Hierarchical cortical plasticity in congenital sight impairment

The paper examines hierarchical cortical plasticity in congenital sight impairment by comparing rod-only and typically developed visual systems, finding stability in early stages and compensatory reorganization in higher-order cortex.

Uncertain Precision: Neurobiological and Physiological Correlates of Conservative Confidence Bias

The paper investigates how sensory precision affects confidence in decision-making, finding systematic under-confidence in low-precision stimuli and linking it to neural and physiological factors.

Timing of selective basal ganglia white matter loss in Huntington's disease

The paper investigates WM loss in premanifest HD, finding early reductions in specific tracts 11 years before onset and correlations with motor scores.

Dynamics of cortical degeneration over a decade in Huntington's Disease

This study uses longitudinal MRI data from Huntington's Disease patients to show complex regional variations in cortical atrophy over time, with some areas showing accelerated atrophy after diagnosis.

Relating quantitative 7T MRI across cortical depths to cytoarchitectonics, gene expression and connectomics: a framework for tracking neurodegenerative disease

Activity or Connectivity? Evaluating neurofeedback training in Huntington’s disease

This study evaluates neurofeedback training in Huntington’s disease, finding that while it can guide brain activity regulation, there was no robust evidence of clinical benefit or transfer of learning.

Stability and sensitivity of structural connectomes: effect of thresholding and filtering and demonstration in neurodegeneration

The paper evaluates graph thresholding and streamline filtering methods for structural connectome construction in Huntington's disease, finding that SIFT2 filtering improves group difference detection and clinical correlations.

Assessment of Functional Connectome Construction Strategies in Neurodegeneration

This study compares functional connectome construction strategies in neurodegeneration, finding that principal component-based correction and weighted unthresholded networks best discriminate HD gene carriers from controls.

Quantitative MRI Provides Markers Of Intra-, Inter-Regional, And Age-Related Differences In Young Adult Cortical Microstructure

The paper uses quantitative MRI to map microstructural differences in young adult cortex, finding age-related increases in myelin markers and regional variations in tissue composition.

Metacognitive impairments extend perceptual decision making weaknesses in compulsivity

This study shows that compulsivity is linked to reduced metacognitive ability and slower perceptual decision making.
