abstract = {Processing of neuroimaging data and extraction of the
structural and functional brain signals relies on plethora
of setting and parameters whose values are largely
conjectured. This problem is crucial for simulating the
whole-brain dynamics by mathematical models derived from and
validated against empirical data, which has attracted a
great interest during the last decade. For example,
considering a certain brain parcellation is essential for
defining a model network, but there is practically no
empirical evidence for the effect of a particular atlas
choice. We address this problem using a computational
modeling approach, where the resting-state brain dynamics as
reflected by fMRI BOLD is simulated by a dynamical model of
coupled oscillators. We considered a system of coupled phase
oscillators, where the coupling weights and delays were
extracted from empirical structural connectivity (eSC). We
compared the modeling outcome for three different brain
parcellations as given by the functional Schaefer atlas with
100 and 200 cortical parcels (S100 and S200) and anatomical
Harvard-Oxford atlas with 96 parcels (HO96). The natural
frequencies of the model oscillators were extracted from
non-filtered (NF) BOLD signal as well as filtered in
different frequency bands including the broad- (BF), low-
(LF) and high- (HF) frequency bands. The model was validated
by finding the optimal model parameters of the global
coupling and delay, where the strongest similarity as
revealed by Pearson’s correlation between simulated and
empirical functional connectivity (sFC and eFC) or between
sFC and eSC is achieved. We found that the maximal
similarity between functional data demonstrates a moderate
improvement of the model fitting when comparing S200 to
S100, and there is a strong enhancement when comparing HO96
to S100 and S200. For the structure-function relationship
between sFC and eSC, the ordering NF < BF < LF < HF can be
observed, but the differences between atlases are less
consistent. We found that HF condition can lead to distinct
distributions of the optimal model parameters than other
frequency bands, and the corresponding fitting results less
correlate with those obtained for other frequency bands.
Finally, the dynamics of the validated model can result in
pronounced bimodal distributions of the order parameter R(t)
and other quantities characterizing the model fitting for
S100 and S200, but not for HO96. We thus showed that a
choice of a particular brain parcellation and variation of
BOLD frequency band can cause a significant impact on the
quality of the model fitting, dynamics of the validated
model and their interrelations. The main impact of the brain
atlases can be observed for the fitting of sFC to eFC. The
frequency bands of the BOLD filtering mostly affect
structure-function relationships and can also influence the
reliability of the model validation.},
