From Body Hulls to Musculoskeletal Models: Personalized Inertial Parameter Estimation

This paper develops a method to estimate personalized musculoskeletal inertial parameters using body hulls from smartphone images, improving accuracy over generic models in gait analysis.

Genetic and environmental contributions to ReHo and fALFF in early adolescence vary across brain regions

The paper examines genetic and environmental influences on local brain function measures (ReHo and fALFF) in adolescents, finding region-specific effects and temporal stability across two time points.

Lifespan reference curves for harmonizing multi-site regional brain white matter metrics from diffusion MRI

The paper creates lifespan reference curves for white matter microstructure using diffusion MRI data from multiple datasets and validates them with ApoE4 risk factor analysis.

Brain-Age Prediction: Systematic Evaluation of Site Effects, and Sample Age Range and Size

The paper evaluates factors affecting brain-age prediction models using structural neuroimaging data from 35,683 individuals, finding optimal model performance with no site harmonization, age-binning, and a sample size of over 1,600.

The Queensland Twin Adolescent Brain Project, a longitudinal study of adolescent brain development

The paper describes the Queensland Twin Adolescent Brain (QTAB) dataset, which includes multimodal neuroimaging, cognitive, and mental health data from adolescent twins over two sessions.

Multi T1-weighted contrast imaging and T1 mapping with Compressed sensing FLAWS at 3T

This paper optimizes the FLAWS MRI sequence with compressed sensing to reduce acquisition time while maintaining image quality and enables T1-weighted imaging and mapping at 3T.

Normative Modeling of Brain Morphometry Across the Lifespan using CentileBrain: Algorithm Benchmarking and Model Optimization

The paper benchmarks and optimizes a normative modeling framework for brain morphometry across the lifespan using MFPR, showing excellent accuracy and stability.

Dissociable Cellular and Genetic Mechanisms of Cortical Thinning at Different Life Stages

The paper examines age-related variations in cortical thickness across different life stages using gene expression data from a large neuroimaging dataset.

Greater male than female variability in regional brain structure across the lifespan

The paper analyzes sex differences in brain structure variability across the lifespan using a large dataset, finding greater male variability in subcortical volumes, cortical surface area, and thickness in most regions.

The reliability and heritability of cortical folds and their genetic correlations across hemispheres.

This study estimates the reliability and heritability of cortical folds using MRI data, finding moderate to high heritability for most sulcal metrics and regional variation in genetic influences.

Brain Aging in Major Depressive Disorder: Results from the ENIGMA Major Depressive Disorder working group

This paper examines brain aging in major depressive disorder (MDD) using a large dataset, finding that MDD patients show increased brain age differences compared to controls.

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation and its association with subcortical volumes: findings from the ENIGMA Epigenetics Working Group

The paper reports epigenome-wide meta-analyses of blood DNA methylation with subcortical brain volumes, identifying significant associations with hippocampal volume and potential biological mechanisms.

Non-Linear Realignment Improves Hippocampus Subfield Segmentation

This paper improves hippocampus subfield segmentation by using non-linear realignment to reduce movement artefacts and enhance image quality in MR scans.

Do Candidate Genes Affect the Brain’s White Matter Microstructure? Large-Scale Evaluation of 6,165 Diffusion MRI Scans

The paper evaluates 15 candidate SNPs associated with psychiatric disorders using 6,165 diffusion MRI scans, finding no significant associations after correction for multiple testing.
