Source-space EEG functional connectivity and prediction of cognition in Parkinsons disease: No added benefit of individualized head models over standard templates
Alina Tetereva, Grace Hall-McMaster, Nicola M. Slater, Abbie Harris, Reza Shoorangiz, Campbell J. Le Heron, Ross J. Keenan, Daniel J. Myall, Toni L. Pitcher, Ian J. Kirk, Wassilios G. Meissner, Tim Anderson, Tracy R. Melzer, Narun Pat, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
The paper evaluates if individualized head models improve source-space EEG functional connectivity predictions of cognition in Parkinson's disease, finding standard templates are sufficient.

Thalamic nuclei insights into Alzheimer's disease
Julie P. C. Vidal, Daniel J. Myall, Jérémie Pariente, Toni L. Pitcher, Reece P. Roberts, Erin E. Cawston, Campbell J. Le Heron, Tim Anderson, Catherine Morgan, Tracy R. Melzer, Ian J. Kirk, Lynette J. Tippett, Patrice Péran, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
The paper identifies thalamic volume reductions in Alzheimer's disease and shows their utility in classifying cognitive status and reclassifying patients.

The thalamic reuniens is associated with consolidation of non-spatial memory too
Jennifer J. Hamilton, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
This study shows that the thalamic reuniens is involved in non-spatial memory consolidation, as evidenced by increased Zif268 expression during remote recall in rats.

Anterior thalamic nuclei: A critical substrate for non-spatial paired-associate memory in rats
Jennifer J. Hamilton, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
This study shows that anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN) lesions in rats impair non-spatial paired-associate memory, suggesting a role in attention to stimulus-stimulus associations rather than spatial processing.

Bifurcating Neurons In The Anterior Thalamic Nuclei
Y Pei, S Tasananukorn, Mathieu Wolff, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
The paper identifies bifurcating neurons in the anterior thalamic nuclei that project to multiple distant brain regions, suggesting a role in coordinating memory-related structures.

Anterior thalamic nuclei neurons sustain memory
S.C. Barnett, Louise C. Parr‐Brownlie, Brook A. L. Perry, Calvin K. Young, Hollie E. Wicky, Stephanie M. Hughes, Neil McNaughton, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of anterior thalamic nuclei neurons improves spatial working memory in rats with MTT lesions by enhancing rhythmic activity and gene expression.

Cognitive tests that identify high risk of conversion to dementia in Parkinson's disease.
Daniel J. Myall, Kyla‐Louise Horne, Michael R. MacAskill, Leslie Livingston, Toni L. Pitcher, Tracy R. Melzer, Gert J. Geurtsen, Tim Anderson, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
The paper identifies key neuropsychological tests that predict dementia conversion in Parkinson's disease patients using logistic regression and elastic net methods.

Microstructural integrity of the major nuclei of the thalamus in Parkinson's disease
Nadia Borlase, Daniel J. Myall, Tracy R. Melzer, Leslie Livingston, Richard Watts, Ross J. Keenan, Michael R. MacAskill, Tim Anderson, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
The paper examines microstructural changes in thalamic nuclei across cognitive stages of Parkinson's disease and finds increased mean diffusivity correlates with cognitive decline, particularly in the lateral dorsal nucleus.

Nanopore sequencing of the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene in a New Zealand Parkinsons disease cohort
Oscar E.E. Graham, Toni L. Pitcher, Yusmiati Liau, Allison L. Miller, John C. Dalrymple‐Alford, Tim Anderson, Martin Alexander Kennedy
The paper uses nanopore sequencing to identify GBA variants in a Parkinson's disease cohort, finding several risk variants and a higher dementia prevalence among carriers.
