Concurrent mapping of brain ontogeny and phylogeny within a common connectivity space (2022)
Working Paper
Warrington, S., Thompson, E., Bastiani, M., Dubois, J., Baxter, L., Slater, R., …Sotiropoulos, S. N. Concurrent mapping of brain ontogeny and phylogeny within a common connectivity space

Developmental and evolutionary effects on brain organisation are complex, yet linked, as evidenced by the striking correspondence in cortical expansion changes. However, it is still not possible to study concurrently the ontogeny and phylogeny of cor... Read More about Concurrent mapping of brain ontogeny and phylogeny within a common connectivity space.

Redesigning a web-based stakeholder consensus meeting about core outcomes for clinical trials: Formative feedback study (2021)
Working Paper
Katiri, R., Hall, D. A., Hoare, D. J., Fackrell, K., Horobin, A., Buggy, N., …Core Rehabilitation Outcome Set For Single-Sided Deafness (CROSSSD) Initiative, . Redesigning a web-based stakeholder consensus meeting about core outcomes for clinical trials: Formative feedback study

Background: Clinical trials that assess the benefits and harms of an intervention do so by measuring and reporting outcomes. Inconsistent selection and diversity in the choice of outcomes makes it challenging to directly compare interventions. To...

Altered hippocampal functional connectivity patterns in patients with cognitive impairments following ischaemic stroke: a resting-state fMRI study (2020)
Working Paper
Jung, J., Laverick, R., Nader, K., Wilson, M., Auer, D. P., Rotshtein, P., & Hosseini, A. A. Altered hippocampal functional connectivity patterns in patients with cognitive impairments following ischaemic stroke: a resting-state fMRI study

Background Ischemic stroke with cognitive impairment is a considerable risk factor for developing dementia. Identifying imaging markers of cognitive impairment following ischemic stroke will help to develop prevention strategies against post-stroke d...

The spatial percept of tinnitus is associated with hearing asymmetry: subgroup comparisons (2020)
Working Paper
Genitsaridi, E., Kypraios, T., Edvall, N. K., Trpchevska, N., Canlon, B., Hoare, D. J., …Hall, D. A. The spatial percept of tinnitus is associated with hearing asymmetry: subgroup comparisons

The spatial percept of tinnitus is hypothesized as an important variable for tinnitus subtyping. Hearing asymmetry often associates with tinnitus laterality, but not always. One of the methodological limitations for cross-study comparisons is how the... Read More about The spatial percept of tinnitus is associated with hearing asymmetry: subgroup comparisons.

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) has undergone significant development since its inception, with a focus on improving standardization and reproducibility of its acquisition and quantification. In a community-wide effort towards robust and reproducible cl... Read More about ExploreASL: an image processing pipeline for multi-center ASL perfusion MRI studies.

Geometry alone influences stem cell differentiation in a precision 3D printed stem cell niche (2018)
Working Paper
Prina, E., Sidney, L., Tromayer, M., Moore, J., Liska, R., Bertolin, M., …Rose, F. R. Geometry alone influences stem cell differentiation in a precision 3D printed stem cell niche

Stem cells within epithelial tissues reside in anatomical structures known as crypts that are known to contribute to the mechanical and chemical milieu important for function. To date, epithelial stem cell therapies have largely ignored the niche and... Read More about Geometry alone influences stem cell differentiation in a precision 3D printed stem cell niche.
