{"doi":"10.1016/j.bpsgos.2025.100541","title":"Predicting Mental and Neurological Illnesses Based on Cerebellar Normative Features","abstract":"Background Mental and neurological conditions have been linked to structural brain variations. However, aside from dementia, the value of brain structural characteristics derived from brain scans for prediction is relatively low. One reason for this limitation is the clinical and biological heterogeneity inherent to such conditions. Recent studies have implicated aberrations in the cerebellum – a relatively understudied brain region – in these clinical conditions. Methods Here, we used machine learning to test the value of individual deviations from normative cerebellar development across the lifespan (based on trained data from >27k participants) for prediction of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (n=317), bipolar disorder (BD) (n=238), schizophrenia (SZ) (n=195), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (n=122), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) (n=116), with individuals without diagnoses were matched to the clinical cohorts. We applied several atlases and derived median, variance, and percentages of extreme deviations within each region of interest. Results Our results show that lobular and voxel-wise cerebellar data can be used to discriminate reference samples from ASD and SZ with moderate accuracy (the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves ranged from 0.56 to 0.65), The contributions to these predictive models originated from both anterior and posterior regions of the cerebellum. Conclusions Our study highlights the utility of cerebellar normative modelling in predicting ASD and SZ, aided by four cerebellar atlases that enhanced the interpretability of the findings.","journal":"Biological Psychiatry Global Open Science","year":2025,"id":525850,"datarank":0.20794415416798362,"base_score":1.3862943611198906,"endowment":1.3862943611198906,"self_citation_contribution":0.20794415416798362,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.20794415416798362,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":3,"citer_count":3,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9541,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1400952,"name":"Nitin Sharma","orcid":"0000-0003-1995-0551","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":844316,"name":"Esten H.
