Of the measures assessed, modularity had the highest TRT, and it was stable across a range of sparsities (a thresholding parameter used to define which network edges are retained), which underline the need to develop network descriptors that are robust to acquisition parameters.

Reproducibility of graph metrics of human brain structural networks

The graph metrics consistently showed good levels of reproducibility as measured with ICC, with the exception of some instability at low graph density levels, and the global and local efficiency measures were the most robust to the choice of fiber tracking algorithm.

Test-Retest Reliability of Graph Theoretic Metrics in Adolescent Brains

Overall findings suggest that FA weights are more suited for DTI connectome studies in adolescents than binary measures, with SDL weights producing the most reliable metrics.

Genetics of Path Lengths in Brain Connectivity Networks: HARDI-Based Maps in 457 Adults

This work defined a new measure, based on Dijkstra's algorithm, to compute path lengths for tracts connecting pairs of cortical regions, and compiled these measures into matrices where elements represent the physical distance traveled along tracts.

Resolving Structural Variability in Network Models and the Brain

It is found that synthetic models that constrain the network nodes to be physically embedded in anatomical brain regions tend to produce distributions that are most similar to the corresponding measurements for the brain, and that multiple neurobiological mechanisms might be at play in the development of human brain network architecture.

Test-Retest Reliability of Computational Network Measurements Derived from the Structural Connectome of the Human Brain

Measurements of computational network metrics derived from the structural connectome have sufficient precision to be tested as potential biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of interventions in neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Repeatability Analysis of Global and Local Metrics of Brain Structural Networks

Results confirm previous results on the validity of global network metrics as clinical biomarkers and indicate that the remaining variability at the local level as well as the effect of methodological characteristics on the network topology should be considered in the analysis of brain structural networks and especially in network comparisons.

Reproducibility of Graph-Theoretic Brain Network Metrics: A Systematic Review

For the metrics having three or more ICCs reported for both functional and structural networks, six of seven were higher inStructural networks, indicating that structural networks may be more reliable over time.
