Epidemic Spreading and Neurodegenerative Progression

Caption

The human brain's structural connectome (below, center) modulates the propagation of toxic Amyloid-beta proteins, from non-binding (above, left) to advanced deposition patterns (above, right) associated with healthy and diseased brain states respectively. In the Amyloid-beta deposition images (above, from left to right) node sizes are proportional to the associated Amyloid-beta burden.
