Neurodegenerative diseases appear to progress by spreading through brain networks. Here I will discuss two complementary approaches for predicting future atrophy in individual patients with frontotemporal dementia. In the first approach, we determine patient-specific
“epicenters” and use a connectome-based spreading model to predict future atrophy. We show that we can accurately predict longitudinal atrophy in most patients and find evidence that degeneration spreads from the epicenter in a nonlinear fashion. In the second
approach, we use unsupervised deep learning on ~6000 structural MRI scans from individuals across the neurodegenerative spectrum to build a latent space of brain structure. We use this space to predict individual trajectories of brain structure change with
high precision for most dementia syndromes. Together, these approaches could lead to new clinical tools for prognostication and disease monitoring.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
