Translational network neuroscience aims to integrate advanced neuroimaging and data analysis techniques into clinical practice to better understand and treat neurological disorders. Despite the promise of technologies such as functional MRI and diffusion MRI combined with network analysis tools, the field faces several challenges that hinder its swift clinical translation. We have identified nine key roadblocks that impede this process: (a) theoretical and basic science foundations; (b) network construction, data interpretation, and validation; (c) MRI access, data variability, and protocol standardization; (d) data sharing; (e) computational resources and expertise; (f) interdisciplinary collaboration; (g) industry collaboration and commercialization; (h) operational efficiency, integration, and training; and (i) ethical and legal considerations. To address these challenges, we propose several possible solution strategies. By aligning scientific goals with clinical realities and establishing a sound ethical framework, translational network neuroscience can achieve meaningful advances in personalized medicine and ultimately improve patient care. We advocate for an interdisciplinary commitment to overcoming translational hurdles in network neuroscience and integrating advanced technologies into routine clinical practice.

Network neuroscience is an emerging field that explores the complex architecture and functionality of interconnected brain regions (Bassett & Sporns, 2017; Rubinov & Sporns, 2010). As part of network science and a subcategory of complex networks (Noble, Curtiss, Pessoa, & Scheinost, 2023), network neuroscience aims to apply theoretical perspectives to studying multidimensional, nonlinear, and interacting neuroscientific phenomena. This often involves using data-driven models to map the complex relationships between the brain and behavior.

Brain networks can be mapped using various methods, each providing specific information about different aspects of connectivity. Structural connectivity, derived from diffusion MRI (dMRI), visualizes white matter pathways, connecting different regions of the brain. dMRI therefore offers insights into how brain regions are physically connected to process cognitive functions and behavior (Basser, Mattiello, & LeBihan, 1994; Hagmann et al., 2008; Jeurissen, Descoteaux, Mori, & Leemans, 2019; Jones, Knösche, & Turner, 2013). Functional connectivity, often measured with resting-state or task-based functional MRI (fMRI), represents statistical dependencies or correlations between brain regions, highlighting coactivation or synchronization patterns based on blood oxygenation levels (Fox & Raichle, 2007; Friston, 2011; Logothetis, 2008). Effective connectivity describes the causal influence that one brain region exerts on another, focusing on modeling dynamic causal interactions between brain areas (Friston, 2011; Valdes-Sosa, Roebroeck, Daunizeau, & Friston, 2011). Each connectivity measure has proven valuable for understanding alterations in brain networks across various disorders (Dai et al., 2019; Fornito, Zalesky, & Breakspear, 2015; Sha, Wager, Mechelli, & He, 2019; Siegel et al., 2016). For example, in stroke patients, network disruption analyses have helped predict impairments across behavioral domains, aiding in understanding lesion impact on brain function (Hope et al., 2024; Siegel et al., 2016; Talozzi et al., 2023). In Alzheimer's disease, combining structural and functional network analyses reveal how the disease affects global brain organization and function (Dai et al., 2019). This integrated perspective allows to detect subtle, widespread brain organization changes, informing potential targeted treatments (Fornito et al., 2015).

Integrating network science with neuroscience has led to the development of innovative methods for studying neural circuits, providing deeper insights into brain function related to clinical diagnoses (Barabási et al., 2023). For instance, a network analysis has shown decreased ipsilesional structural connectivity in glioma patients, offering insights into how brain tumors impact white matter pathways (Fekonja et al., 2022). Studies in schizophrenia have explored changes in resting-state complexity and hierarchical cortical networks organization, broadening the understanding of the disorder's neurobiological basis (Bassett et al., 2008; Bassett, Nelson, Mueller, Camchong, & Lim, 2012). A recent perspective on functional neuroimaging underscores the potential of integrated neuroscience to map cognitive functions within brain networks, bridging systems, cognitive, computational, and clinical neuroscience (Finn, Poldrack, & Shine, 2023). The network-based statistic approach, developed to identify differences in brain networks, enables more precise characterization of neurological and psychiatric conditions (Zalesky, Fornito, & Bullmore, 2010). This method has led to the identification of connectomic phenotypes for psychiatric disorders, bridging the gap between genetic risk factors and clinical symptoms and supporting a shift toward dimensional models of psychopathology (Fornito & Bullmore, 2012). Rather than categorical diagnoses, researchers are now using network-based models to characterize connectivity changes across psychiatric traits (Lindner et al., 2018). These network-level changes are associated with various brain disorders, showcasing network mechanisms as a core component (Stam, 2014).

Recent trends in connectomics, including machine learning applications in network neuroscience data, further advance our understanding of brain function and support improved treatment (Good et al., 2022; Petkoski, Ritter, & Jirsa, 2023; Schirner, Deco, & Ritter, 2023; Sporns & Bassett, 2018).

Emerging studies highlight the therapeutic potential of network neuroscience. For example, a study on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) demonstrated that antidepressant efficacy varies with the functional connectivity strength to the subgenual cingulate, suggesting functional connectivity's role in optimizing TMS for depression (Fox, Buckner, White, Greicius, & Pascual-Leone, 2012). In epilepsy research, the network analysis of intracranial EEG data has revealed dynamic patterns associated with seizure generation, propagation, and termination. This approach provides new insights into seizure mechanisms, potentially informing presurgical planning and improving epileptogenic zones' understanding (Khambhati et al., 2015). However, despite these advances, larger scale validation studies are essential to establish these methods as clinical standards and confirm efficacy beyond current practices.

Although promising, network neuroscience faces several technical, methodological, and communication challenges that hinder rapid clinical translation (Pinto et al., 2020; Thengone, Voss, Fridman, & Schiff, 2016; H. E. Wang et al., 2023). Many challenges overlap with general neuroimaging issues, yet network-based approaches also bring unique considerations. We will examine these challenges and propose solutions. A recent review of clinical network neuroscience emphasized the need for standardization, large-scale collaborations, and clinically relevant network measures (Douw et al., 2019). Network neuroscience relies heavily on advanced neuroimaging techniques, signal modeling, connectivity estimation, and parcellation methods, introducing complexities beyond traditional neuroimaging. These include challenges in constructing meaningful brain networks (e.g., false positives or negatives), interpreting network metrics clinically, and translating network-level insights to patient-specific interventions. Variability in parcellation schemes complicates cross-study comparisons, and while measures like modularity or global efficiency offer valuable insights into network organization, their clinical applications remain limited (Bullmore & Sporns, 2009; Eickhoff, Yeo, & Genon, 2018; Fornito, Zalesky, & Bullmore, 2010; Messé, 2020). Integrating network metrics with patient-specific outcomes, such as predicting disease progression or treatment response, represents another significant hurdle (Bassett & Sporns, 2017; Fornito et al., 2015).

The goal of this work is to highlight key translational medicine barriers and propose strategies to advance progress in translational network neuroscience (TNN).

A Systematic Approach to Translation

The journey from research to clinical practice follows distinct phases, each with unique challenges and objectives. At its foundation lies the preclinical phase (T0), where researchers investigate basic mechanisms and disease processes to identify potential therapeutic targets. Clinical validation then progresses through increasingly comprehensive trials: initial safety assessment in small groups (T1), efficacy exploration in larger cohorts (T2), and broader confirmation studies comparing outcomes to standard treatments (T3). The final phase (T4) focuses on community-wide implementation, addressing the complexities of integrating interventions across diverse healthcare settings (Blumberg, Dittel, Hafler, von Herrath, & Nestle, 2012; Fort, Herr, Shaw, Gutzman, & Starren, 2017).

TNN currently spans these early stages of this translational continuum. While promising applications in individual-level brain mapping are emerging, most approaches remain in preclinical development, requiring rigorous validation before advancing to clinical use (Gordon et al., 2017; Gratton et al., 2018; Mahmoud et al., 2024; Mulders, van Eijndhoven, Schene, Beckmann, & Tendolkar, 2015).

We have identified nine critical roadblocks that currently impede the translation of network neuroscience into clinical practice (Table 1). These challenges span theoretical foundations, methodological considerations, and practical implementation issues. Each roadblock demands specific solutions to bridge the gap between research potential and clinical reality.

Theoretical and Fundamental Science Foundations

Roadblocks.

TNN currently lacks comprehensive theories to explain its multitude of observations. Without such theorization, identifying mechanisms crucial for clinical application becomes challenging. The field's reliance on abstract network measures, such as graph-theoretical measures of centrality, segregation, or integration, creates a difficulty in relating mathematical concepts to anatomical features and clinical measures. The gap between anatomical and mathematical scales, combined with the absence of frameworks that meaningfully connect network metrics to biological reality, limits the clinical interpretability of network neuroscience findings (Binder & Desai, 2011).

Enablers.

The development of unified theoretical frameworks offers practical solutions to bridge these conceptual gaps. Network control theory and dynamical systems modeling provide structured approaches to connect abstract network measures with neurobiological processes (Bassett & Sporns, 2017). Digital twin methodology represents a particularly promising advance, enabling precise simulation and prediction through virtual representations of physical systems (Fekonja et al., 2024). By integrating computational models with empirical data, these approaches can create mechanistic frameworks that better reflect biological reality, including crucial elements like neuroplasticity (Fekonja et al., 2024; Ritter, Schirner, McIntosh, & Jirsa, 2013; Roy et al., 2014). The field's evolution beyond descriptive strategies to predictive and control-oriented frameworks strengthens its clinical potential (Srivastava, Fotiadis, Parkes, & Bassett, 2022). Animal studies complement human neuroimaging research by providing essential validation and causal insights. Recent developments, including a comprehensive macaque connectome and high-quality chimpanzee brain imaging data, enable valuable cross-species comparisons (Eichner et al., 2024; Shen et al., 2019). These comparative approaches reveal evolutionarily preserved network features, while computational models that integrate both human and animal data are becoming increasingly important (Brynildsen, Rajan, Henderson, & Bassett, 2023; van den Heuvel, Bullmore, & Sporns, 2016). Though translating these insights to patient care remains challenging, future research emphasizing parallel experimental designs across species and improved noninvasive neuroimaging methods shows promise.

Network Construction, Data Interpretation, and Validation

Roadblocks.

Network construction in clinical populations is challenging (de Reus & van den Heuvel, 2013; Fekonja et al., 2022). For instance, in patients with brain lesions, standard atlas-based parcellations often prove inadequate, requiring adaptive network node definition strategies (Fornito et al., 2015). The construction of meaningful brain networks depends critically on methodological choices, from brain atlas selection to connectivity estimation approaches, with each decision potentially affecting research outcomes. Network measures show particular sensitivity to variations in data acquisition and processing, complicating standardization efforts (Botvinik-Nezer et al., 2020; Hallquist & Hillary, 2018). The relationship between network properties and brain dysfunction remains complex and often indirect, making clinical interpretation of network measures particularly challenging. The challenge of capturing dynamic connectivity changes over time and across different cognitive states adds another layer of complexity. Traditional analyses, assuming static connectivity, fail to reflect the brain's inherent temporal fluctuations (Hutchison et al., 2013). Tool diversity in network analysis introduces additional heterogeneity in data interpretation. Perhaps most critically, current tools excel at group-level insights but lack the adaptability needed for individual patient analysis, creating a significant barrier to personalized medicine (Croxson, Forkel, Cerliani, & Thiebaut de Schotten, 2018; Forkel, Friedrich, Thiebaut de Schotten, & Howells, 2022; Gabrieli, Ghosh, & Whitfield-Gabrieli, 2015).

Enablers.

The development of robust analytical tools requires interdisciplinary collaboration. Engineers, computer scientists, neuroanatomists, and clinicians working together can create solutions optimized for clinical usability. Comprehensive user documentation and tutorials simplify the creation and interpretation of complex network data.1,2,3 Normative models support data interpretation and are particularly valuable where disease-related anatomical changes alter typical brain structures (Srivastava et al., 2022). Robust methods for accurate definition of white matter pathways and functional nodes and edges in networks, even in the presence of lesions, are necessary. Lesion filling methods and clinical data synthesis toolboxes enable better brain segmentation and parcellation results by cropping out lesions or harmonizing image quality (Iglesias et al., 2021, 2023; Matsulevits et al., 2024; Radwan et al., 2021). Dynamic functional connectivity analyses, including sliding window techniques and time-varying graph metrics, are essential for understanding brain network dynamics, though careful validation remains important (Allen et al., 2014; Basile et al., 2022).

The field benefits from a rich ecosystem of computational tools. Several computational software now facilitate brain network construction and analysis. Examples like MRtrix3 and DSI Studio offer tools for structural connectivity, while the CONN Toolbox and Nilearn specialize in functional connectivity among many others (Abraham et al., 2014; Tournier et al., 2019; Whitfield-Gabrieli & Nieto-Castanon, 2012).4 Brain Connectivity Toolbox, GRETNA, and NetworkX represent just a few of the many valuable resources offering complementary capabilities for complex network analysis, dMRI analysis, and workflow integration, respectively (Hagberg, Swart, & Schult, 2008; Rubinov & Sporns, 2010; J. Wang et al., 2015). These developments exemplify network neuroscience's rapidly evolving nature, with new platforms continuously emerging to address specific analytical challenges. A comprehensive list of all available tools is beyond the scope of this article.

MRI Access, Data Variability, and Protocol Standardization

Roadblocks.

The implementation of network analyses in clinical settings is influenced by variation challenges in MRI infrastructure that span research and clinical environments. Advanced research centers with dedicated systems like ultrahigh field or high-gradient scanners contrast facilities with standard clinical equipment. While dMRI benefits primarily from high-gradient capabilities, functional connectivity gain advantages from higher field strengths. This dichotomy in MRI access creates disparities between research and clinical realms, with even more pronounced differences at the global level (Bates et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2021). Equipment differences, including magnetic field strength, manufacturer variations, scanner age, and coil types, result in data that resist direct comparison across research sites. The absence of standardized protocols are major challenges to advancement and hampers the creation of large, reliable datasets, often limiting studies to small, albeit homogeneous, clinical samples (Button et al., 2013). Processing and analysis pipeline variations introduce additional complexity, further challenging result integration across studies.

Enablers.

While complete harmonization represents an ideal goal, developing center-specific models offers a practical intermediate solution. Hospital-specific predictive models using local neuroimaging protocols and patient populations can achieve high accuracy and immediate applicability. The challenge lies in balancing such locally optimized solutions with the need for generalizable knowledge.

Methods robust to acquisition and processing variability show particular promise. Dataset stacking and transfer learning approaches have demonstrated success in network neuroscience, with studies showing that deep learning models trained on multisite fMRI data can generalize effectively across different protocols and populations (He et al., 2020).

Harmonization strategies remain crucial for standardizing data from different acquisition protocols. Progress in dMRI has yielded robust data harmonization methods (Pinto et al., 2020). Minimum common protocols for each modality, adjustable for site and scanner differences, can improve data comparability while acknowledging the conflict between maximizing high-quality scanner capabilities and maintaining standardization. Quantitative MRI offers another approach, focusing on absolute unit measurements inherently comparable across sites (Cooper et al., 2020; Smith, Tournier, Calamante, & Connelly, 2015). Improving access to high-quality MRI scanners through resource sharing and targeted funding for technology upgrades ensures broader participation in comprehensive network neuroscience studies.

Data Sharing

Roadblocks.

Data privacy regulations and subsequent regulatory scrutiny present a critical aspect of data analysis and sharing protocols consensus (cf. roadblock 9). Limited capacity and poor integration of picture archiving and communication systems within research environments hinder seamless data exchange. Systems incompatibilities and varying data formats further complicate transfers between clinical and research platforms. The need for comprehensive open access data registers, including detailed clinical information, represents another essential discrepancy in research infrastructure.

Enablers.

The development of standardized, scalable data-sharing platforms enhances research integration and facilitates efficient data transfer. The European Health Data Space pilot exemplifies efforts to create frameworks for health data sharing in Europe, addressing interoperability challenges and legal uncertainties.5,6 Promoting interoperability standards and robust IT infrastructures resolves data format compatibility issues, enabling accurate data exchange. Projects like the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) provide standardized frameworks for data organization and storage, facilitating collaboration (Gorgolewski et al., 2017). The OpenNeuro database demonstrates how standardized formats can enable large-scale data sharing and integration and support multicenter studies, accelerating translational research (Markiewicz et al., 2021). The FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles improve machine-based data usage and support scientific data reuse. These principles extend to research software, recognizing it as a digital object requiring similar standardization (Chue Hong et al., 2022; Wilkinson et al., 2016). Online collections of openly available datasets can serve as foundational resources for an open access data registry.7

Computational Resources

Roadblocks.

Network analyses demand substantial computational power, especially for dynamic network modeling and multimodal data integration (Sporns, 2018). The complexity of network computations, particularly graph theoretical measures on large-scale brain networks, creates unique implementation challenges for clinical settings. Standard clinical and research environments often lack the necessary hardware for comprehensive analyses, with advanced diagnostics requiring significant computational capabilities. While large research institutions may access cluster computing and national supercomputing facilities, such as Snellius in the Netherlands, these resources remain largely unavailable to clinical environments.

Enablers.

Overcoming these challenges, requires scalable computing infrastructure with enhanced processing power and storage solutions. Optimizing preprocessing complexity and coding efficiency ensures responsible resource utilization. Effective translation needs capable algorithms and user-friendly interfaces developed through multidisciplinary collaboration. Cloud-based solutions offer scalable computing and storage resources on demand. Support from governmental or institutional initiatives can ensure that these upgrades and collaborations align with regulatory standards, data privacy laws, and sustainability targets.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Roadblocks.

Translating network neuroscience into clinical practice requires seamless collaboration across disciplines, including neuroanatomy, neurosurgery, neurology, psychology, radiology, data science, bioinformatics, and mathematics (Barabási et al., 2023; Bassett & Sporns, 2017). Differences in terminology, methodologies, and priorities create barriers to collaboration and hinder integration into clinical workflows. Software engineers, manufacturers, data scientists, and clinicians must collaborate to develop tools that integrate smoothly into clinical practice.

Enablers.

Joint programs and collaborative research environments foster interdisciplinarity. Financial and institutional support for interdisciplinary projects provides incentives for collaboration. Platforms for regular knowledge exchange, including workshops, conferences, and joint publications, promote integration across disciplines. The European Human Brain Project's EBRAINS8 and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology funding organization exemplify such initiatives, offering workshops and fellowship programs, although less specified.9

Industry Collaboration and Commercialization

Roadblocks.

The translation of advanced TNN methods into widely used, medically certified software is a critical step toward clinical integration (translational phase T4). However, the disconnect between academic research and commercial medical software development often hinders the integration of state-of-the-art TNN tools into existing clinical platforms. The transition from validated research software to clinical application faces a lengthy, often slow and expensive, regulatory approval process. European regulations (Medical Device Regulation, General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR], AI Act) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s framework for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning-based Software as Medical Device (SaMD) impose high validation and safety hurdles.10,11 These requirements sometimes lead practitioners to seek workarounds (Beare et al., 2023).

Enablers.

Success requires strategic partnerships between academic researchers and medical software companies. Aligning companies' ability to develop profitable solutions with interdisciplinary academic research insights drives innovation. Industry-in-clinic platforms can facilitate these collaborations. Cooperation with regulatory bodies has the potential to establish clear guidance for TNN software as a medical device and streamline certification procedures. Engaging electronic health record (EHR) providers supports seamless integration of TNN results into patient records. Political decision-makers and patient representatives can promote acceptance and adoption of TNN methods in standard clinical care.

Operational Efficiency, Integration, and Training

Roadblocks.

Clinical workflows prioritize patient safety, time-efficiency, and cost-effectiveness potentially limiting seamless integration of advanced methods and cross-disciplinary collaboration. This operational focus creates practical barriers to implementing advanced network analyses, which often require additional time, resources, and expertise beyond standard clinical procedures. Fast-paced clinical environments struggle to accommodate the computational processing times and complex analyses inherent to network approaches.

The education and training gap presents another significant challenge. Network neuroscience's inherent complexity demands understanding of advanced neuroimaging techniques, computational modeling, and data analysis methods. Many clinicians lack the foundational knowledge needed to effectively integrate these sophisticated tools into their clinical workflows.

Enablers.

Integrated digital health records and data management systems streamline information sharing between clinical and research teams. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can help automate and personalize data analysis, though implementation needs careful considerations of regulatory requirements and ethical implications.

Dedicated hospital teams for health data use and access bridge research and clinical practice, facilitating technology integration while ensuring regulatory compliance and clinical workflow alignment. Continuous feedback between researchers and clinicians safeguards tool development matches clinical needs. Multinational infrastructure, such as eBRAIN-health, offers research platforms for brain modeling and simulation across borders.12

Training warrants a multifaceted approach. Clinicians need introduction to data security, privacy, and sharing frameworks. Specialized training programs must address the increasing focus on data-centered medicine, potentially leading to new qualifications or specialist titles. Educational resources like Neuromatch Academy and Brainhack13 offer intensive courses (Gau et al., 2021; Neuromatch Academy, 2021). Course content is often freely available on the web, YouTube, 14,15 or GitHub, 16 providing material for self-study on demand. Funding programs like Clinician Scientist in the United Kingdom and Germany facilitate research alongside clinical duties.17

Ethical and Legal Considerations

Roadblocks.

Ethical and legal considerations in patient data use have shaped translational research structures, particularly since the GDPR implementation. While Europe's GDPR broadly regulates all personal information, protections in other regions vary; for example, United States regulations split between the Common Rule and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (White, Blok, & Calhoun, 2022). The complexity of obtaining informed consent stems from the requirement for detailed information about data use, storage, and disclosure within applicable legal frameworks. Data sovereignty issues between patients, researchers, and institutions lack clear definition and face varying interpretations across countries. Ensuring patient privacy demands robust procedures for (pseudo) anonymization and storage, involving significant resources. These critical concerns around patient consent, data ownership, privacy, and ethical implications can delay TNN implementation.

Enablers.

Developing these frameworks necessitates simultaneous involvement of ethicists, legal experts, patient representatives, and policymakers. Such collaborative efforts prove essential in the broader context of AI healthcare development (Bouderhem, 2024). Promoting transparency in data use and ensuring robust consent procedures build societal trust and acceptance. The establishment of harmonized national guidelines for clinical research with patient data necessitates a joint effort between the research community, patients, and governmental representatives.

Bridging Clinical Insight With Network Neuroscience and Technical Advances

Our understanding of cognition and functional capacity as dynamic interactions between brain structure and function is driven by research on functional impairments in neurological conditions like stroke, gliomas, and schizophrenia (Duffau, 2015; Penfield & Rasmussen, 1950; Zhang et al., 2021). Current research reveals how synchronized oscillations in coupled neuronal populations illustrate brain network communication and coordination (Basile et al., 2022; Schirner, Kong, Yeo, Deco, & Ritter, 2022). Studies demonstrate pathological protein spread through communicating neurons and neurotransmitter modulation of brain network dynamics during cognitive tasks, shedding light on mechanisms underlying various brain disorders (Braun et al., 2021; Vogel et al., 2020).

Interindividual variability in network perspectives, particularly in white matter phenotypes and structural connections, holds promise for refining treatment procedures. Preliminary evidence suggests that these differences may influence disease progression and treatment response (Croxson et al., 2018; Forkel, Friedrich, et al., 2022; Jung et al., 2019; Venkatesh et al., 2019). Exploring structural connectivity variations helps assess individual task performance differences, differentiate targeted stimulation effects, and drive personalized therapeutics. These individual differences inform models that can tailor interventions to specific needs, enhancing treatment effectiveness (Bansal, Medaglia, Bassett, Vettel, & Muldoon, 2018).

While big data approaches offer numerous advantages, smaller interventional studies in network neuroscience maintain important value. These studies, particularly in clinical neurology, often provide critical causal insights readily translatable to clinical practice. Investigations using direct cortical stimulation in epilepsy patients, for instance, have revealed invaluable information about the causal role of specific network nodes in cognitive functions (Parvizi, Rangarajan, Shirer, Desai, & Greicius, 2013). Thus, balancing these targeted, mechanistic investigations with larger observational studies is central for advancing translational network neuroscience.

The clinical sector should actively promote TNN beyond individual advanced analyses, for example, by improving patient care documentation. This includes systematic recording of clinical findings, neuropsychological status, and quality of life metrics with greater detail, quality, and standardization. TNN models require development and training with meaningful patient outcomes, necessitating diverse patient representative involvement in outcome definition.

The continuous pursuit of improved image quality and of the advanced method integration remains essential. These advancements in clinical domains drive TNN progress, ultimately enabling more personalized and effective patient care.

Encouraging Interoperability and Standardization

Encouraging collaboration and data exchange between different centers requires a focus on interoperability and standardization. Integrated data-sharing platforms, consensus on minimal common protocol standards and file formats, like BIDS provide pivotal support (Gorgolewski et al., 2017). Privacy-compliant centralized databases enhance methodology reliability and standardization. A minimum common protocol approach ensures consistency while allowing centers to optimize their resource utilization.

Major initiatives like the Human Connectome Project18 and EBRAINS exemplify the impact of standardized acquisitions, methods development, and the insights gained from open access to high-quality datasets. EBRAINS 2.0 targets data harmonization and combining multimodal data, focusing on brain organization, disease mechanisms, and biomarker development19 (Amunts et al., 2023; Van Essen et al., 2012). The UK Biobank is another critical infrastructure project, although access has recently been limited by project approval processes, substantial funding requirements, and restricted analysis capabilities within its cloud platform (Sudlow et al., 2015). These infrastructures enable optimized information extraction through open code, improving transparency and reproducibility (Hope et al., 2023; Talozzi et al., 2023; Zalesky et al., 2010).

Clinical cohorts, typically small and variable in data quality, benefit particularly from acquisition standardization and harmonization tools. These approaches facilitate increased statistical power and enable complex model training to identify disease mechanisms and patterns. While training models on heterogeneous data present challenges in noise management and bias control, it can produce more adaptable and robust models (van der Voort et al., 2023). These models better capture real-world variability, improving generalization across diverse populations and enhancing predictive accuracy for personalized treatment. Recent developments of liquid neural networks, which adapt dynamically to changing data streams, show promise in improving model robustness—as demonstrated in adaptive digital twinning (Hasani et al., 2022).

Enabling Translation

Smooth data exchange in clinical workflows, while essential, remains far from routine (Mäkelä, Vitikainen, Laakso, & Mäkelä, 2015). However, current efforts aim to establish more integrated clinical research environments in digital health (Rieke et al., 2020). The Virtual Research Environment of the Berlin Institute of Health with Charité - Universitaetsmedizin Berlin20 exemplifies progress in radiological image data workflows. This environment enables efficient data cataloging, supports various working environments, and ensures interoperability with international data communities, including those within the European Open Science Cloud21 framework, such as the Virtual Brain Cloud22 and the Human Brain Project.23 Such environments enable seamless data migration across platforms while adhering to data governance best practices, including the EU's GDPR compliance. They support data management standards like BIDS and enable analysis, visualization, and clinical application and facilitate federated learning across institutions, enabling more comprehensive use of medical data (Bradshaw et al., 2023; Gorgolewski et al., 2017; Rieke et al., 2020).

Conclusion

Advances in TNN rely on state-of-the-art neuroimaging and stimulation technologies, leveraging the field's focus on precision and patient-centered medicine (Aerts et al., 2018, 2020; Engelhardt, Grittner, Krieg, & Picht, 2023; Fekonja et al., 2021, 2022; Forkel, Labache, Nachev, Thiebaut de Schotten, & Hesling, 2022; Shams et al., 2022, 2023; Thiebaut de Schotten & Forkel, 2022). While network neuroscience currently faces substantial challenges in establishing robust clinical applications, pivotal studies demonstrated that TNN principles can improve treatment outcomes (Fekonja et al., 2019, 2021; Matthews & Hampshire, 2016; Reisch et al., 2022; Salvalaggio et al., 2023; Schilling et al., 2021; Shams et al., 2022, 2023; Stam, 2014; Tuncer et al., 2021).

Knowledge dissemination and methodological advancement depend critically on consortia and data-sharing initiatives (Thiebaut de Schotten & Forkel, 2022). However, differences in data collection, preprocessing, and analysis methods represent ongoing challenges that need attention (Lioumis & Rosanova, 2022). This methodological heterogeneity, combined with limited clinical validation, highlights key developments needed for reliable clinical translation.

Scientific goals must maintain precise alignment with clinical realities. The field requires considerable developmental work to bridge the gap between research findings and clinical routine applications.

This is our call to action: We must address methodological challenges while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, standardizing methods, and ensuring strong ethical and legal framework to advance personalized medicine. The translation from promising research tool to validated clinical application requires versatile, interdisciplinary teams capable of integrating diverse expertise. Through systematic validation, methodological refinement, and evidence-based assessment of capabilities, these efforts will ultimately improve patient treatment and lead the field of network neuroscience into a new era of clinical relevance.
