B., Desrivières, S., Flor, H., Frouin, V., Gowland, P. A., Heinz, A., Ittermann, B., …Whelan, R. (2018). Neural circuitry underlying sustained attention in healthy adolescents and in ADHD symptomatology. NeuroImage, 169, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.12.030

Moment-to-moment reaction time variability on tasks of attention, often quantified by intra-individual response variability (IRV), provides a good indication of the degree to which an individual is vulnerable to lapses in sustained attention. Increa... Read More about Neural circuitry underlying sustained attention in healthy adolescents and in ADHD symptomatology.

Multiparametric measurement of cerebral physiology using calibrated fMRI (2017)
Journal Article
Bright, M. G., Croal, P. L., Blockley, N. P., & Bulte, D. P. (2019). Multiparametric measurement of cerebral physiology using calibrated fMRI. NeuroImage, 187, 128-144. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.12.049

The ultimate goal of calibrated fMRI is the quantitative imaging of oxygen metabolism (CMRO2), and this has been the focus of numerous methods and approaches. However, one underappreciated aspect of this quest is that in the drive to measure CMRO2, m... Read More about Multiparametric measurement of cerebral physiology using calibrated fMRI.

An automated method to detect and quantify fungiform papillae in the human tongue: Validation and relationship to phenotypical differences in taste perception (2017)
Journal Article
Eldeghaidy, S., Thomas, D., Skinner, M., Ford, R., Giesbrecht, T., Thomas, A., Hort, J., & Francis, S. (2018). An automated method to detect and quantify fungiform papillae in the human tongue: Validation and relationship to phenotypical differences in taste perception. Physiology and Behavior, 184, 226-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2017.12.003

Determination of the number of fungiform papillae (FP) on the human tongue is an important measure that has frequently been associated with individual differences in oral perception, including taste sensitivity. At present, there is no standardised m...

Glycaemic, gastrointestinal and appetite responses to breakfast porridges from ancient cereal grains: a MRI pilot study in healthy humans (2017)
Journal Article
Alyami, J., Ladd, N., Pritchard, S. E., Hoad, C. L., Abdul Sultan, A., Spiller, R. C., Gowland, P. A., MacDonald, I. A., Aithal, G. P., Marciani, L., & Taylor, M. A. (2017). Glycaemic, gastrointestinal and appetite responses to breakfast porridges from ancient cereal grains: a MRI pilot study in healthy humans. Food Research International, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2017.11.071

Cereal grain based porridges are commonly consumed throughout the world. Whilst some data are available for varieties that are popular in the Western world such as oats and rye, other ‘ancient’ grains used in the East and in Africa such as millets ar...

NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy (2017)
Journal Article
Rossi, F., Geiszler, P. C., Meng, W., Barron, M., Prior, M., Herd-Smith, A., Loreto, A., Yanez Lopez, M., Faas, H., Pardon, M.-C., & Conforti, L. (2018). NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy. Behavioural Brain Research, 339, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2017.11.030

NAD metabolism and the NAD biosynthetic enzymes nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferases (NMNATs) are thought to play a key neuroprotective role in tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we investigated whether modulating the expressio... Read More about NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy.

Comparing multilayer brain networks between groups: Introducing graph metrics and recommendations (2017)
Journal Article
Mandke, K., Meier, J., Brookes, M. J., O'Dea, R. D., Van Mieghem, P., Stam, C. J., Hillebrand, A., & Tewarie, P. K. (2018). Comparing multilayer brain networks between groups: Introducing graph metrics and recommendations. NeuroImage, 166, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.11.016

There is an increasing awareness of the advantages of multi-modal neuroimaging. Networks obtained from different modalities are usually treated in isolation, which is however contradictory to accumulating evidence that these networks show non-trivial...

Patterns of grey matter loss associated with motor subscores in early Parkinson's disease (2017)
Journal Article
Li, X., Xing, Y., Martin-Bastida, A., Piccini, P., & Auer, D. P. (in press). Patterns of grey matter loss associated with motor subscores in early Parkinson's disease. NeuroImage: Clinical, 17, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2017.11.009

Classical motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) such as tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and axial symptoms are graded in the Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) III. It is yet to be ascertained whether... Read More about Patterns of grey matter loss associated with motor subscores in early Parkinson's disease.
