Complementary MR measures of white matter and their relation to cardiovascular health and cognition

The paper identifies latent factors underlying white matter metrics using MRI data from a cohort of healthy adults and links these factors to cardiovascular health and cognitive performance.

Deuterium Metabolic Imaging Phenotypes Mouse Glioblastoma Heterogeneity Through Glucose Turnover Kinetics

This study uses deuterium metabolic imaging to characterize metabolic heterogeneity in mouse glioblastoma models, linking glucose turnover kinetics to tumor phenotype differences and invasion capacity.

Efficient PCA denoising of spatially correlated MRI data

This paper develops and tests two new PCA denoising strategies for spatially correlated MRI data, showing improved performance over traditional MP-PCA in both simulated and real-world scenarios.

In vivo Correlation Tensor MRI reveals microscopic kurtosis in the human brain on a clinical 3T scanner

This paper introduces Correlation Tensor MRI (CTI) on a clinical 3T scanner to resolve kurtosis sources in the human brain, finding that microscopic kurtosis significantly contributes to total diffusional kurtosis in gray and white matter.

Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging in the Diffusion Imaging in Python Project

This paper implements Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) in the DIPY project, demonstrating its utility for microstructural analysis and tractography in brain imaging.

Unraveling micro-architectural modulations in neural tissue upon ischemia by Correlation Tensor MRI

This paper introduces Correlation Tensor MRI (CTI) to improve detection of ischemia in neural tissue by analyzing diffusion correlations, showing enhanced sensitivity and specificity in grey and white matter.

Applying biophysical models to understand the role of white matter in cognitive development

This study applies biophysical models to diffusion MRI data from children to assess white matter properties and their relationship with reading skill.

Sensory attenuation is related to dopamine dose in Parkinson’s disease

This study investigates how dopamine levels in Parkinson’s disease patients affect sensory attenuation during voluntary movements, finding a negative correlation with motor severity and a positive correlation with dopamine dose.

Strong and specific associations between cardiovascular risk factors and brain white matter micro- and macro-structure in health ageing

This study examines the associations between cardiovascular risk factors and white matter structure in aging, finding that systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate independently impact white matter health.

Physical activity predicts population-level age-related differences in frontal white matter

The paper shows that physical activity preserves frontal white matter integrity and reduces age-related slowing in a population-based sample.

Age-Related Delay in Visual and Auditory Evoked Responses is Mediated by White- and Gray-matter Differences

The paper investigates age-related differences in visual and auditory evoked responses using MEG and MRI, finding distinct structural correlates for each type of delay.

Optimization of a free water elimination two-compartment model for diffusion tensor imaging.
