A new neuroimaging dimension is currently being adopted. The structural connectome reveals macroscale white matter connectivity of the human brain, providing insights into brain networks organization. Connectomics (analysis of the connectome) has potential for elucidating aberrant networks (eg, in congenital brain malformations, especially axonal pathfinding disorders). Connectomics provides a powerful set of network measures, which can serve as noninvasive biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment response of children. We discuss the principles of connectome reconstruction and visualization of the pediatric structural connectome using current state-of-the-art neuroimaging and postprocessing techniques, and we describe potential connectomics applications to study brain malformations.
目前正在采用一种新的神经影像学维度。结构连接组学揭示了人类大脑的宏观白质连接,为大脑网络组织提供了深入的了解。连接组学(连接组的分析)有可能阐明异常网络(例如,在先天性脑畸形中,特别是轴突寻径障碍)。连接组学提供了一组强大的网络测量方法,可以作为儿童诊断、预后和治疗反应的无创生物标志物。我们讨论了使用当前最先进的神经影像学和后处理技术重建和可视化儿科结构连接组的原理,并描述了连接组学在研究脑畸形方面的潜在应用。
