Automated discrimination of brain pathological state attending to complex structural brain network properties: the shiverer mutant mouse case.

Neuroimaging classification procedures between normal and pathological subjects are sparse and highly dependent of an expert's clinical criterion. Here, we aimed to investigate whether possible brain structural network differences in the shiverer mouse mutant, a relevant animal model of myelin...
