• Abstract: Charting cortical growth trajectories is of paramount importance for understanding brain development. However, such analysis necessitates the collection of longitudinal data, which can be challenging due to subject dropouts and failed scans. In this paper, we will introduce a method for longitudinal prediction of cortical surfaces using a spatial graph convolutional neural network (GCNN), which extends conventional CNNs from Euclidean to curved manifolds. The proposed method is designed to model the cortical growth trajectories and jointly predict inner and outer cortical surfaces at multiple time points. Adopting a binary flag in loss calculation to deal with missing data, we fully utilize all available cortical surfaces for training our deep learning model, without requiring a complete collection of longitudinal data. Predicting the surfaces directly allows cortical attributes such as cortical thickness, curvature, and convexity to be computed for subsequent analysis. We will demonstrate with experimental results that our method is capable of capturing the nonlinearity of spatiotemporal cortical growth patterns and can predict cortical surfaces with improved accuracy.

  Current brain surface-based prediction models often overlook the variability of regional attributes at the cortical feature level. In this work, we consider the cortical surface mesh as a sparse graph and propose an interpretable prediction model-Surface Graph Neural Network (SurfGNN) SurfGNN employs topology-sampling learning (TSL) and region-specific learning (RSL) structures to manage individual cortical features at both lower and higher scales of the surface mesh.

• Addressing caveats of neural persistence with deep graph persistence [54.424983583720675]
  We find that the variance of network weights and spatial concentration of large weights are the main factors that impact neural persistence. We propose an extension of the filtration underlying neural persistence to the whole neural network instead of single layers. This yields our deep graph persistence measure, which implicitly incorporates persistent paths through the network and alleviates variance-related issues.

  Trajectory prediction is a crucial undertaking in understanding entity movement or human behavior from observed sequences. Current methods often assume that the observed sequences are complete while ignoring the potential for missing values. This paper presents a unified framework, the Graph-based Conditional Variational Recurrent Neural Network (GC-VRNN), which can perform trajectory imputation and prediction simultaneously.
