New Graphs at the braingraph.org Website for Studying the Aging Brain Circuitry

원문 초록

Human braingraphs or connectomes are widely studied in the last decade to understand the structural and functional properties of our brain. In the last several years our research group has computed and deposited thousands of human braingraphs to the braingraph.org site, by applying public structural (diffusion) MRI data from young and healthy subjects. Here we describe a recent addition to the {\tt braingraph.org} site, which contains connectomes from healthy and demented subjects between 42 and 95 years of age, based on the public release of the OASIS-3 dataset. The diffusion MRI data was processed with the Connectome Mapper Toolkit v.3.1. We believe that the new addition to the braingraph.org site will become a useful resource for enlightening the aging circuitry of the human brain in healthy and diseased subjects, including those with Alzheimer's disease in several stages.
