的首次神经心理学比较表明,两个尺度都存在重叠的改变。我们概述了健康大脑中观察到的微观和宏观组织之间关联的最新发现,然后总结了在大脑疾病背景下报告的微观和宏观发现。最后,我们提出了未来多尺度连接组比较的建议,将多个尺度和组织模式联系起来,并提出了此类比较如何有助于更全面地理解大脑组织及其相关疾病相关改变。
