This study uses resting-state fMRI and spDCM to show that postpartum mothers have disinhibited brain connectivity in key regions, suggesting more flexible and responsive behavior in caregiving and cognition.

This study investigates how hemodynamic and metabolic brain connectivity relate to cognitive function using simultaneous FDG-fPET/fMRI and partial least squares analyses, revealing distinct cognitive associations for each modality.

The paper introduces an open dataset comparing three FDG-fPET radiotracer administration protocols using simultaneous BOLD-fMRI scanning.

This study uses simultaneous high-temporal resolution FDG-fPET and fMRI to compare metabolic and haemodynamic connectivity in the human brain, finding that metabolic connectivity is non-ergodic and differs from static FDG-PET covariance.

This study investigates the relationship between motherhood and functional brain connectivity in older adults, finding that motherhood is associated with brain connectivity patterns opposite to age-related decline.

This study shows that individual differences in haemoglobin levels affect BOLD fMRI functional connectivity and its relationship with cognition, with sex-specific patterns observed.

This study uses QSM to assess iron dysregulation in the motor cortex of limb-onset ALS patients over six months, finding increased QSM in lumbar-onset patients compared to controls and no significant change over time.

This study compares independent component analysis (ICA) and general linear modelling (GLM) for analyzing task and resting state fPET data, showing both methods can identify task-related brain activation.

The paper shows that fMRI timescales correlate with structural connectivity strength in humans, mirroring findings in mice.

This paper introduces Arcana, a framework for creating adaptable neuroimaging workflows that can be reused across different computing environments and data sources.

The paper compares continuous infusion and bolus plus infusion radiotracer protocols for PET to improve temporal resolution, achieving 16-second glucose response mapping in the human brain.

This study finds that the number of children parented correlates with cortical thickness and verbal memory in older adults, with distinct patterns in mothers and fathers.

This study tracks iron concentration and atrophy in dentate nuclei of Friedreich ataxia patients over two years, finding increased iron accumulation and stage-dependent changes.

This study combines simultaneous BOLD-fMRI and FDG-PET to measure task-evoked neuronal metabolism in the human visual cortex with high temporal resolution.

This study improves automated vein segmentation in MRI by combining susceptibility-weighted images, quantitative susceptibility maps, and a vein atlas into a composite vein image, showing significant performance gains.
