Description
Geng Zhao and co-authors listen to the resting brain's magnetic chatter for a signature of a squeezed spinal cord. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is judged by symptoms and structural scans, leaving function unmeasured. The team recorded brain magnetic signals from thirty-one patients and thirty-two healthy controls, eyes closed, and computed how brain regions sync across four frequency bands.
Patients showed band-specific rewiring, strongest in the slow theta and fast gamma bands. A logistic regression model separated patients from controls best, and an explanation method credited long-range theta links and frontal gamma links for the verdicts. The authors propose resting-state magnetic brain data, read by explainable machine learning, as a source of objective markers for the disease.
