Computational modelling reveals neurobiological contributions to static and dynamic functional connectivity patterns by Linnea Hoheisel, Linnea Hoheisel, Hannah Hacker, Gereon R Fink, Gereon R Fink, Silvia Daun, Silvia Daun, Joseph Kambeitz, Joseph Kambeitz

“…Recent advances in computational modelling allow us to investigate the relationship of both static FC (sFC) and dynamic FC (dFC) with neurobiology non-invasively.In this study, we modelled the brain activity of 200 healthy individuals based on empirical resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data. Simulations were conducted using a group-averaged structural connectome and four parameters guiding global integration and local excitation-inhibition balance: (i) G, a global coupling scaling parameter; (ii) Ji, an inhibitory coupling parameter; (iii) JN, the excitatory NMDA synaptic coupling parameter; and (iv) wp, the excitatory population recurrence weight. …”

“…Gilbert’s syndrome (GS) is a disease with an autosomal recessive type of inheritance caused by either impaired expression of the UGT1A1 gene, which encodes the isoform of the uridine-5-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GTA1), or structural modifications of UDP-GTA1. GS is characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia; drug metabolism disorders and the development of drug-drug interactions. …”
