Identifying cell-type-specific enhancers is critical for developing genetic tools to study the mammalian brain. We organized the "Brain Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) Challenge: Predicting Functional Cell Type-Specific Enhancers from Cross-Sp...
BACKGROUND: Cortical morphological abnormalities in schizophrenia (SCZ), major depressive disorder (MDD), and bipolar disorder (BD) have been identified in past research. However, their potential as objective biomarkers to differentiate these disorde...
Huntington's Disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding huntingtin (HTT). While normal HTT function appears impacted by the mutation, the specific pathways unique to CAG repeat expansion versus loss of normal function are u...
Exploring natural or pharmacologically induced brain dynamics, such as sleep, wakefulness, or anesthesia, provides rich functional models for studying brain states. These models allow detailed examination of unique spatiotemporal neural activity patt...
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) might impact the complexity of cerebral cortex, and the underlying biological mechanisms responsible for cortical changes in the AD cortex remain unclear.

The electrophysiological findings have shown that epileptiform spikes triggering sleep spindles within 1[Formula: see text]s across multiple channels are commonly observed during sleep in focal epilepsy (FE). Such spatio-temporal couplings of spikes ...
Neurons in cortical networks are very sparsely connected; even neurons whose axons and dendrites overlap are highly unlikely to form a synaptic connection. What is the relevance of such sparse connectivity for a network's function? Surprisingly, it h...
Examining the altered arrangement and patterning of sulcal folds offers insights into the mechanisms of neurodevelopmental differences in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Previous sulcal pattern analysis used spectral graph matching of sulcal ...
Associative learning tests are cognitive assessments that evaluate the ability of individuals to learn and remember relationships between pairs of stimuli. The Rutgers Acquired Equivalence Test (RAET) is an associative learning test that utilizes ima...
Constructing task-state large-scale brain networks can enhance our understanding of the organization of brain functions during cognitive tasks. The primary goal of brain network partitioning is to cluster functionally homogeneous brain regions. Howev...
