Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing a functional mapping of a brain lesion in a patient's brain. The method comprises determining using a computer processor, based on human connectome data stored on at least one computer datastore in communication with the computer processor, at least one functional network associated with a location of a brain lesion identified in an image of a patient's brain. The at least one functional network includes a plurality of brain areas functionally connected to the location of the brain lesion and a plurality of correlation measures. Each of the correlation measures indicates a strength of functional connection between the location of the brain lesion and a respective brain area of the plurality of brain areas in the at least one functional network. The method further comprises determining, based at least one functional network, a likelihood that the brain lesion is causing one or more patient symptoms.
