The paper investigates structural connectivity of OFC-NAcc pathways and their associations with psychopathological traits using diffusion imaging and tractography in a healthy population.

This study uses longitudinal normative modelling of white matter fractional anisotropy in the EU-AIMS LEAP cohort to show individual deviations in white matter development are linked to clinical variation in autism, with significant cross-sectional and longitudinal brain-behaviour associations.

MegaTrack provides a framework for efficient and anatomically accurate analysis of large-scale tractography datasets, enabling rapid dissection and metric extraction with high reproducibility and reduced processing time.

This study shows that including zero-phase-delay connectivity improves the reliability and prognostic ability of functional connectivity metrics in neural populations.

This study evaluates the reliability and correspondence of ultra-low-field MRI morphometry to high-field MRI, showing high reliability and correspondence across scan resolutions and contrasts.

The paper investigates the relationship between glutamate and GABA gene-sets, autism symptoms, and cortical thickness using data from the EU-AIMS LEAP cohort.

The paper identifies patterns of neural variability in autism using fMRI across tasks, finding greater global connectivity deviations and similar spatial patterns in autistic individuals compared to controls.

This study uses diffusion MRI to detect neuroinflammation in vivo in rats after a lipopolysaccharide challenge, showing diffusivity changes correlate with microglial morphology.

This paper develops an optimization strategy for ex vivo diffusion imaging in rodent brains to improve signal-to-noise ratio and reduce acquisition time.

The paper identifies a multimodal brain pattern associated with autism by integrating gray and white matter morphology data and linking it to clinical symptoms.

This paper introduces hypervoxels to improve neuroimaging analysis by integrating spatial and anatomical information from diffusion MRI data, enhancing detection of white matter effects in ALS.

The paper identifies a novel white matter pathway, the medial occipital longitudinal tract, connecting the parahippocampal place area to early visual cortex, suggesting it supports early visuospatial information encoding.

The paper investigates sex differences in autism using resting-state fMRI data, finding significant effects in brain connectivity and replicating some findings in independent samples.

The paper identifies structural covariation alterations in autism using VBM and links these patterns to core autism symptoms through canonical correlation analysis.

The paper identifies atypical brain asymmetry in autism as a potential neurophenotype for stratification, showing individualized patterns linked to symptom severity and language delay.

This study investigates reward processing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and finds generalized hypoactivity in the ventral striatum during anticipation of both social and monetary rewards.

This study evaluates DWI-derived scalar images for T1-DWI co-registration, finding that anisotropic power (AP) images provide the most consistent and reliable registration across modalities.

The paper evaluates tractography methods by analyzing a simulated dataset, finding that most algorithms generate many false-positive connections.
