Stable and predictive brain networks of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is associated with disrupted brain activity and altered connections between the brain regions that control our thoughts and emotions. Recent advances in neuroimaging allow us to identify the "functional connectivity" of the brain, and thereby identify patterns of altered activity that may allow us to better predict or diagnose mental illness including schizophrenia. Serdar Dursun and collaborators are using machine learning approaches to develop a predictive model based on functional network feature patterns based on whole-brain functional imaging.
