This study uses 7T-fMRI to identify functional connectivity patterns in ALS patients that predict disease onset and progression, showing that disease-defining regions are not always the first behaviorally affected areas.

The paper investigates how age-related changes in cortical microstructure depend on proximity to veins in human brain regions using venous distance mapping and MRI data.

This study investigates age-related changes in cortical layer architecture and sensory function across species, finding layer-specific alterations in myelination and neuronal activity.

This study uses 7T-MRI and multimodal layer modeling to identify layer-specific pathology in early-stage ALS patients, revealing distinct iron and calcium accumulation patterns and their relationship to demyelination.

The paper characterizes age-related changes in microstructure of topographic maps in the primary motor cortex using MRI data from younger and older adults.

The paper uses 7T MRI to analyze 3D structural features in the human hand area of S1 and finds no topographic organization, unlike in some monkeys.
