Journal Article
Lerch, J. P., van der Kouwe, A. J., Raznahan, A., Paus, T., Johansen-Berg, H., Miller, K. L., …Sotiropoulos, S. N. (in press). Studying neuroanatomy using MRI. Nature Neuroscience, 20(3), https://doi.org/10.1038/nn.4501

The study of neuroanatomy using imaging enables key insights into how our brains function, are shaped by genes and environment, and change with development, aging, and disease. Developments in MRI acquisition, image processing, and data modelling hav... Read More about Studying neuroanatomy using MRI.

Image quality transfer and applications in diffusion MRI (2017)
Journal Article
Alexander, D. C., Zikic, D., Ghosh, A., Tanno, R., Wottschel, V., Zhang, J., …Criminisi, A. (2017). Image quality transfer and applications in diffusion MRI. NeuroImage, 152, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.02.089

This paper introduces a new computational imaging technique called image quality transfer (IQT). IQT uses machine learning to transfer the rich information available from one-off experimental medical imaging devices to the abundant but lower-quality...

Building connectomes using diffusion MRI: why, how and but (2017)
Journal Article
Sotiropoulos, S. N., & Zalesky, A. (in press). Building connectomes using diffusion MRI: why, how and but. NMR in Biomedicine, https://doi.org/10.1002/nbm.3752

Why has diffusion MRI become a principal modality for mapping connectomes in vivo? How do different image acquisition parameters, fiber tracking algorithms and other methodological choices affect connectome estimation? What are the main factors that...

The heritability of multi-modal connectivity in human brain activity (2017)
Journal Article
Colclough, G. L., Smith, S. M., Nichols, T. E., Winkler, A. M., Sotiropoulos, S. N., Glasser, M. F., …Woolrich, M. W. (in press). The heritability of multi-modal connectivity in human brain activity. eLife, 6, Article e20178. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.20178

Patterns of intrinsic human brain activity exhibit a profile of functional connectivity that is associated with behaviour and cognitive performance, and deteriorates with disease. This paper investigates the relative importance of genetic factors and... Read More about The heritability of multi-modal connectivity in human brain activity.

Evaluating fibre orientation dispersion in white matter: comparison of diffusion MRI, histology and polarized light imaging (2017)
Journal Article
Mollink, J., Kleinnijenhuis, M., Cappellen van Walsum, A.-M. V., Sotiropoulos, S. N., Cottaar, M., Mirfin, C., …Miller, K. L. (2017). Evaluating fibre orientation dispersion in white matter: comparison of diffusion MRI, histology and polarized light imaging. NeuroImage, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.06.001

Diffusion MRI is an exquisitely sensitive probe of tissue microstructure, and is currently the only non-invasive measure of the brain’s fibre architecture. As this technique becomes more sophisticated and microstructurally informative, there is incre...

A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks. PLoS Computational Biology, 14(2), Article e1006007. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006007

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.

Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system (2018)
Journal Article
