Functional connectotomy of a whole-brain model reveals tumor-induced alterations to neuronal dynamics in glioma patients by Alexandersen, CG, Douw, L, Zimmerman, MLM, Bick, C, Goriely, A

“…We observe considerable differences in neuronal dynamics between glioma patients and healthy controls, both on an individual and population-based level. In particular, model parameter estimation suggests that local tumor pathology causes changes in brain dynamics by increasing the influence of interregional interactions on global neuronal activity. …”
