Abstract：This report aims at introducing the recent advances in study of brain networks， supported by the National Basic Research Program of China （2011CB707802）. Main research scopes of this project include theory and methodology applied in brain networks， experimental study of small animals， and the potential clinical applications. First， in the study for theory and methods of brain networks， we concentrated on the dynamic causal mode （DCM）， and mainly researched a new parameter estimation approach of DCM based stochastic filtering theory. We also applied multiple voxel pattern analysis approach based statistic learning theory into pattern classification of resting-state functional brain networks， which were suggested to provide the potential biomarkers for clinical diagnoses of various mental disorders. Second， in the experimental studies of animals， we mainly analyzed the anatomical networks based on DTI in Tupaia belangeri chinensis， which was expected to provide an effective animal mode for brain networks studies in psychiatry. Finally， we used the theory and methods of brain network to investigate pathological modes of a variety of mental disorder， including major depression， behavioral addiction， and smoking addiction. These results not only validate the reliability and robustness of proposed methods for brain network analyses， but shed some new lights on the pathological causes and neural mechanism of these disorders.
