Determinants of cerebral blood flow and arterial transit time in healthy older adults (2024)
Journal Article
Feron, J., Segaert, K., Rahman, F., Fosstveit, S. H., Joyce, K. E., Gilani, A., Lohne-Seiler, H., Berntsen, S., Mullinger, K. J., & Lucas, S. J. (2024). Determinants of cerebral blood flow and arterial transit time in healthy older adults. Aging, 16(18), 12473-12497. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206112

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and arterial transit time (ATT), markers of brain vascular health, worsen with age. The primary aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify modifiable determinants of CBF and ATT in healthy older adults (n = 78, aged 6...

A novel, robust, and portable platform for magnetoencephalography using optically-pumped magnetometers (2024)
Journal Article
Schofield, H., Hill, R. M., Feys, O., Holmes, N., Osborne, J., Doyle, C., Bobela, D., Corvilain, P., Wens, V., Rier, L., Bowtell, R., Ferez, M., Mullinger, K. J., Coleman, S., Rhodes, N., Rea, M., Tanner, Z., Boto, E., de Tiège, X., Shah, V., & Brookes, M. J. (2024). A novel, robust, and portable platform for magnetoencephalography using optically-pumped magnetometers. Imaging Neuroscience, 2, 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00283

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) measures brain function via assessment of magnetic fields generated by neural currents. Conventional MEG uses superconducting sensors, which place significant limitations on performance, practicality, and deployment; howe...

Neurovascular coupling methods in healthy individuals using transcranial doppler ultrasonography: A systematic review and consensus agreement (2024)
Journal Article
Ball, J. D., Hills, E., Altaf, A., Ramesh, P., Green, M., Surti, F. B., Minhas, J. S., Robinson, T. G., Bond, B., Lester, A., Hoiland, R., Klein, T., Liu, J., Nasr, N., Junejo, R. T., Müller, M., Lecchini-Visintini, A., Mitsis, G., Burma, J. S., Smirl, J. D., …Beishon, L. . C. (2024). Neurovascular coupling methods in healthy individuals using transcranial doppler ultrasonography: A systematic review and consensus agreement. Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, https://doi.org/10.1177/0271678X241270452

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is the perturbation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to meet varying metabolic demands induced by various levels of neural activity. NVC may be assessed by Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD), using task activation pro...

Simultaneous whole-head electrophysiological recordings using EEG and OPM-MEG (2024)
Journal Article
Seedat, Z. A., Pier, K. S., Holmes, N., Rea, M., Al-Hilaly, L., Tierney, T. M., …Brookes, M. J. (2024). Simultaneous whole-head electrophysiological recordings using EEG and OPM-MEG. Imaging Neuroscience, 2, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00179

Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) non-invasively measure human brain electrophysiology. They differ in nature; MEG offers better performance whilst EEG (a wearable platform) is more practical. They are also complementary,...

Post‐task responses following working memory and movement are driven by transient spectral bursts with similar characteristics (2024)
Journal Article
Coleman, S. C., Seedat, Z. A., Pakenham, D. O., Quinn, A. J., Brookes, M. J., Woolrich, M. W., & Mullinger, K. J. (2024). Post‐task responses following working memory and movement are driven by transient spectral bursts with similar characteristics. Human Brain Mapping, 45(7), Article e26700. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.26700

The post-movement beta rebound has been studied extensively using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and is reliably modulated by various task parameters as well as illness. Our recent study showed that rebounds, which we generalise as “post-task responses...
