The paper validates 2D histology for representing axon radius distributions and conduction velocities using 3D reconstructions of rat axons and applies this to human data.

The paper quantifies iron and neuromelanin in dopaminergic neurons across chimpanzee lifespan, finding stable iron-to-neuromelanin ratios and no evidence of saturation or increased toxicity with age.

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.

This study presents the first spatial transcriptomic data from a chimpanzee brain, mapping gene expression and cell types in the frontal pole and integrating with single-nucleus transcriptomics to explore evolutionary differences.

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

The paper analyzes human white matter fibers to compare thickness and myelination between long and short fibers, finding shorter fibers are thinner and less myelinated but have similar g-ratio.

This study investigates the neuroinfectiology of Bcbva in wild chimpanzees, finding it causes meningitis and breaches the blood-brain barrier more effectively than B. anthracis.

The paper challenges the view that axonal degeneration in MS results from immune-mediated damage by proposing that myelin itself increases axonal degeneration risk under inflammatory conditions.

The paper measures magnetization-transfer (MT) and relaxometry parameters in fixed marmoset brain tissue and compares them with histology to assess their correlation with myelin and iron content.

The paper shows that Nitarsone prevents Aβ-induced CREB inactivation and synaptic loss in AD models by blocking Jacob-mediated signalosome assembly.

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 introduces a CNN-based method to estimate MRI-visible effective axon radius using light microscopy data, showing higher accuracy than traditional arithmetic mean radius estimates.

This paper uses quantitative MRI to non-invasively map the human lateral geniculate nucleus and its subdivisions, showing that T1 contrast reflects cyto- and myeloarchitectonic differences.

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

This paper develops a method combining deep learning and active contours for automated segmentation of neural cell bodies from light-sheet microscopy data.
