Comparative Systematic Analysis of Gray Matter BiophysicalModels on a Public Dataset

The paper compares four gray matter biophysical models on a public dataset, finding consistent parameter estimates and highlighting trade-offs in model complexity and robustness.

A Comprehensive Analysis Comparing Isotropic ADC to BOLD-fMRI: Sensitivity to Resting State Networks and Grey to White Matter Functional Connectivity

This study compares isotropic ADC-fMRI and BOLD-fMRI in detecting resting-state networks and grey-to-white matter connectivity, finding ADC more sensitive to structural grounding and functional coupling.

Microstructural correlates of white and gray matter in the healthy human brain: comparative analysis of diffusion biophysical models, inhomogeneous magnetization transfer, and macromolecular proton fraction

This study compares diffusion MRI and magnetization transfer metrics in healthy human brain tissue to understand their relationships with microstructural features like myelination and cell membrane properties.

Non-invasive prediction of conduction velocities in the human brain from MRI-derived microstructure features at 7 Tesla

This paper develops a whole-brain model to predict conduction velocity from MRI-derived microstructural features, explaining 29% of variance in neurophysiological conduction velocity.

Somatosensory-evoked response induces extensive diffusivity and kurtosis changes associated with neural activity in rodents

The paper investigates MD and MK changes in rat brains during somatosensory stimulation, finding they reflect neural activity with higher sensitivity than BOLD.

Human gray matter microstructure mapped using Neurite Exchange Imaging (NEXI) on a clinical scanner

The paper estimates NEXI parameters in human cortex using a clinical MRI scanner and evaluates their repeatability and relationship to myelin water fraction.
