Neural mechanisms of handedness for precision drawing: hand-dependent engagement of cortical networks for bimanual control

Namarta Kapil, Taewon Kim, Samah Gassass, Ruiwen Zhou, Alexandre R. Carter, Ian G. Dobbins, Lei Liu, Mark P. McAvoy, Muriah D. Wheelock, Yong Wang, David M. Brogan, Christopher J. Dy, Susan E. Mackinnon, Benjamin Allen Philip

This study uses fMRI to investigate neural mechanisms of handedness during precision drawing, finding differential engagement of motor and parietal networks for left-hand versus right-hand tasks.

Reducing individual differences in task fMRI with OGRE (One-step General Registration and Extraction) preprocessing

Mark P. McAvoy, Lei Liu, Ruiwen Zhou, Benjamin Allen Philip

The paper compares preprocessing methods for task fMRI data, finding that OGRE reduces inter-individual variability and increases activation detection in primary motor cortex compared to FSL and fMRIPrep.

Brain aerobic glycolysis and resilience in Alzheimer disease

Manu S. Goyal, Tyler Blazey, Nicholas V. Metcalf, Mark P. McAvoy, Jeremy F. Strain, Maryam Rahmani, Tony J. Durbin, Chengjie Xiong, Tammie L.S. Benzinger, John C. Morris, Marcus E. Raichle, Andrei G. Vlassenko

This study finds that preserved aerobic glycolysis in the brain is linked to resilience against Alzheimer's disease pathology, while white matter hyperintensity burden is associated with reduced youthful AG patterns.
