Widely Used Calculations of Intracranial Volume Provide Inaccurate Estimates in Developmental Cohorts: Evidence and Solutions for the Neuroimaging Community

This study shows that FreeSurfer's eTIV estimates are inaccurate in developmental cohorts and proposes solutions with newer versions.

Structural Determinants of Signal Speed: A Multimodal Investigation of Face Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder

The paper introduces a novel metric, estimated axonal latency, to measure neuronal processing speed in autism spectrum disorder using MRI and EEG data.

Diffusion MRI microstructure markers of changes in the human brain across the lifespan

This study uses 3T-CSD to analyze diffusion MRI microstructure across the lifespan, finding age-related changes in signal fractions across brain regions.

The NTU-DSI-122 template as a flexible platform for fiber orientation distribution registration of diffusion microstructure into stereotaxic space

This paper introduces a novel FOD-based registration method using the NTU-DSI-122 template, showing improved reliability and accuracy compared to intensity-based registration for dMRI data.

Widespread Associations between Behavioral Metrics and Brain Microstructure in ASD Suggest Age Mediates Subtypes of ASD

This study identifies widespread associations between behavioral metrics and brain microstructure in ASD, suggesting age-related changes may drive different behavioral subtypes.

Epigenetic age acceleration predicts subject-specific white matter degeneration in the human brain.

This study links accelerated epigenetic age (GrimAge) to white matter degeneration in the human brain using diffusion MRI and longitudinal data.

Conduction Velocity, G-ratio, and Extracellular Water as Microstructural Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder

This study uses MRI metrics to identify microstructural differences in myelin and axons between ASD and neurotypical adolescents, finding increased extracellular water and decreased g-ratio and conduction velocity.

Developmental Ramifications of the Screen Age: Associations between Screen Time and Neural Maturation in a Massive Adolescent Cohort

This study examines how screen time affects neural maturation in adolescents using brain MRI data, finding mixed effects on brain structure and microstructure.
