This study investigates DTI-ALPS as a marker of glymphatic flow in neurodegeneration and finds it primarily reflects white matter diffusion dispersion and microstructural heterogeneity rather than glymphatic flow.

This study links human brain functional connectivity to neurotransmitter systems using resting-state fMRI and MEG across multiple cohorts, showing consistent patterns and clinical relevance.

This study links brain microstructure to neural dynamics by showing that white and grey matter properties significantly correlate with propagation delays measured via MEG.

This study uses dMRS to show IFN-β increases thalamic tCho diffusivity and age is linked to lower tNAA diffusivity and higher tCho/tCr in white matter.

This study finds elevated lactate and stable post-exercise creatine in MS patients' anterior cingulate cortex, suggesting altered energy metabolism linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.

The paper investigates the association between obesity and two brain systems using MRI data from UK Biobank participants, finding distinct structural and genetic relationships.

This study tracks microstructural changes following memory reactivation during sleep and links them to the emergence of behavioural benefits over time.

This study demonstrates improved spatio-temporal resolution in measuring visually evoked brain fields using optically pumped magnetometers compared to SQUIDs.

This study analyzes structural brain asymmetries in ADHD using 39 datasets, finding small effects that do not meet study-wide significance thresholds.

This study uses machine learning to show that structural brain anomalies in ADHD are similar in children and adults, supporting continuity of the disorder's pathophysiology.

This study meta-analyzes MRI biomarkers of myelin to compare their correlation with histology, finding MT and relaxometry-based measures have the highest correlations.

This study uses REACT to analyze how methylphenidate affects dopaminergic and noradrenergic circuits in the brain and links these effects to behavioral responses in a reinforcement-learning task.

This study compares structural brain differences across ADHD, ASD, and OCD using MRI data from multiple cohorts, finding disorder-specific alterations in brain volume and cortical thickness.
