Detecting Thalamic Abnormalities in Autism Using Cylinder Conformal Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of studies have documented that autism has a neurobiological basis, but the anatomical extent of these neurobiological abnormalities is largely unknown. In this paper, we applied advanced computational techniques to extract 3D surface models of the thalamus and subsequently analyze highly localized shape variations in a homogeneous group of autism children. In particular, a new conformal parameterization for high genus surfaces is applied in our shape analysis work, which maps the surfaces onto a cylinder domain. Surface matching among different individual meshes is achieved by re-triangulating each mesh according to the template. Children with autism and their controls are compared, and statistical significant abnormalities in thalamus of autism are detected.

Detecting corpus callosum abnormalities in autism subtype using planar conformal mapping
A number of studies have documented that autism has a neurobiological basis, but the anatomical extent of these neurobiological abnormalities is largely unknown. In this paper, we apply advanced computational techniques to extract 3D models of the corpus callosum (CC) and subsequently analyze local shape variations in a homogeneous group of autistic children. Besides the traditional volumetric ...

A number of studies have documented that autism has a neurobiological basis, but the anatomical extent of these neurobiological abnormalities is largely unknown. In this study, we aimed at analyzing highly localized shape abnormalities of the corpus callosum in a homogeneous group of autism children. Thirty patients with essential autism and twenty-four controls participated in this study. 2D c...
متن کاملCylinder renormalization for Siegel disks and a constructive Measurable Riemann Mapping Theorem
The boundary of the Siegel disk of a quadratic polynomial with an irrationally indifferent fixed point with the golden mean rotation number has been observed to be self-similar. The geometry of this self-similarity is universal for a large class of holomorphic maps. A renormalization explanation of this universality has been proposed in the literature. However, one of the ingredients of this ex...
متن کاملAn MRI and proton spectroscopy study of the thalamus in children with autism.
Thalamic alterations have been reported in autism, but the relationships between these abnormalities and clinical symptoms, specifically sensory features, have not been elucidated. The goal of this investigation is to combine two neuroimaging methods to examine further the pathophysiology of thalamic anomalies in autism and to identify any association with sensory deficits. Structural MRI and m...
متن کاملExact conserved quantities on the cylinder I: conformal case.
Exact conserved quantities on the cylinder I: conformal case. Abstract The nonlinear integral equations describing the spectra of the left and right (continuous) quantum KdV equations on the cylinder are derived from integrable lattice field theories, which turn out to allow the Bethe Ansatz equations of a twisted " spin −1/2 " chain. A very useful mapping to the more common nonlin-ear integral...
