contents The joint analysis of multimodal neuroimaging data is critical in the field of brain research because it reveals complex interactive relationships between neurobiological structures and functions. In this study, we focus on investigating the effects of structural imaging (SI) features, including white matter micro-structure integrity (WMMI) and cortical thickness, on the whole brain functional connectome (FC) network. To achieve this goal, we propose a network-based vector-on-matrix regression model to characterize the FC-SI association patterns. We have developed a novel multi-level dense bipartite and clique subgraph extraction method to identify which subsets of spatially specific SI features intensively influence organized FC sub-networks. The proposed method can simultaneously identify highly correlated structural-connectomic association patterns and suppress false positive findings while handling millions of potential interactions. We apply our method to a multimodal neuroimaging dataset of 4,242 participants from the UK Biobank to evaluate the effects of whole-brain WMMI and cortical thickness on the resting-state FC. The results reveal that the WMMI on corticospinal tracts and inferior cerebellar peduncle significantly affect functional connections of sensorimotor, salience, and executive sub-networks with an average correlation of 0.81 (p<0.001).
