Connectomics is a neuroscience paradigm focused on noninvasively mapping highly intricate and organized networks of neurons. The advent of neuroimaging has led to extensive mapping of the brain functional and structural connectome on a macroscale level through modalities such as functional and diffusion MRI. In parallel, the healthcare field has witnessed a surge in the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence for diagnostics, especially in imaging. While reviews covering machine learn ing and macroscale connectomics exist for specific disorders, none provide an overview that captures their evolving role, especially through the lens of clinical application and translation. The applications include understanding disorders, classification, identifying neuroimaging biomarkers, assessing severity, predicting outcomes and intervention response, identifying potential targets for brain stimulation, and evaluating the effects of stimulation intervention on the brain and connectome mapping in patients before neurosurgery. The covered studies span neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurological disorders. Along with applications, the review provides a brief of common ML methods to set context. Conjointly, limitations in ML studies within connectomics and strategies to mitigate them have been covered.
连接组学是一种神经科学范式,专注于无创性映射高度复杂和有组织的神经元网络。神经影像学的出现使得通过功能磁共振成像和弥散磁共振成像等模态在宏观尺度上对大脑功能和结构连接组进行了广泛的映射。与此同时,医疗保健领域见证了机器学习和人工智能在诊断中的应用呈指数式增长,尤其是在影像学方面。虽然有针对特定疾病的综述涵盖了机器学习和宏观连接组学,但没有一篇综述能全面介绍它们的发展作用,尤其是从临床应用和转化的角度来看。其应用包括了解疾病、分类、识别神经影像学生物标志物、评估严重程度、预测结果和干预反应、识别脑刺激的潜在靶点,以及在神经外科手术前评估刺激干预对大脑和连接组映射的影响。所涵盖的研究跨越了神经退行性、神经发育性、神经精神性和神经遗传性疾病。除了应用,本综述还简要介绍了常见的机器学习方法以提供背景信息。同时,还介绍了连接组学中机器学习研究的局限性及其缓解策略。
