MegaTrack: a framework for the anatomically accurate and time-efficient virtual dissection and analysis of large-scale tractography datasets

MegaTrack provides a framework for efficient and anatomically accurate analysis of large-scale tractography datasets, enabling rapid dissection and metric extraction with high reproducibility and reduced processing time.

Sexual dimorphism in the social behaviour of Cntnap2 KO mice correlates with disrupted synaptic connectivity and increased microglial activity in the anterior cingulate cortex of males

The paper identifies sex-specific social deficits in Cntnap2 KO mice, linked to reduced synaptic density and increased microglial activity in males.

Tissue Optimisation Strategies for High Quality Ex Vivo Diffusion Imaging

This paper develops an optimization strategy for ex vivo diffusion imaging in rodent brains to improve signal-to-noise ratio and reduce acquisition time.

Hypervoxels: A Multidimensional Framework For The Representation And Analysis Of Neuroimaging Data

This paper introduces hypervoxels to improve neuroimaging analysis by integrating spatial and anatomical information from diffusion MRI data, enhancing detection of white matter effects in ALS.

The missing pathway in current visuospatial processing models

The paper identifies a novel white matter pathway, the medial occipital longitudinal tract, connecting the parahippocampal place area to early visual cortex, suggesting it supports early visuospatial information encoding.

Tractography-based connectomes are dominated by false-positive connections

The paper evaluates tractography methods by analyzing a simulated dataset, finding that most algorithms generate many false-positive connections.
