This paper creates a 3D histological atlas of nigrosomes in the substantia nigra aligned to MNI152 space, enabling MRI analysis of these structures in Parkinson's disease.

The paper examines how structural brain features relate to functional activity across individuals and brain regions, finding distinct mechanisms for intra- and inter-individual variability in alpha power.

This study evaluates how protocol and hardware differences affect pooling quantitative MRI data across sites in healthy aging studies, finding both benefits and drawbacks for analysis outcomes.

This study compares motor cortex microstructure in humans and chimpanzees using qMRI, finding conserved high myelin and iron content in the hand-knob but enhanced rightward lateralization in humans.

This study uses ultra-high-field fMRI to reveal layer-specific responses in the human spinal cord during heat-pain stimulation, identifying phasic and tonic response components in dorsal horn layers.

This study maps chimpanzee brain development using MRI and histology, finding differences in myelination and iron accumulation compared to humans.

The paper introduces a method to map short association fibre connectivity in the human brain using diffusion MRI, showing SAF preserve cortical functional topology and enabling non-invasive insights into cortico-cortical integration.

This study uses high-resolution MRI to show that thin and thick stripes in human V2 have lower myelination compared to surrounding gray matter.

The paper links quantitative MRI parameters to cell type-specific gene expression in human neocortex, showing associations with GABA- and glutamatergic neurons and other cell types.

The paper introduces a method to estimate local errors in multi-parameter mapping (MPM) neuroimaging data, improving group-level sensitivity by accounting for noise and artefacts.

The paper develops and validates a calibration-based correction model for MTsat maps in postmortem 7T MRI data of chimpanzee brains to address B1+ inhomogeneities.

This paper introduces a method to estimate the orientation-independent R2* (R2,iso*) from multi-echo MRI data, showing it works best with long echo times but fails with typical in-vivo protocols.

The paper links MRI relaxation rate in substantia nigra to iron concentration in dopaminergic neurons, enabling early Parkinson's disease detection.
