In this paper we present a new localization method SMS-LORETA (Simultaneous Multiple Sources- Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography), capable to locate efficiently multiple simultaneous sources. The new method overcomes some of the drawbacks of sLORETA (standardized Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography). The key idea of the new method is the iterative search for current dipoles, harnessing the low error single source localization performance of sLORETA. An evaluation of the new method by simulation has been enclosed.

In this paper the method and performance data of Boundary Element Method (BEM)-based SMS-LORETA (Simultaneous Multiple Sources LORETA) are presented. According to these data the method is capable of locating efficiently multiple simultaneously active neural sources from scalp potential topographies automatically. BEM-based SMS-LORETA is a procedure to fully interpret sLORETA solutions, i.e., with a given scalp potential distribution it gives the number of identifiable sources as well as their strength and orientation. Performance data result from numerous analyses of simulated noise-free and noise-contaminated potential distributions (topographies) that have been obtained by means of BEM-based forward solutions, where one, two or three simultaneously active dipoles were randomly chosen regarding their positions and polarity.
Multi-modal brain functional connectivity (FC) data have shown great potential for providing insights into individual variations in behavioral and cognitive traits. The joint learning of multi-modal imaging data can utilize the intrinsic association, and thus can boost the learning performance. Although several multi-task based learning models have already been proposed by viewing the feature learning on each modality as one task, most of them ignore the geometric structure information inherent in the modalities, which may play an important role in extracting discriminative features. In this paper, we propose a new manifold regularized multi-task learning model by simultaneously considering between-subject and between-modality relationships. Besides employing a group-sparsity regularizer to jointly select a few common features across multiple tasks (modalities), we design a novel manifold regularizer to preserve the structure information both within and between modalities in our model. This will make our model more adaptive for realistic data analysis. Our model is then validated on the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort dataset, where we regard our modalities as functional MRI (fMRI) data collected under two paradigms. Specifically, we conduct experimental studies on fMRI based FC network data in two task conditions for intelligence quotient (IQ) prediction. The results demonstrate that our proposed model can not only achieve improved prediction performance, but also yield a set of IQ-relevant biomarkers.
In the past two decades, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been used to relate neuronal network activity to cognitive processing and behaviour. Recently this approach has been augmented by algorithms that allow us to infer causal links betwee n component populations of neuronal networks. Multiple inference procedures have been proposed to approach this research question but so far, each method has limitations when it comes to establishing whole-brain connectivity patterns. In this work, we discuss eight ways to infer causality in fMRI research: Bayesian Nets, Dynamical Causal Modelling, Granger Causality, Likelihood Ratios, LiNGAM, Patels Tau, Structural Equation Modelling, and Transfer Entropy. We finish with formulating some recommendations for the future directions in this area.
Three major biomarkers: beta-amyloid (A), pathologic tau (T), and neurodegeneration (N), are recognized as valid proxies for neuropathologic changes of Alzheimers disease. While there are extensive studies on cerebrospinal fluids biomarkers (amyloid, tau), the spatial propagation pattern across brain is missing and their interactive mechanisms with neurodegeneration are still unclear. To this end, we aim to analyze the spatiotemporal associations between ATN biomarkers using large-scale neuroimaging data. We first investigate the temporal appearances of amyloid plaques, tau tangles, and neuronal loss by modeling the longitudinal transition trajectories. Second, we propose linear mixed-effects models to quantify the pathological interactions and propagation of ATN biomarkers at each brain region. Our analysis of the current data shows that there exists a temporal latency in the build-up of amyloid to the onset of tau pathology and neurodegeneration. The propagation pattern of amyloid can be characterized by its diffusion along the topological brain network. Our models provide sufficient evidence that the progression of pathological tau and neurodegeneration share a strong regional association, which is different from amyloid.
Progress in real-time, simultaneous in vivo detection of multiple neurotransmitters will help accelerate advances in neuroscience research. The need for development of probes capable of stable electrochemical detection of rapid neurotransmitter fluct uations with high sensitivity and selectivity and sub-second temporal resolution has, therefore, become compelling. Additionally, a higher spatial resolution multi-channel capability is required to capture the complex neurotransmission dynamics across different brain regions. These research needs have inspired the introduction of glassy carbon (GC) microelectrode arrays on flexible polymer substrates through carbon MEMS (C-MEMS) microfabrication process followed by a novel pattern transfer technique. These implantable GC microelectrodes offer unique advantages in electrochemical detection of electroactive neurotransmitters through the presence of active carboxyl, carbonyl, and hydroxyl functional groups. In addition, they offer fast electron transfer kinetics, capacitive electrochemical behavior, and wide electrochemical window. Here, we combine the use of these GC microelectrodes with the fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) technique to optimize the co-detection of dopamine and serotonin in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that using optimized FSCV triangular waveform at scan rates lower than 700 V/s and holding and switching at potentials of 0.4 and 1V respectively, it is possible to discriminate voltage reduction and oxidation peaks of serotonin and dopamine, with serotonin contributing distinct multiple oxidation peaks. Taken together, our results present a compelling case for a carbon-based MEA platform rich with active functional groups that allows for repeatable and stable detection of electroactive multiple neurotransmitters at concentrations as low as 10 nM
