Optimizing Differential Identifiability Improves Connectome Predictive Modeling of Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease
Functional connectivity, as estimated using resting state fMRI, has shown potential in bridging the gap between pathophysiology and cognition. However, clinical use of functional connectivity biomarkers is impeded by unreliable estimates of individual functional connectomes and lack of generalizability of models predicting cognitive outcomes from connectivity. To address these issues, we combine the frameworks of connectome predictive modeling and differential identifiability. Using the combined framework, we show that enhancing the individual fingerprint of resting state functional connectomes leads to robust identification of functional networks associated to cognitive outcomes and also improves prediction of cognitive outcomes from functional connectomes. Using a comprehensive spectrum of cognitive outcomes associated to Alzheimer's disease, we identify and characterize functional networks associated to specific cognitive deficits exhibited in Alzheimer's disease. This combined framework is an important step in making individual level predictions of cognition from resting state functional connectomes and in understanding the relationship between cognition and connectivity.

Uncovering differential identifiability in network properties of human brain functional connectomes
The Identifiability Framework (If) has been shown to improve differential identifiability (reliability across-sessions and -sites, and differentiability across-subjects) of functional connectomes for a variety of fMRI ta…
Uncovering Multi-Site Identifiability Based on Resting-State Functional Connectomes
Multi-site studies are becoming important to increase statistical power, enhance generalizability, and to improve the likelihood of pooling relevant subgroups together activities. Even with harmonized imaging sequences, …
Functional ConnectivityFunctional Connectome Fingerprint Gradients in Young Adults
The assessment of brain fingerprints has emerged in the recent years as an important tool to study individual differences and to infer quality of neuroimaging datasets. Studies so far have mainly focused on connectivity …
The quest for identifiability in human functional connectomes
The evaluation of the individual 'fingerprint' of a human functional connectome (FC) is becoming a promising avenue for neuroscientific research, due to its enormous potential inherent to drawing single subject inference…
Functional ConnectivityTowards Subject and Diagnostic Identifiability in the Alzheimer's Disease Spectrum based on Functional Connectomes
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the only major cause of mortality in the world without an effective disease modifying treatment. Evidence supporting the so called disconnection hypothesis suggests that functional connectivit…
