Most connectivity-based parcellations of rsfMRI are synthesized from the dense connectome. However, the mean parcel signal is typically used for data reduction prior to network analysis. This results in representative parcel time series that are poorly correlated to their member voxels (poor parcel cohesion). We propose an adjacency-constrained, agglomerative hierarchical clustering framework that uses parcel cohesion as a linkage criteria. This results in parcels with mean time series that are significantly more representative of their member voxels. This parcellation is easily interpretable and well-suited for downstream analyses.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
