This study uses quantitative susceptibility mapping to analyze choroid plexus calcifications in UK Biobank participants, finding age-related increases and associations with various health conditions.

This paper develops a lifespan normative model of brain white matter microstructure using diffusion MRI data from 54,583 individuals, enabling detection of microstructural deviations in diseases like Alzheimer's and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

This paper introduces an asymmetry-aware tractometry framework to quantify left-right hemispheric asymmetries in white matter tracts and applies it to Alzheimer's Disease data to differentiate cognitive states.

SPECTRA improves white matter microstructure mapping by incorporating spatial resolution and adaptive error control in tractometry analysis.

This study evaluates how sample size and resolution affect tractometry's sensitivity and specificity in detecting dementia and amyloid-related effects in Alzheimer's disease.

This study uses diffusion MRI tractometry to identify localized white matter microstructural changes associated with stimulant misuse, finding distinct patterns for amphetamine use compared to cocaine use.

This study compares deterministic and probabilistic tractography methods for the left arcuate fasciculus across four datasets, finding probabilistic methods yield higher inter-subject shape similarity but may obscure subtle pathological variations.

The paper uses GWAS to identify genetic variants associated with corpus callosum morphometry and links them to cortical structure and neuropsychiatric disorders.

This study evaluates how different defacing algorithms affect brain-age prediction using 3D CNNs, finding significant differences in accuracy based on defacing methods.

This paper evaluates the reliability and compatibility of brain metrics from different FreeSurfer versions using test-retest data and finds low compatibility between newer and older versions for specific regions.

This study identifies 388 genetic associations with regional brain sulcal morphology using UK Biobank data, highlighting gene expression and eQTL patterns and providing a 3D visualization resource.

This study examines age and sex effects on white matter microstructure in 15,628 older adults using dMRI models, finding that advanced models like TDF and NODDI detect these effects most sensitively.

This study examines how exogenous sex hormones affect white matter aging in postmenopausal women using diffusion MRI data from the UK Biobank, finding steeper aging trajectories in hormone therapy users.
