Anxiety Disorder Identification with Biomarker Detection through Subspace-Enhanced Hypergraph Neural Network

Anxiety Disorder Identification and Biomarker Detection Based on Subspace-Enhanced Hypergraph Neural Network Academic Background Anxiety Disorders (ADs) are prevalent mental health issues globally, affecting approximately 7.3% of the population. Patients with anxiety disorders typically exhibit excessive fear, worry, and related behavioral abnormal...

Temporal Autocorrelation is Predictive of Age—An Extensive MEG Time-Series Analysis

Brain Age Prediction Study Based on MEG Time Series Academic Background With the extension of human lifespan, understanding changes in the brain throughout the life cycle has become increasingly important. The structure and function of the brain undergo significant changes with age, which not only affect cognitive functions but are also closely rel...

Deep Learning to Quantify the Pace of Brain Aging in Relation to Neurocognitive Changes

As the global aging problem intensifies, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s Disease, AD) is increasing year by year. Brain aging (Brain Aging, BA) is one of the significant risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, but it does not completely align with chronological age (Chronological Age, CA). Traditional methods f...
