Data-driven modeling of spatiotemporal dynamics using multimodal imaging data

by Chunyan Li, Yutong Mao, Xiao Liu, Wenrui Hao Understanding how biological systems evolve across space and time remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when dynamic processes vary substantially across individuals. Patient-specific dynamical parameters reveal distinct patterns of biological progression and provide improved prediction of future cognitive decline compared with standard biomarkers.

The useful part

by Chunyan Li, Yutong Mao, Xiao Liu, Wenrui Hao Understanding how biological systems evolve across space and time remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when dynamic processes vary substantially across individuals. Patient-specific dynamical parameters reveal distinct patterns of biological progression and provide improved prediction of future cognitive decline compared with standard biomarkers. Sensitivity analysis further identifies regional network features associated with the propagation of pathological and structural changes, recovering known temporolimbic and frontal vulnerability patterns.

How it works

  • These results demonstrate how data-driven dynamical modeling can integrate multimodal longitudinal measurements to uncover individualized spatiotemporal patterns and latent mechanisms of biological change.
  • The framework provides a quantitative approach for studying complex biological dynamics across heterogeneous individuals and establishes a foundation for personalized modeling of progressive biological...
