A harmonized phantom MRI quality control framework identifies sources of longitudinal and multi-site variability

This paper develops a harmonized MRI QC framework using phantoms to identify sources of variability across field strengths and sites, showing that field strength alone does not fully characterize MRI performance.

Loss of FMRP leads to translationally relevant functional connectivity differences in a rat model of Fragile X Syndrome

The paper investigates how loss of FMRP in a rat model of FXS affects functional connectivity over development and whether early lovastatin treatment can normalize it.

Chronic hypertension and perfusion deficits conjointly affect disease outcome after tPA treatment in a rodent model of thromboembolic stroke

This study shows that chronic hypertension and perfusion deficits together worsen outcomes after tPA treatment in a rodent stroke model.

Validating models of TMS effects with concurrent TMS/fMRI

This study validates models of TMS-induced brain activation using concurrent TMS/fMRI in healthy volunteers, finding that electric field magnitude best predicts neuronal activation.

A validation approach for computational models of TMSinduced brain currents using motor evoked potentials

This paper validates computational models of TMS-induced brain currents using motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in healthy subjects, finding that current direction relative to cortical anatomy improves model performance.

Distinct structure-function relationships across cortical regions and connectivity scales in the rat brain

The paper examines structure-function relationships in the rat brain across different connectivity scales and finds distinct correlations between functional and structural connectivity at macro and meso scales.

Skill acquisition increases myelination and strengthens functional connectivity in the sensorimotor circuit of the adult rat

This study shows that skill acquisition in adult rats increases myelination and strengthens functional connectivity in sensorimotor circuits, correlating with improved performance.

The power of language: functional brain network topology of deaf and hearing in relation to sign language experience

This study compares functional brain network shifts between deaf and hearing individuals, finding increased auditory-visual connectivity and network backbone changes in deaf people related to sign language experience.

Outcome of TMS-based motor mapping depends on TMS current direction

This study shows that TMS-based motor mapping results vary depending on the direction of the induced current, with lateral-to-medial currents aligning better with fMRI motor areas.
