This study examines how social context and decision-making affect neural activity in adults who stutter compared to controls using fMRI and behavioral tasks.

This study evaluates the reliability of task-based fMRI in the human spinal cord, finding poor reliability of BOLD responses across days but good reliability of autonomic responses.

This paper introduces HARSI, a new method for estimating fiber orientation distribution functions in fixed primate brains, showing it can capture complex fiber configurations comparable to HARDI.

This study assesses the reliability of resting-state functional connectivity in the human spinal cord, finding reliable connectivity between dorsal and ventral horns but poor reliability in segmental and within-hemicord connections.

This study examines rapid volumetric brain changes after acute psychosocial stress using MRI and finds significant group-by-time interactions in grey matter volume and associations with stress measures.

The paper investigates the relationship between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and negative BOLD responses (NBR) in the human visual cortex, comparing them to positive BOLD responses (PBR) using multi-echo imaging techniques.

This paper develops automated methods for slice-specific z-shimming in spinal cord fMRI to improve signal quality and reproducibility.

This paper introduces a Multi-Echo dMRI method to improve SNR and reduce noise bias in post-mortem diffusion MRI, validated on a chimpanzee brain.
