A Core Pattern of Cerebellar and Brainstem Degeneration and Reduced Cerebrocerebellar Structural Covariance in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3): MRI Volumetrics from ENIGMA-Ataxia

This study uses MRI volumetrics to analyze cerebellar and brainstem degeneration in SCA3, finding consistent atrophy patterns and reduced cerebrocerebellar covariance.

Behavioral Classification of Sequential Neural Activity Using Time Varying Recurrent Neural Networks

This paper introduces Time-Varying RNNs (TV-RNNs) for early classification of neural activity sequences, showing improved accuracy and earlier detection compared to standard RNNs in mouse and human motor task data.

Increased Neurite Orientation-Dispersion and Density in the TgCRND8 Mouse Model of Amyloidosis: Inverse Relation with Functional Connectome Clustering and Modulation by Interleukin-6

The paper uses dMRI to study how Aβ and IL6 affect microstructure in TgCRND8 mice, finding increased neurite density and dispersion linked to reduced functional network organization.

Small effect size leads to reproducibility failure in resting-state fMRI studies

This paper shows that small effect sizes in resting-state fMRI studies lead to reproducibility issues, even after multiple comparison corrections, and recommends meta-analysis of un-thresholded data for better results.
