Neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), are characterized by comorbidity and heterogeneity. Identifying distinct subtypes within these disorders can illuminate the underlying neurobiological and clinical characteristics, paving the way for more tailored treatments. We adopted a novel transdiagnostic approach across ADHD and ASD, using cutting-edge contrastive graph machine learning to determine subtypes based on brain network connectivity as revealed by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Our approach identified two generalizable subtypes characterized by robust and distinct functional connectivity patterns, prominently within the frontoparietal control network and the somatomotor network. These subtypes exhibited pronounced differences in major cognitive and behavioural measures. We further demonstrated the generalizability of these subtypes using data collected from independent study sites. Our data-driven approach provides a novel solution for parsing biological heterogeneity in neurodevelopmental disorders.

"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.
