• Abstract: Understanding how certain brain regions relate to a specific neurological disorder has been an important area of neuroimaging research. A promising approach to identify the salient regions is using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which can be used to analyze graph structured data, e.g. brain networks constructed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We propose an interpretable GNN framework with a novel salient region selection mechanism to determine neurological brain biomarkers associated with disorders. Specifically, we design novel regularized pooling layers that highlight salient regions of interests (ROIs) so that we can infer which ROIs are important to identify a certain disease based on the node pooling scores calculated by the pooling layers. Our proposed framework, Pooling Regularized-GNN (PR-GNN), encourages reasonable ROI-selection and provides flexibility to preserve either individual- or group-level patterns. We apply the PR-GNN framework on a Biopoint Autism Spectral Disorder (ASD) fMRI dataset. We investigate different choices of the hyperparameters and show that PR-GNN outperforms baseline methods in terms of classification accuracy. The salient ROI detection results show high correspondence with the previous neuroimaging-derived biomarkers for ASD.

We suggest establishing new standards that are based on objective evaluation metrics to determine the robustness of these potential biomarkers.

• DBGDGM: Dynamic Brain Graph Deep Generative Model [63.23390833353625]
  Graphs are a natural representation of brain activity derived from functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) data. It is well known that clusters of anatomical brain regions, known as functional connectivity networks (FCNs), encode temporal relationships which can serve as useful biomarkers for understanding brain function and dysfunction. Previous works, however, ignore the temporal dynamics of the brain and focus on static graphs. We propose a dynamic brain graph deep generative model (DBGDGM) which simultaneously clusters brain regions into temporally evolving communities and learns dynamic unsupervised node embeddings.
