Mapping morphological cortical networks with joint probability distributions from multiple morphological features

Morphological features sourced from structural magnetic resonance imaging can be used to infer human brain connectivity. Although integrating different morphological features may theoretically be beneficial for obtaining more precise morphological connectivity networks (MCNs), the empirical evidence to support this supposition is scarce. Moreover, the incorporation of different morphological features remains an open question. In this study, we proposed a method to construct cortical MCNs based on multiple morphological features. Specifically, we adopted a multi-dimensional kernel density estimation algorithm to fit regional joint probability distributions (PDs) from different combinations of four morphological features, and estimated inter-regional similarity in the joint PDs via Jensen-Shannon divergence. We evaluated the method by comparing the resultant MCNs with those built based on different single morphological …
