Jie Chen, Tongqiang Liu, Haifeng Shi, Cota Navin Gupta, Cota Navin Gupta, Cota Navin Gupta

TL;DR
This study explores brain network changes in patients with end-stage renal disease and mild cognitive impairment, using a new fusion method that improves diagnostic accuracy.
Contribution
A novel multi-head self-attention model for fusing trimodal brain networks, achieving higher classification accuracy in ESRDaMCI diagnosis.
Findings
The proposed fusion method achieved 92.80% classification accuracy, outperforming existing methods by at least 3.63%.
Brain regions identified correlate with cognitive dysfunction scores, offering insights into ESRDaMCI pathogenesis.
Abstract
The function and structure of brain networks (BN) may undergo changes in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), particularly in those accompanied by mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI). Many existing methods for fusing BN focus on extracting interaction features between pairs of network nodes from each mode and combining them. This approach overlooks the correlation between different modal features during feature extraction and the potentially valuable information that may exist between more than two brain regions. To address this issue, we propose a model using a multi-head self-attention mechanism to fuse brain functional networks, white matter structural networks, and gray matter structural networks, which results in the construction of brain fusion networks (FBN). Initially, three networks are constructed: the brain function network, the white matter structure network, and…
