We present a physics-informed deep learning framework that models tau pathology propagation in Alzheimer’s disease as an optimal mass transport (OMT) problem constrained by brain geometry, enabling interpretable and accurate prediction of future PET-based pathology distribution. By learning population-level flow dynamics and forecasting subject-specific spreading trajectories, our approach offers a...

Connectivity between the networks in the brain responsible for processing visual input and coordinating response to stimuli may play an important role in social affect symptom variability among children with ASD and those with genetic liability for ASD. These findings align with and extend earlier reports in this sample of...
