Kong, X., & Francks, C. (2017). Differential gene expression associated with frontal and occipital asymmetries of the human brain. Poster presented at the Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping, Vancouver, Canada.
Abstract
Rightward frontal and leftward occipital asymmetries in human brain (i.e., brain torque) have been consistently reported in postmortem and in vivo neuroimaging studies. Alterations of these asymmetries may be involved in human disorders including stuttering and depression. However, little is known about the genetic determinants of these asymmetries. In the present study, we aimed to explore the genetic basis of frontal and occipital asymmetries by combining a large sample of MRI images (N = 2326) and a high-resolution gene expression database (Allen Human Brain Atlas, AHBA). -
Kong, X., Fisher, S. E., & Francks, C. (2016). Language-related gene activity: From gene to brain to behavior. Poster presented at the Human Brain Project Education Programme - Third HBP School, Obergurgl, Austria.
Abstract
Combining approaches at multiple scales, including gene, protein, brain and behavior, would provide a comprehensive picture of brain functions and individual differences. In this project, we will focus on the human language system, combining post mortem analysis of the transcriptome with genotyping in large datasets, functional mapping, and behavioral tasks, as well as receptor mapping via collaboration with Human Brain Project (HBP) investigators. -
Kong, X., Pu, Y., Wang, X., Hao, X., Zhen, Z., & Liu, J. (2016). Weak Intrinsic Functional Connectivity between the Hippocampus and Caudate Is Behaviorally Relevant. Poster presented at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping, Geneva, Switzerland.
Abstract
Interest has increased in the past decade in intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) studies based on the resting-state fMRI. Previous iFC studies have generally focused on strong connectivity patterns (e.g., top 5% or iFC larger than 0.20), for both diagnostic purposes, and understanding of the organization and developmental trajectories of human brain. Thus, weak connections are usually considered spurious and assigned a value of zero, resulting in the fact that the role of weak connections has remained obscure for years. This is somehow surprising, given that weak connections in other complex systems had already been stressed many years ago, including the social networks. However, little is known about the functional significance of weak iFC in human brain. Here we addressed this question by directly testing the behavioral significance of the weak iFC between the core structures of two relatively independent systems for spatial navigation (i.e., hippocampus and caudate). -

Abstract
With the increasing knowledge for the topography of brain function, neuroimaging studies are moving away from traditional brain mapping towards investigating the response properties of specific brain regions. As a result, region of interest (ROI) approach, which allows one to ask how a region responds to a range of situations and tasks, become an important methodology in neuroimaging. The FreeROI is designed to help ROI analysis by providing versatile tools for defining/manipulating ROIs and calculating a summary time course from the region data. A pipeline for handling big dataset is also included. -

Abstract
We proposed an improved approach to measuring regional diffusivity dependency with diffusion MRI. Unlike the original approach, the improved metric can detect all types of regional dependencies. Systematical comparison was done. -
Kong, X., Dang, X., & Liu, J. (2014). Large-scale anatomical networks: does node refining matter?. Poster presented at 20th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), Hamburg.
Abstract
We evaluated the affects of node refining on the topological properties of constructed large-scale anatomical networks. Significant effects of node-refining on topological metrics in large-scale anatomical network analysis were found, suggesting that node-refining does matter in quantifying anatomical topological properties.
