Postnatal maturation of putamen microstructure accompanies topographic white matter connectivity and altered circuits in autism

The paper examines the postnatal development of putamen microstructure and white matter connectivity in autism, finding preserved organization with increased prefrontal connectivity.

Field-Correcting GRAPPA (FCG): a technique to correctspatiotemporal-varying phase errors in Echo Planar Imaging

This paper introduces FCG, a technique that corrects spatiotemporal-varying phase errors in EPI using an MLP, improving image quality on high-performance systems.

Multiphasic myelination and dendritic growth modulate qMRI signals in human visual cortex.

The paper investigates myelin development in human visual cortex using qMRI and immunohistochemistry, finding distinct myelination and R1 trajectories across development.

Hierarchical microstructural tissue growth of the gray and white matter of human visual cortex during the first year of life

The paper measures microstructural tissue growth in human visual cortex during the first year of life using MRI, finding hierarchical development patterns across visual processing streams.

How infant brains fold: Sulcal deepening is linked to development of sulcal span, thickness, curvature, and microstructure

This study shows that postnatal sulcal deepening in infant brains is nonuniform and depends on prenatal emergence timing, tissue microstructure, and macroanatomical factors.

Limitations of line-scan MRI for directly measuring neural activity

This paper investigates noise in line-scan MRI and shows that temporal fluctuations can mimic neural responses, highlighting limitations in detecting the DIANA response.

Measuring brain beats: cardiac-aligned fast fMRI signals

The paper measures cardiac-aligned fast fMRI signals to assess blood and CSF flow dynamics in the brain using SMS acquisition methods.

White matter myelination during early infancy is explained by spatial gradients and myelin content at birth

The paper uses MRI data to show that white matter myelination in infants follows spatial gradients and increases with age, as indicated by R1 values.

Infants' cortex undergoes microstructural growth coupled with myelination

The paper shows that infant cortex undergoes microstructural growth linked to myelination, with visual areas developing hierarchically.
