A novel approach to understanding Parkinsonian cognitive decline using minimum spanning trees, edge cutting, and magnetoencephalography

Abstract Graph theory-based approaches are efficient tools for detecting clustering and group-wise differences in high-dimensional data across a wide range of fields, such as gene expression analysis and neural connectivity. Here, we examine data from a cross-sectional, resting-state magnetoencephal...

We observe multiple indications of altered connectivity in Parkinsonian dementia that may be of future use in diagnosis and prediction.
