Cellular basis for cortical network aging in primates

The paper integrates spatial transcriptomics and cortical networks in macaques to identify cellular correlates of aging, finding age-related declines in transmodal networks linked to inhibitory and glial cells.

MRI signatures of cortical microstructure in human development align with oligodendrocyte cell-type expression

The paper uses MRI to show age-related changes in cortical microstructure that align with oligodendrocyte gene expression during development.

The developing hippocampus: Microstructural evolution through childhood and adolescence

This study investigates age-related changes in hippocampal microstructure using diffusion MRI in children and adolescents, finding significant developmental changes in neurites, soma, and mean diffusivity.

Developmental differences in canonical cortical networks: insights from microstructure-informed tractography

This study examines age-related changes in microstructure-informed cortical networks using diffusion MRI data from 8-18 year olds, finding increased global efficiency and mean strength in specific networks.

White matter microstructure in face and body networks predicts facial expression and body posture perception across development

The paper examines how white matter microstructure in face and body networks relates to perceptual development in children and adolescents.

Impact of b-value on estimates of apparent fibre density

This study examines how different b-value settings affect apparent fibre density estimates in diffusion MRI, finding that higher b-values improve accuracy in capturing intra-axonal signal properties and age-related microstructural changes.

Dimensionality Reduction of Diffusion MRI Measures for Improved Tractometry of the Human Brain

This paper reduces the dimensionality of diffusion MRI measures to identify biologically interpretable components that capture age-related changes in white matter microstructure.
