Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of neurodynamics simulation and regulation of brain diseases, and particularly relates to a neurodynamics simulation method, a regulation method, a device, and a medium for brain diseases. Background Art

[0002] The brain is a very complex system. In recent years, researchers have found that in many brain diseases, the anatomical structure and resting-state neural activities of the brain will change, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, autism, etc. Because its etiology and influencing factors are not very clear and the pathogenesis is still unknown, its diagnosis and treatment are difficult to substantially improve the disease outcome. In addition, the selection of targets in surgical treatment also mostly depends on clinical experience, and the individual differences and heterogeneity of the disease seriously affect the success rate and risk degree of the operation. Modeling the neural information interaction between neurons, neural clusters or brain regions through neurodynamics provides an important method for reconstructing the pathological process of brain diseases. Simulating and regulating specific brain regions of individual brain disease patients based on the pathological reconstruction model is of great significance for clinical auxiliary diagnosis and treatment, preoperative guidance, surgical prediction, etc.

[0003] The current mainstream methods of brain neurodynamics models include the Spiking Neuron Model, the Dynamic Mean Filed, the Neural Mass Model, the Wilson-Cowan, the Kuramoto model, etc., but their applications in the neurodynamics reconstruction and regulation of brain diseases are few, and the influence of the topological characteristics of the brain anatomical structure on the functional signal simulation is not considered, resulting in poor simulation effects of the final neurodynamics signals. In addition, in order to establish a detailed and physiologically characteristic simulation model, the current neurodynamics models model neurons, neural clusters or brain regions, with many model parameters and high computational complexity, which is not conducive to the pathological analysis and reconstruction of brain diseases, and it is difficult to achieve disease simulation regulation and auxiliary diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the neurodynamics models in the existing technologies and effectively simulate and regulate the neurodynamics signals of brain diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The basic idea of the present application is to fuse the topological features of the brain structure, extract the dynamic features and structural connection features that can understand the brain function, and establish a connection between the dynamic brain function and the relatively static anatomical structure based on the spatial autoregressive signal propagation mechanism, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of brain disease neurodynamics simulation, effectively reconstructing and regulating the neurodynamics signals of brain diseases, and making up for the problems of existing neurodynamics models with more parameters, high computational complexity, being not conducive to brain disease pathology simulation and analysis, and being difficult to achieve disease simulation regulation and auxiliary diagnosis and treatment. Embodiments

[0046] Such as Figure 1As shown, in order to construct an accurate neurodynamics simulation model for brain diseases, the inventor of the present invention has conducted in-depth research on the structural connections of the brain and proposed a neurodynamics simulation method for brain diseases, including the following steps:

[0047] S1. Obtain multimodal imaging data of brain disease patients, including T1 data, dMRI data, and fMRI data;

[0048] S2. Preprocess the multimodal imaging data to construct a human brain structural connection matrix SC for reflecting the brain structural connection situation and a human brain functional connection matrix FC for reflecting the brain functional activity situation. The human brain structural connection matrix SC represents the normalized fiber connection quantity between two brain regions i and j, and the human brain functional connection matrix FC is the Pearson correlation coefficient of the BOLD time series between two brain regions;

[0049] S3. Calculate a degree-coupling network based on the human brain structural connection matrix SC to describe the proportion of information transmitted from brain region i to brain region j;

[0050] S4. Establish a spatial autoregressive model based on the degree-coupling network to calculate the dynamic simulation BOLD signal of any brain region;

[0051] S5. Optimize the parameters of the degree-coupling network and the spatial autoregressive model to obtain optimal parameters. Among them, the similarity between the simulated functional connection strength between any two brain regions calculated based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and the dynamic simulation BOLD signal calculated under the optimal parameters and the actual human brain functional connection matrix FC is the highest.

[0052] Specifically, in step S1, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a special magnetic resonance imaging technique that can measure the diffusion motion of water molecules in biological tissues. In the brain, the diffusion direction of water molecules is closely related to the orientation of white matter fibers. Therefore, the trajectory of white matter fibers can be inferred from dMRI data. The acquisition of dMRI data requires setting appropriate parameters, such as the diffusion gradient direction (usually 64 or more directions), the diffusion sensitivity coefficient (b value, usually between 1000 - 3000 s / mm²), etc., to ensure that the diffusion information of water molecules can be accurately captured.

[0053] Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) indirectly reflects neural activity by detecting changes in blood oxygenation levels in the brain. When neuronal activity in a certain area of the brain increases, local blood flow increases, leading to a change in the ratio of oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin, which can be detected by fMRI. fMRI data acquisition requires setting appropriate parameters, such as repetition time (TR, usually between 2 - 3 seconds), echo time (TE), number of slices, etc., to ensure that the functional activity signals of the brain can be captured.

[0054] T1 data refers to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data obtained through T1-weighted imaging (T1WI). It is a commonly used sequence in MRI scans and is mainly used to obtain anatomical information of the brain. T1-weighted imaging mainly reflects the differences in the longitudinal relaxation time (T1 value) of tissues. In T1 images, different tissue types such as brain tissue (e.g., gray matter, white matter) and cerebrospinal fluid will show different signal intensities, where white matter usually has a stronger signal than gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid has a weaker signal. T1 data is mainly used for:

[0055] 1. Visualization of brain anatomy: Provide detailed images of high-resolution brain structures such as gray matter, white matter, and ventricles.

[0056] 2. Brain tissue segmentation: Divide the brain into different tissue types (such as gray matter, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid) and regions of interest (ROI) through image segmentation algorithms, providing a basis for subsequent functional and structural analysis.

[0057] 3. Spatial normalization: Register individual brain images to a standard space (such as the MNI template) for group analysis and comparison.

[0058] Preferably, the step of preprocessing the multi-modal image data includes: based on a brain partition template at the macro scale of the standard space, performing partition processing on the multi-modal image data to obtain multiple brain regions Nr, where Nr is the number of partitions. Usually, standard brain partition templates (such as the AAL template, Desikan-Killiany template, etc.) are used.

[0059] Among them, the human brain structural connection matrix SC represents the normalized fiber connection quantity between two brain regions i and j. The fiber connection quantity between brain regions can be obtained through fiber tracking of dMRI data. Fiber tracking is a computational method for estimating the orientation and connection of nerve fibers in the brain. The fiber tracking data can include the fiber connection quantity between two brain regions, and / or fiber connection density, and / or fiber connection probability. The network weights of the human brain structural connection matrix SC are normalized, and the normalization method is determined according to the weights of the human brain structural connection matrix SC. If the human brain structural connection matrix SC is the fiber connection quantity, log normalization is adopted. If the human brain structural connection matrix SC is the fiber connection density or fiber connection probability, min-max normalization is adopted.

[0060] The steps for constructing the human brain structural connection matrix SC for reflecting the brain structural connection and the human brain functional connection matrix FC for reflecting the brain functional activity specifically include: Based on the brain partition template Template at the macroscopic scale of the standard space (MNI), the structural connection network SC = W ij (i, j ∈ [1, Nr]) and the human brain functional connection network FC = fc ij (i, j ∈ [1, Nr]) of the brain disease patients are obtained respectively, where Nr represents the number of segmented brain regions. The SC is the normalized fiber connection quantity between two brain regions i and j, that is where Count ij represents the fiber quantity connecting brain regions i and j. The FC is the Pearson correlation coefficient of the BOLD time series between two brain regions i and j.

[0061] Preferably, the steps for calculating the degree coupling network based on the human brain structural connection matrix SC include: If the normalized fiber connection quantity between two brain regions i and j is not zero, the coupling strength between i and j is: Otherwise, , represents the coupling strength between i and j, S j represents the node degree of brain region j connected to brain region i; represents the sum of the node degrees of all nodes connected to brain region i. The parameter β describes the local loss factor of signal transmission from i to j, and its value range is from 0 to 1. The smaller the parameter β , the smaller the signal transmission loss in the network. Since the obtained functional network is an undirected network, the coupling strength between i and j is defined as and The average, i.e.: . To reduce the influence of weak connections or even spurious connections on the degree-coupled network, a certain proportion of weak connections in the structural network are removed before calculating the degree-coupled network PRv . Only strong connections are used to calculate the node degree and degree-coupling strength, highlighting the role of strong connections. It is verified on multiple existing databases PRv and setting it to 20% gives relatively stable results.

[0062] Preferably, the steps of establishing a spatial autoregressive model based on the degree-coupled network include: In the spatial autoregressive model, the dynamic simulation BOLD signal of the i-th brain region is affected by the signals of all brain regions connected to it, i.e.: , where y i represents the dynamic simulation BOLD signal of the i-th brain region, k is the spatial autoregressive coefficient, representing the global signal transmission index. The larger k is, the greater the global coupling strength between brain regions. The selection of k is between 0 and 1; V = ( v i) represents uncorrelated Gaussian white noise with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1; σ is the noise level, which can be set to 1; the parameters k and σ are used to balance the signals from other brain regions v and the endogenous noise signal of this brain region

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to reduce the computational complexity and improve the efficiency of model simulation, the dynamic simulation BOLD signal Y is further assumed to be a multivariate normal matrix with a mean of 0 and a variance of , where I represents the identity matrix, "T" is the transpose of the matrix, C is the degree-coupling matrix, and σ is the noise level, which can be set to 1.

[0064] Thus, the method for simulating the neurodynamics of brain diseases provided in this embodiment extracts dynamic and structural features that can understand brain functions by integrating the topological features of the brain structure. Based on the spatial autoregressive signal propagation mechanism, it establishes the connection between the dynamic brain function and the relatively static anatomical structure, which can effectively improve the accuracy of simulating the neurodynamics of brain diseases.

[0065] As Figure 2 shown, preferably, the steps of optimizing the parameters of the degree-coupled network and the spatial autoregressive model include:

[0066] S501. Parameter initialization processing, initializing the local loss factor β and the spatial autoregressive coefficient k, setting the length of the total simulated BOLD time series to L, and randomizing the Gaussian white noise of each brain region with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1; among them, the selection of the length of the simulated BOLD time series is usually not less than 2000 to enable the system to reach a balanced state and reduce the influence of noise.

[0067] S502. Calculate the degree-coupled network and the corresponding BOLD signals of the whole-brain dynamics simulation based on the initialized parameters;

[0068] S503. Calculate the simulated functional connectivity strength between any two brain regions based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and the BOLD signals of the whole-brain dynamics simulation; and calculate the similarity between the simulated functional connectivity strength and the actual human brain functional connectivity matrix FC; wherein, the simulated functional connectivity strength between any two brain regions is expressed as , is the simulated functional connectivity strength, and the superscript iter = 1 represents the first iteration, where X and Y represent the dynamic simulated BOLD sequences from brain regions i and j, X t and Y t represent the numerical values of the simulated BOLD time series of brain regions i and j at time t, and are the average values within the time series of L;

[0069] Among them, calculate the simulated functional connectivity and the similarity r with the actual human brain functional connectivity FC. The similarity is characterized by the Pearson correlation coefficient, that is , where A and B respectively represent the vectorized simulated functional connectivity matrix and the vectorized actual human brain functional connectivity matrix FC, num represents the element index value in the vectorized functional connectivity, and Lm represents the total number of elements in the vectorized functional connectivity matrix, and respectively represent the average values of the elements in the simulated functional connectivity and the actual functional connectivity. The larger the correlation coefficient r, the higher the similarity between the simulated functional connectivity and the actual human brain functional connectivity, and the better the simulation effect of the model on the neurodynamics of brain diseases.

[0070] S504. Adjust the local loss factor β and the spatial autoregressive coefficient k, and repeat steps S501 - S503 until the similarity between the simulated functional connectivity strength between any two brain regions calculated based on the BOLD signals of the dynamics simulation under the corresponding parameters and the actual human brain functional connectivity matrix FC is the highest. And obtain the optimal parameters (β opt , k opt ) and the optimal simulated functional connectivity FCs opt . To ensure the optimization result and improve the operation efficiency at the same time, the optimization algorithm used can be a neural network optimization algorithm, a genetic algorithm, a particle swarm optimization algorithm, etc.

[0071] Preferably, the step S503 includes:

[0072] Calculate the simulated functional connectivity strength between any two brain regions based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and the whole-brain dynamics simulation BOLD signal;

[0073] Repeat steps S501 and S502 for R times, and the finally obtained simulated functional connectivity strength is the average of the R simulated functional connectivity strengths;

[0074] Calculate the similarity between the finally obtained simulated functional connectivity strength and the actual human brain functional connectivity matrix FC.

[0075] The purpose of repeating steps S501 and S502 for R times is to reduce the influence of accidental factors and randomness. The generation of the simulated BOLD signal involves random Gaussian white noise. Each time of simulation, the specific implementation of the noise is different, which will lead to slight differences in the BOLD signal and functional connectivity strength of each simulation. By repeating the simulation R times and taking the average, these random fluctuations can be smoothed out, making the finally simulated functional connectivity closer to the real system behavior rather than the result under a specific random noise. And the result of a single simulation may be affected by accidental factors, while taking the average of multiple simulations can enhance the credibility of the result. In scientific research and engineering applications, it is usually hoped to verify the consistency and reliability of the result through multiple tests. In this application, by repeating the simulation R times, the stability of the simulated functional connectivity can be ensured, and the result deviation caused by accidental factors in a single simulation can be avoided.

[0076] This embodiment provides a simulation model based on the degree-coupled network and the spatial autoregressive model. This simulation method has few parameters and fast simulation speed, and can effectively improve the accuracy of brain disease neurodynamics simulation, making up for the problems of the current neurodynamics model with more parameters, high computational complexity, poor effect in brain disease neurodynamics reconstruction and simulation, being not conducive to brain disease pathology simulation and analysis, and being difficult to achieve disease simulation regulation and auxiliary diagnosis and treatment.

[0077] As Figure 3 shown, this embodiment provides a method for regulating brain disease neurodynamics, including:

[0078] S6. Establish a regulation model of the human brain structural connectivity matrix SC to simulate the impact of the change or resection of diseased brain regions on brain function; wherein, the regulation mechanism of the regulation model is realized by changing the connection weights of the human brain structural connectivity matrix SC;

[0079] S7. Regulate the connection weights of the human brain structural connectivity matrix SC of an individual brain disease patient;

[0080] S8. Based on the regulated human brain structural connection matrix SC, calculate the corresponding degree-coupling network and simulated neurodynamic BOLD signals according to the optimal parameters obtained by the neurodynamic simulation method of brain diseases described in any one of the above, and calculate the simulated functional connection strength between any two regulated brain regions based on the Pearson correlation coefficient;

[0081] S9. Based on the simulated functional connection strength, extract network topological characteristics to reflect the regulated brain function; and calculate the feature difference E between the topological characteristics of this simulated functional network and the topological characteristics of the healthy subject's brain functional network. The feature difference E is one or more of the small-world attribute difference, modularity attribute difference, global efficiency difference, and topological feature difference;

[0082] S10. Select the regulated brain region, adjust the regulation parameters of the regulation model, and repeat steps S7 - S9 until the feature difference E is reduced to a certain set value.

[0083] Among them, the topological characteristics of the healthy subject's brain functional network can be obtained in the following way:

[0084] Obtain the fMRI data of multiple healthy subjects, and perform data preprocessing to obtain the BOLD signals and human brain functional connection matrix FC of each healthy subject;

[0085] Extract the topological characteristics of the human brain functional connection matrix of healthy subjects to reflect brain function, including but not limited to small-world attributes, modularity attributes, global efficiency, shortest path length, clustering coefficient, centrality; among them, the topological characteristics of the human brain functional connection matrix are the average of the topological characteristics of all healthy subjects.

[0086] Preferably, the steps for regulating the connection weights of the human brain structural connection matrix SC of an individual brain disease patient include:

[0087] If regulating the i-th brain region, then virtually perturb the connection weights SC ij (j ∈ [1, Nr]) of the i-th brain region and other brain regions, set the perturbation coefficient to f , set the bias to θ, then the regulated human brain structural connection matrix is expressed as (j ∈ [1, Nr]), where, represents the regulated human brain structural connection matrix, and SC ij represents the connection weights between the i-th brain region and other brain regions. The regulation methods include but are not limited to the following:

[0088] a. If f > 1, θ > 0, then , simulate the repair of the damaged brain region i of the brain disease patient by enhancing the connection strength with other brain regions;

[0089] b. If f < 0 and θ = 0, then , the influence of brain region i on other brain regions is simulated to be weakened by reducing the connection strength with other brain regions;

[0090] c. If SC ij = 0 and θ > 0, then , then the reconstruction of the interrupted structural connection is simulated;

[0091] d. If f = 0 and θ = 0, then = 0 (j ϵ [1, Nr]), and the resection of brain region i is simulated by setting the connection strength between brain region i and all other brain regions to 0. The regulation of the structural connection can be carried out on a single brain region or on multiple brain regions simultaneously.

[0095] As Figure 4 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a brain disease neurodynamics simulation and regulation device based on a degree-coupling spatial autoregressive model. The device includes:

[0096] A first acquisition module, configured to collect multi-modal image data of a brain disease patient, including T1 data, dMRI data, and fMRI data.

[0097] A first processing module, configured to preprocess the acquired T1 data, dMRI data, and fMRI data based on neuroimage processing software, and obtain fiber tracking data reflecting the connection relationship between brain anatomical regions and BOLD signals reflecting the dynamic functional changes of the brain.

[0098] A second processing module, configured to respectively obtain the structural connection network SC = W ij (i, j ϵ [1, Nr]) and the human brain functional connection network FC = fc ij (i, j ϵ [1, Nr]) of the brain disease patient based on the brain partition template Template at the macroscopic scale of the standard space (MNI), where Nr represents the number of segmented brain regions, and the SC is the normalized fiber connection number between two brain regions i and j, that is , where Count ij represents the number of fibers connecting brain regions i and j. The FC is the Pearson correlation coefficient of the BOLD time series between pairwise brain regions i and j.

[0099] The third processing module is used to calculate the degree coupling network based on the structural connection network, describing the proportion of information transmitted from brain region i to brain region j. If w ij > 0, the coupling strength between i and j is: , otherwise . S j represents the number of brain regions j connected to brain region i, that is, the node degree; represents the sum of the degrees of all nodes connected to brain region i, and the parameter β describes the local loss factor of signal transmission from i to j, with a value range of 0 to 1. The smaller the parameter β , the smaller the signal transmission loss in the network. Since the obtained functional network is an undirected network, the coupling strength between i and j is defined as and average, that is: . To reduce the influence of weak connections or even spurious connections on the degree coupling network, a certain proportion PRv of weak connections in the structural network is removed before calculating the degree coupling network, and only strong connections are used to calculate the node degree and degree coupling strength, highlighting the role of strong connections. PRv is set to 20% (verified on multiple existing databases, PRv setting it to 20% has relatively stable effects).

[0100] The fourth processing module is used to establish a spatial autoregressive model based on the degree coupling network and calculate the dynamic simulation BOLD signal Y = (y i ). In the spatial autoregressive model, the dynamic signal of brain region i is affected by the signals of all brain regions connected to it, that is: , where y i represents the dynamic simulation BOLD signal of brain region i, k is the spatial autoregressive coefficient, representing the global signal transmission index. The larger k is, the greater the global coupling strength between brain regions. The selection of k is between 0 and 1; V = ([[]] v i) represents uncorrelated Gaussian white noise with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1; σ is the noise level, which can be set to 1; the parameters k and σ are used to balance the signal from other brain regions v i.

[0101] Further, in this embodiment, to reduce the computational complexity and improve the efficiency of model simulation, the kinetic simulation BOLD signal Y is further assumed to be a multivariate normal matrix with a mean of 0 and a variance of , where I represents the identity matrix, "T" is the transpose of the matrix, C is the degree coupling matrix, and σ is the noise level, which can be set to 1.

[0102] A simulation module for initializing the parameters (β, k) = (0.01, 0.01) and calculating the degree coupling network . Set the length of the total simulated BOLD time series to L, randomize the Gaussian white noise of each brain region with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1, and calculate the kinetic BOLD signal of the simulated whole brain . The selection of the length of the simulated BOLD time series is usually not less than 2000 to enable the system to reach an equilibrium state and reduce the influence of noise.

And calculate the similarity r between the final simulated functional connection and the actual human brain functional connection FC. The similarity is characterized by the Pearson correlation coefficient, that is , where A and B represent the vectorized simulated functional connection matrix and the vectorized actual human brain functional connection matrix FC, num represents the element index value in the vectorized functional connection, Lm represents the total number of elements in the vectorized functional connection matrix, and represent the averages of the elements in the simulated functional connection and the actual functional connection respectively. The larger the correlation coefficient r, the higher the similarity between the simulated functional connection and the actual human brain functional connection, and the better the simulation effect of the model on the neurodynamics of brain diseases.

[0105] A second loop module: adjust the parameters (β, k), repeat steps S7 - S9 to obtain the simulated BOLD signal and simulated functional connection of brain disease patients until the similarity between the simulated functional connection and the actual functional connection reaches the optimum, and obtain the optimal parameters (β opt , k optand optimal simulation function connected to FCs opt .

[0113] g. If SC ij = 0 and θ > 0, then , then the reconstruction of the interrupted structural connection is simulated;

[0114] If f = 0 and θ = 0, then = 0 (j ∈ [1, Nr]), and the resection of brain region i is simulated by setting the connection strength between brain region i and all other brain regions to 0. The regulation of the structural connection can be the regulation of a single brain region or the simultaneous regulation of multiple brain regions.
