Sodium MRI: a new frontier in imaging in nephrology (2017)
Journal Article
Francis, S. T., Buchanan, C., Prestwich, B., & Taal, M. W. (2017). Sodium MRI: a new frontier in imaging in nephrology. Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 26(6), 435-441. https://doi.org/10.1097/MNH.0000000000000370

Purpose of review This review focuses on the recent technological advances in quantitative sodium (23Na) MRI to provide a noninvasive measure of tissue viability for use in clinical studies of patients with kidney disease. 23Na MRI is the only non...

Decoding fMRI events in sensorimotor motor network using sparse paradigm free mapping and activation likelihood estimates: Decoding fMRI Events in SMN (2017)
Journal Article
Tan, F. M., Caballero-Gaudes, C., Mullinger, K. J., Cho, S.-Y., Zhang, Y., Dryden, I. L., …Gowland, P. A. (2017). Decoding fMRI events in sensorimotor motor network using sparse paradigm free mapping and activation likelihood estimates: Decoding fMRI Events in SMN. Human Brain Mapping, 38(11), 5778-5794. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23767

Most functional MRI (fMRI) studies map task-driven brain activity using a block or event-related paradigm. Sparse paradigm free mapping (SPFM) can detect the onset and spatial distribution of BOLD events in the brain without prior timing information,...

Post-stimulus fMRI and EEG responses: evidence for a neuronal origin hypothesised to be inhibitory (2017)
Journal Article
Mullinger, K. J., Cherukara, M. T., Buxton, R. B., Francis, S. T., & Mayhew, S. D. (2017). Post-stimulus fMRI and EEG responses: evidence for a neuronal origin hypothesised to be inhibitory. NeuroImage, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.06.020

Post-stimulus undershoots, negative responses following cessation of stimulation, are widely observed in functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) data. However, the debate surrounding whether the origin of this re... Read More about Post-stimulus fMRI and EEG responses: evidence for a neuronal origin hypothesised to be inhibitory.

Exploring structure and function of sensory cortex with 7 T MRI (2017)
Journal Article
Schluppeck, D., Sánchez-Panchuelo, R.-M., & Francis, S. T. (2018). Exploring structure and function of sensory cortex with 7 T MRI. NeuroImage, 164, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.01.081

In this paper, we present an overview of 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the detailed function and anatomy of sensory areas of the human brain. We discuss the motivation for the studies, with particular emphasis on increasing the... Read More about Exploring structure and function of sensory cortex with 7 T MRI.
