Exploring 3-hinge gyral folding patterns among HCP Q3 868 human subjects.

ABSTRACT: Comparison and integration of neuroimaging data from different brains and populations are fundamental in neuroscience. Over the past decades, the neuroimaging field has largely depended on image registration to compare and integrate neuroimaging data from individuals in a common reference space, with a basic assumption that the brains are similar. However, the intrinsic neuroanatomical complexity and huge interindividual cortical folding variation remain underexplored. Here we focus on a specific cortical convolution pattern, termed 3-hinge gyral folding, which is the conjunction of gyri from multiple orientations and has unique and consistent anatomically, structurally, and functionally connective patterns across subjects. By developing a novel shape descriptor and a two-stage clustering
