Topological Properties of the Structural Brain Network in Autism via ϵ-Neighbor Method

Conclusion: The brain networks constructed using the proposed method are considered as more realistic than a parcellation method with respect to the stability of connectedness. We found that subjects with autism showed the abnormal characteristics in the brain networks. These results demonstrate that the proposed method may provide new insights to analysis in the structural brain network. Significance: We proposed the novel brain network construction method to overcome the shortcoming in the existing parcellation method.
