Abstract:

As a common and frequently-occurring disease,Alzheimer’s disease seriously affects the quality and level of life of the middle-aged and elderly.An in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer’s disease is important for the development of prevention and treatment options.Most of the existing studies were based on the static property analysis of the brain network before and after the lesion,and dynamic evolutionary mechanism of the lesion process was usually neglected.A dynamic evolution model was proposed based on the level of brain networks of Alzheimer’s disease by analyzing the longitudinal development to simulate plastic changes of the process.Finally,the rationality of the model was verified by evaluating the evolutionary results from multiple perspectives.The study provides a new idea for early diagnosis,functional evaluation and prediction of Alzheimer’s disease.

Key words: Alzheimer’s disease, complex network, brain network, network modeling, dynamic evolution
