AI Summary

This study addresses the critical lack of quantitative tools for early, individualized detection of neurodegenerative diseases by systematically reviewing data-driven techniques in translational neuroscience. By integrating four methodological pillars—neuroimaging analysis, statistical computational modeling, and personalized prediction algorithms—we construct brain health models that balance mechanistic interpretability with clinical operability. This research not only facilitates the translational integration of multimodal data into precise diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making but also clarifies the existing technological landscape within the field. Furthermore, it delineates open challenges and future directions for achieving precision neurohealth, ultimately establishing a novel paradigm for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract

Neurodegenexrative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are diagnosed most reliably only after substantial, often irreversible, neuronal loss has already occurred, creating an urgent need for quantitative tools that can detect subtle, early, and individual-specific brain changes from neuroimaging data. This review surveys a broad and rapidly evolving toolkit of data-driven techniques for translational neuroscience and personalized neuro-health, organized around four complementary methodological pillars. Throughout, we emphasize how these methodologically diverse approaches converge on a common translational goal: personalized, mechanistically grounded, and clinically actionable models of individual brain health, and we close by discussing the principal open statistical, computational, and clinical challenges that remain.
