Generalising XTRACT tractography protocols across common macaque brain templates
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Feb 23. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02760-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-human primates are extensively used in neuroscience research as models of the human brain, with the rhesus macaque being a prominent example. We have previously introduced a set of tractography protocols (XTRACT) for reconstructing 42 corresponding white matter (WM) bundles in the human and the macaque brain and have shown cross-species comparisons using such bundles as WM landmarks. Our original XTRACT protocols were developed using the F99 macaque brain template. However, additional macaque template brains are becoming inc...

Altered DTI scalars in the hippocampus are associated with morphological and structural changes after traumatic brain injury
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Feb 21. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02758-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlunt and diffuse injury is a highly prevalent form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) which can result in microstructural alterations in the brain. The blunt impact on the brain can affect the immediate contact region but can also affect the vulnerable regions like hippocampus, leading to functional impairment and long-lasting cognitive deficits. The hippocampus of the moderate weight drop injured male rats was longitudinally assessed for microstructural changes using in vivo MR imaging from 4 h to Day 30 post-injury (PI). The DTI...

Researchers' sex/gender identity influences how sex/gender question is investigated in neuroscience: an example from an OHBM meeting
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Feb 16. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02750-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGender inequality and diversity in STEM is a challenging field of research. Although the relation between the sex/gender of the researcher and the scientific research practices has been previously examined, less interest has been demonstrated towards the relation between sex/gender of the researcher and the way sex/gender as a variable is explored. Here, we examine, from a neurofeminist perspective, both questions: whether sex/gender identity is related to the examination of sex/gender as a variable and whether different approac...

Large-scale functional network connectivity mediates the association between nigral neuromelanin hypopigmentation and motor impairment in Parkinson's disease
This study included 68 idiopathic PD patients and 32 age-, sex- and education level-matched healthy controls who underwent neuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, and motor assessments. SN integrity was measured using the subregional contrast-to-noise ratio calculated from neuromelanin-sensitive MRI. Resting-state FC maps were obtained based on the independent component analysis. Subsequently, we performed partial correlation and mediation analyses in SN degeneration, network disruption, and motor impairment for PD patients. We found significantly decreased neuromelanin within SN and widely...

Decoding auditory deprivation: resting-state fMRI insights into deafness and brain plasticity
In this study, involving 35 deaf individuals and 35 hearing controls, we utilized resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to delve into the depths of functional connectivity nuances distinguishing deaf individuals from their hearing counterparts. Leading our analytical approach was the application of multi-voxel pattern analysis (fc-MVPA). This advanced method provided a refined perspective, revealing amplified neural connectivity within the deaf population. Notably, regions such as the left postcentral somatosensory association cortex, the anterior and posterior corridors of the left superior tempora...
