Cover image: The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is one of the mainstream imaging modalities to study brain functional connectivity. In brain connectivity networks, the nodes represent brain regions and an edge indicates conditional dependence between the linked brain regions. Differential network analysis aims to identify the difference between the networks of two groups. It is of great interest to investigate how the network of connected brain regions alters from the disease group to the control group, which may shed light on the underlying pathogenic mechanism. The processed fMRI data have a spatial by temporal matrix structure, where the rows correspond to the brain regions while the columns correspond to the time points. The proposed matrix-variate differential network model is very flexible and the corresponding estimation procedure directly dig out the difference of spatial partial correlation matrices between two groups without attempting to estimate each partial correlation matrix separately. This comes from Figure 1 in the article authored by Jiadong Ji, Yong He, Lei Liu, and Lei Xie, and entitled "Brain connectivity alteration detection via matrix-variate differential network model."
