Using GPUs to accelerate computational diffusion MRI: from microstructure estimation to tractography and connectomes (2018)
Journal Article

The great potential of computational diffusion MRI (dMRI) relies on indirect inference of tissue microstructure and brain connections, since modelling and tractography frameworks map diffusion measurements to neuroanatomical features. This mapping ho... Read More about Using GPUs to accelerate computational diffusion MRI: from microstructure estimation to tractography and connectomes.

How do spatially distinct frequency specific MEG networks emerge from one underlying structural connectome? The role of the structural eigenmodes (2018)
Journal Article

Functional networks obtained from magnetoencephalography (MEG) from different frequency bands show distinct spatial patterns. It remains to be elucidated how distinct spatial patterns in MEG networks emerge given a single underlying structural networ...

Automated quality control for within and between studies diffusion MRI data using a non-parametric framework for movement and distortion correction (2018)
Journal Article

Diffusion MRI data can be affected by hardware and subject-related artefacts that can adversely affect downstream analyses. Therefore, automated quality control (QC) is of great importance, especially in large population studies where visual QC is no...

Extending the Human Connectome Project across ages: imaging protocols for the Lifespan Development and Aging projects (2018)
Journal Article

The Human Connectome Projects in Development (HCP-D) and Aging (HCP-A) are two large-scale brain imaging studies that will extend the recently completed HCP Young-Adult (HCP-YA) project to nearly the full lifespan, collecting structural, resting-sta...

Cognition based bTBI mechanistic criteria; a tool for preventive and therapeutic innovations (2018)
Journal Article

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury has been associated with neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. To date, although damage due to oxidative stress appears to be important, the specific mechanistic causes of such disorders remain elusive...

Automated processing pipeline for neonatal diffusion MRI in the developing Human Connectome Project (2018)
Journal Article

The developing Human Connectome Project is set to create and make available to the scientific community a 4-dimensional map of functional and structural cerebral connectivity from 20 to 44 weeks post-menstrual age, to allow exploration of the genetic...

Whole brain comparative anatomy using connectivity blueprints (2018)
Journal Article

Comparing the brains of related species faces the challenges of establishing homologies whilst accommodating evolutionary specializations. Here we propose a general framework for understanding similarities and differences between the brains of primat... Read More about Whole brain comparative anatomy using connectivity blueprints.

A gyral coordinate system predictive of fibre orientations (2018)
Journal Article

When axonal fibres approach or leave the cortex, their trajectories tend to closely follow the cortical convolutions. To quantify this tendency, we propose a three-dimensional coordinate system based on the gyral geometry. For every voxel in the brai...

Bayesian optimization of large-scale biophysical networks (2018)
Journal Article

The relationship between structure and function in the human brain is well established, but not yet well characterised. Large-scale biophysical models allow us to investigate this relationship, by leveraging structural information (e.g. derived from...

A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks (2018)
Journal Article

Over long timescales, neuronal dynamics can be robust to quite large perturbations, such as changes in white matter connectivity and grey matter structure through processes including learning, aging, development and certain disease processes. One pos... Read More about A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks.
