This study compares gradient echo and spin echo BOLD signals in human V1 cortex at 7 T, finding that spin echo improves spatial specificity but both techniques show reduced specificity toward the pial surface.

This study examines individual variability in human brain structural connectivity, finding higher variability in limbic regions and lower in sensorimotor areas, and proposes a model to predict cognition and generate individual brain maps.

This study links regional glymphatic dysfunction to SCA3 pathophysiology by showing impaired glymphatic markers and their correlation with disease severity.

This paper develops a deep learning method with uncertainty estimation to detect MRI artifacts in large imbalanced datasets, achieving high accuracy and outperforming previous approaches.

The paper introduces mrHARDIflow, a pipeline for preprocessing and analyzing multi-resolution diffusion MRI data, and applies it to study variability in the PRIME-DE database.

This study shows that dexmedetomidine increases seizure susceptibility in rats but not in mice, affecting hemodynamic and neurophysiological responses to stimulation.

This study shows that UNC5B in oligodendrocytes is essential for maintaining paranodal junction stability and myelin integrity in the mature CNS.

This study examines how different rTMS protocols affect neuronal responses to visual stimuli in cat area 18, finding a linear gain effect without altering functional selectivity.

This paper introduces a rat model of somatosensory stimulation-induced reflex seizures that occur without brain damage and can be used to study seizure mechanisms and drug responses.

The paper defines 60 fine-scaled retinotopically organized regions in V1, V2, and V3 using HCP data without retinotopy scans.

This study uses partial correlation analysis to show altered functional connectivity in amblyopia, with higher connectivity in para-foveal regions and reduced connectivity between isoeccentricity regions.

This paper shows that the magnitude PSF does not accurately represent the effects of k-space sampling and signal decay on spatial resolution in fMRI and proposes improved approximations.

The paper estimates the spatial specificity of BOLD fMRI responses using ocular dominance columns, finding PSF full-widths at half-maximum of 0.82 mm (SE) and 1.02 mm (GE).
