INTRODUCTION: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a clinical syndrome of neurodegenerative origin with 3 main variants: non-fluent, semantic, and logopenic. However, there is some controversy about the existence of additional subtypes. Our aim was t...
Reconstruction of accurate cortical surfaces without topological errors (i.e., handles and holes) from infant brain MR images is very important in early brain development studies. However, infant brain MR images typically suffer extremely low tissue ...
In this paper, we present a new multi-objective optimization approach for segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the human brain. The proposed algorithm not only takes advantages but also solves major drawbacks of two well-known compleme...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Brain tumor occurs because of anomalous development of cells. It is one of the major reasons of death in adults around the globe. Millions of deaths can be prevented through early detection of brain tumor. Earlier brain tumo...
Computer-aided diagnosis has become a widely-used auxiliary tool for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we developed an extreme learning machine (ELM) model to discriminate between patients with AD and normal controls (NCs) usi...

The auditory system converts the physical properties of a sound waveform to neural activities and processes them for recognition. During the process, the tuning to amplitude modulation (AM) is successively transformed by a cascade of brain regions. T...
Neuropathologists assess vast brain areas to identify diverse and subtly-differentiated morphologies. Standard semi-quantitative scoring approaches, however, are coarse-grained and lack precise neuroanatomic localization. We report a proof-of-concept...
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of a data-driven, model-based classification approach to discriminate idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) patients from healthy controls (HC) based on between-network connectivity in whole-brain resting-state functional MRI (rs-...
Quantifying causal (effective) interactions between different brain regions are very important in neuroscience research. Many conventional methods estimate effective connectivity based on linear models. However, using linear connectivity models may o...
