Silica-Snc: From Streamlines To Networks

Show abstract
Whole brain tractography contains rich trajectory-level information about white matter organization, yet conventional structural connectomes capture only part of it. We introduce Structural Network Coupling (SNC), a network representation enabled by SILICA (Streamline Independent Component Analysis). SILICA decomposes tractography into structural source components and their streamline-specific loading profiles, while SNC characterizes relationships among these components through their shared trajectory expression. The resulting component-level network retains direct correspondence to the underlying white-matter pathways and supports network visualization and graph-based analysis. SNC produced anatomically interpretable coupling among trajectory-resolved white-matter components and revealed a highly organized group architecture that independently recapitulated commissural, projection, and association systems. It also showed strong hemispheric segregation and structured cross-system coupling, and was highly stable across split-half samples. SNC extends SILICA from trajectory decomposition to network-level organization and provides a flexible framework for future structural and multimodal network analysis.

"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.
