Sentences with phrase «of subnetworks»

The cortex is highly complex and made up of many densely interconnected structures, but when you strip it down, is organized into a small number of subnetworks,» said senior author Hongwei Dong of the USC Institute for Neuroimaging and Informatics.

Not exact matches

Several other structures located along the side of the brain form two lateral subnetworks, one of which potentially serves to regulate the internal status of the body (i.e. taste, hunger, visceral information) and the other as a «mega-integration» subnetwork that allows the interaction of information from nearly the entire cortex.

The researchers identified the brain subnetworks based on their high degree of interconnectivity — though relatively independent, several structures provide communication routes through which the subnetworks interact.

It also allowed them to reliably see patterns: the seemingly inscrutable mass of connections in the cerebral cortex is highly organized, consisting of eight distinct subnetworks that are relatively segregated.

«The systematic and comprehensive manner in which the data were collected lent itself to a detailed analysis through which these subnetworks emerged,» explained co-lead author Houri Hintiryan of the USC Laboratory of Neuro Imaging.

Two other subnetworks are made up of structures located along the midline of the cerebral cortex.

These medial subnetworks seem devoted to the integration of visual, auditory and somatic sensory information, according to the study.

Four of the eight identified subnetworks in the mouse cortex relate to sensation and movement of the body, what the researchers dub somatic sensorimotor.

How these subnetworks interact will provide a crucial baseline from which to better understand diseases of «disconnection» such as autism and Alzheimer's Disease, in which the manifestations of symptoms are potentially a result of disordered or damaged connections.

Researchers have identified eight distinct neural subnetworks that together form the connectivity infrastructure of the mammalian cortex, the part of the brain involved in higher - order functions such as cognition, emotion and consciousness.

The web of complements to a good forms a mutually self - reinforcing and cross-reinforcing subnetwork that enhances its own economic growth.

UNC scientists conduct seminal experiments to unveil how early - in - life visual experiences — simply trying to see — sculpt a particular subnetwork of brain circuitry we need in order to see properly.

As we have done to elucidate complex diseases, 6 for each projection on the blood causal network structure, we identified the largest connected subnetworks comprising genes directly connected to the projected module genes, resulting in the identification of relaxation - and meditation - specific subnetworks (Figure 3).

The subnetwork depicted is the largest connected subgraph comprising nodes within a path length of one of the projected nodes.

Of the 914 genes in the brown, pink, purple and red modules that map to the Bayesian network, 648 are in the 924 - gene vacation subnetwork, a 6.1-fold enrichment over what would be expected by chance (Fisher exact test P < 1e − 300).

Taken together with recent observations that the DMN contains functionally heterogeneous subdivisions, it is presently unclear whether these seeds map to different DMN subnetworks, whose patterns of anti-correlation may differ.

Here, we separately investigated the modulation of 3 default mode subnetworks, as identified with group independent component analysis, by comparing Alzheimer's disease patients to healthy controls and by assessing connectivity changes over time.

In this study, they examined anti-correlations of different subnetworks within the DMN during rest using both seed - based and point process analyses, and discovered that: (1) the ventral branch of the DMN (vDMN) yielded significantly weaker anti-correlations than that associated with the dorsal branch of the DMN (dDMN); (2) vDMN anti-correlations introduced by GSR were distinct from dDMN anti-correlations; (3) PCC / precuneus seeds employed by earlier studies mapped to different DMN subnetworks, which may explain some of the inconsistency (in addition to preprocessing steps) in the reported DMN anti-correlations.

We favor the novel term TAE over task - activation network because the literature increasingly supports a separation of this TAE into at least two distinct subnetworks.

A sharded network would be partitioned into different subnetworks, or shards, with transactions processed only by the subset of nodes in a shard.
