New Insights for New Therapies

Advanced neuroimaging analysis techniques offer a cutting-edge approach to extracting and interpreting imaging biomarkers from both functional and structural brain images. This innovation is unlocking deeper insights into neuropsychiatric disorders, enabling a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of these complex conditions. By quantifying specific characteristics of the brain, such as region-specific volume and connectivity between diverse areas, these biomarkers serve as critical tools in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy planning. This precise approach to brain analysis represents a paradigm shift in the study of neuropsychiatric disorders, fostering more targeted interventions and personalized care.

Patterns of Functional Connectivity

This tool analyzes resting state functional connectivity to understand how brain regions are correlated. It measures how diseases may disrupt information exchange between specific regions or affect functional networks. (26, 27, 28)

Grey Matter Volume and Thickness

These tools measure brain morphology and volumes of different regions. It can be used to study whether a particular psychiatric disease may target specific brain regions (or their connections which might also result in a change on their morphology).(29)

Patterns of Whole Brain Structural Connectivity

Graph theoretical analysis of structural connectivity MRI reveals highly connected hubs in brain networks, crucial for network functioning. This topological insight enhances understanding of the pathophysiology of psychiatric diseases like schizophrenia, affecting specific local or global brain networks. (30, 31, 32)
