This study shows mechanical forces during cortical folding guide the formation of short association fibers in the brain, explaining their U-shaped trajectories and prevalence between gyri.

The paper measures residual stress in brain tissue using MRI and finite element simulations, finding compressive stresses in grey matter and anisotropic tensile stresses in white matter aligned with axon orientation.

This study uses MRI data to compare cortical growth patterns in fetal and preterm brains, revealing distinct developmental trajectories and implications for cortical organisation.

This paper estimates local cortical growth patterns in preterm infants using aMSM, revealing regional and temporal differences in expansion linked to folding and injury detection.

This paper introduces a new regularization method for cortical surface alignment in brain imaging, improving the robustness and biological interpretability of multi-modal data alignment.
