Brain tumors can induce pathological changes in neuronal dynamics both on a local and global level. Here, we use a whole-brain modeling approach to investigate these pathological alterations in neuronal activity. By fitting a Hopf whole-brain model to empirical functional connectivity, we demonstrate that phase correlations are largely determined by the ratio of interregional coupling strength and intraregional excitability. Furthermore, we observe considerable differences in interregional-versus-intraregional dynamics between glioma patients and healthy controls, both on an individual and population-based level. In particular, we show that local tumor pathology induces shifts in the global brain dynamics by promoting the contribution of interregional interactions. Our approach demonstrates that whole-brain models provide valuable insights for understanding glioma-associated alterations in functional connectivity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
