In recent years, the application of network analysis to neuroimaging data has
provided useful insights about the brain's functional and structural organization
in both health and disease. This has proven a significant paradigm shift from the
study of individual brain regions in isolation. Graph-based models of the brain
consist of vertices, which represent distinct brain areas, and edges which encode
the presence (or absence) of a structural or functional relationship between each
pair of vertices. By definition, any graph metric will be defined upon this
dyadic representation of the brain activity. It is however unclear to what extent
these dyadic relationships can capture the brain's complex functional
architecture and the encoding of information in distributed networks. Moreover,
because network representations of global brain activity are derived from
measures that have a continuous response (i.e., interregional BOLD signals), it
is methodologically complex to characterize the architecture of functional
networks using traditional graph-based approaches. In the present study, we
investigate the relationship between standard network metrics computed from
dyadic interactions in a functional network, and a metric defined on the
persistence homological scaffold of the network, which is a summary of the
persistent homology structure of resting-state fMRI data. The persistence
homological scaffold is a summary network that differs in important ways from the
standard network representations of functional neuroimaging data: (i) it is
constructed using the information from all edge weights comprised in the original
network without applying an ad hoc threshold and (ii) as a summary of persistent
homology, it considers the contributions of simplicial structures to the network
organization rather than dyadic edge-vertices interactions. We investigated the
information domain captured by the persistence homological scaffold by computing
the strength of each node in the scaffold and comparing it to local graph metrics
traditionally employed in neuroimaging studies. We conclude that the persistence
scaffold enables the identification of network elements that may support the
functional integration of information across distributed brain networks.
