Synopsis

A comprehensive assessment of multiple resting-state networks is still lacking and the characterization of their excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance is an open field of research. In this exploratory work we performed a first characterization of the E/I balance in resting-state networks (visual, somatomotor, attention, limbic, frontoparietal, DMN) both in healthy and neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s Disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) taking advantage of a Virtual Brain based approach. Our results provided a new strategy to simultaneously characterize multiple networks at single-subject level, deepening their E/I balance and opening new perspectives for biomarkers research.
