Graph Neural Networks for Neurological Disorders

This book represents a unique and comprehensive resource for understanding the intersection of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and neurology. By focusing on graph neural networks (GNNs), the book addresses a crucial gap in the current literature, providing valuable insights into the analysis and interpretation of complex brain networks and neurological data. Intended for a diverse audience, including clinicians, scientists, researchers, and students, it demystifies the complexities of GNNs and their applications in neurology. For clinicians and healthcare practitioners, the book illustrates how GNNs can enhance diagnostic accuracy, inform personalized treatment plans and predict disease progression. This leads to improved patient outcomes and a deeper understanding of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Researchers will find the book particularly valuable as it delves into the methodologies and technical aspects of GNNs, showcasing their ability to handle diverse data sources including genetic, imaging and clinical information. By integrating these datasets, GNNs reveal hidden patterns and biomarkers, offering new avenues for research and potential therapeutic targets.
