Integration of Neuroimaging and Histopathology in a Squirrel Monkey Model of Spontaneous Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities

This study uses MRI and histopathology in squirrel monkeys to link R2* changes with CAA severity and ARIA-related tissue injury, supporting early detection and treatment strategies.

Short T1 Fraction as a Marker of Myelin Content: Evidence from Postmortem MRI and Histology

This study investigates the short-T1 fraction as a biomarker of myelin content using postmortem MRI and histology, showing strong correlations with myelin water imaging and histological markers.

Genome writing to dissect consequences of SVA retrotransposon disease X-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism

The paper genomically rewrote a mouse Taf1 allele with a human XDP patient-derived TAF1 allele, revealing that intronic SVA retrotransposons reduce TAF1 levels and cause neurodegeneration.

Open-source versatile 3D-print animal conditioning platform design for in-vivo preclinical brain imaging in awake mice and anesthetized mice and rats

The paper introduces an open-source 3D-printable animal conditioning platform for preclinical brain imaging in awake and anesthetized mice and rats, demonstrating its use across multiple imaging modalities.

Locus coeruleus activity improves cochlear implant performance

This study shows that locus coeruleus activity predicts and enhances cochlear implant performance in deafened rats through behavioral and neural responses.

Oxytocin Neurons Enable Social Transmission of Maternal Behavior

The paper shows that social interactions between mother mice and virgin mice activate oxytocin neurons, enabling the virgins to acquire maternal behavior through social transmission.
