This study examines M1 circuit dysfunction in MitoPark mice during progressive Parkinsonism, finding reduced cellular activity and impaired neuronal coactivation linked to motor deficits.

This study tracks white matter maturation in infants from birth to 6 months using dense diffusion tensor imaging, finding faster growth rates early on and similar trajectories when adjusted for gestational age.

This study evaluates how multiband and in-plane acceleration affect white matter microstructure analysis in older adults with varying cognitive status, finding both benefits and drawbacks in reliability and group differences.

The paper uses microendoscopic calcium imaging to study activity patterns of projection neurons in SMA and M1 of rhesus macaques during rest and arm movement.

The paper examines motion biases in fMRI studies of autism, showing that motion exclusion affects sample representativeness and introduces biases, and proposes a statistical framework to address these issues.

This study evaluates the impact of a sanitation intervention on enteric pathogen detection in soils in Maputo, finding a 15% reduction in pathogen presence but persistent contamination.

This paper introduces a framework called surface-based connectivity integration (SBCI) to analyze structural and functional brain connectivity by using the white surface and shows it creates reproducible biomarkers reflecting SC-FC similarity.

This study evaluates the impact of simultaneous multislice (SMS) acquisition on fMRI sensitivity and specificity, finding reduced slice leakage with split slice-GRAPPA and noise amplification with moderate acceleration factors.
