The within-subject stability of cortical thickness, surface area, and brain volumes across one year

This study evaluates the stability of brain structure metrics over one year and identifies factors affecting their reliability.

The intra-individual reliability of 1H-MRS measurement in the anterior cingulate cortex across one year

This study assesses the intra-individual reliability of 1H-MRS measurements in the anterior cingulate cortex over one year, finding that metabolite levels are reliably quantified with small variability.

Considerations on brain age predictions from repeatedly sampled data across time

This paper evaluates brain age predictions across repeated time points and finds small within-subject correlations, field strength influence, and model biases.

The Bergen Breakfast Scanning Club dataset: a deep brain imaging dataset

The paper introduces a deep brain imaging dataset from the Bergen Breakfast Scanning Club project, detailing data acquisition and preprocessing protocols for three subjects over one year.

Why Blood Pressure and Body Mass Should be Controlled for in Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies.

This study investigates how blood pressure and body mass affect variability in resting-state fMRI results and finds they contribute to between-subject and between-group differences in BOLD signals and connectivity.

Glutamatergic modulation of auditory cortex connectivity with attentional brain networks in unpredictable perceptual environment

The paper examines how glutamate levels in Heschl's gyrus relate to functional connectivity in auditory networks during unpredictable auditory stimulation.

Time-of-day effects in resting-state fMRI: changes in Effective Connectivity and BOLD signal

The paper investigates time-of-day effects on resting-state fMRI, finding significant hemodynamic changes but no effective connectivity shifts.

Dynamic up- and down-regulation of the default (DMN) and extrinsic (EMN) mode networks during alternating task-on and task-off periods

The paper examines how the default mode network (DMN) and extrinsic mode network (EMN) dynamically change during task-on and task-off periods using fMRI data.
