Two-Dimensional Population Receptive Field Mapping of Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex (2023)
Journal Article
Asghar, M., Sanchez-Panchuelo, R., Schluppeck, D., & Francis, S. (2023). Two-Dimensional Population Receptive Field Mapping of Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex. Brain Topography, 36, 816-834. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10548-023-01000-8

Functional magnetic resonance imaging can provide detailed maps of how sensory space is mapped in the human brain. Here, we use a novel 16 stimulator setup (a 4 × 4 grid) to measure two-dimensional sensory maps of between and within-digit (D2–D4) spa...

A molecular–mechanical link in shear-induced self-assembly of a functionalized biopolymeric fluid (2023)
Journal Article
Pavlovskaya, G. E., & Meersmann, T. (2023). A molecular–mechanical link in shear-induced self-assembly of a functionalized biopolymeric fluid. Soft Matter, 19(17), 3228-3237. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2sm01381a

23Na multiple quantum filtered (MQF) rheo-NMR methods were applied to probe the molecular foundation for flow induced self-assembly in 0.5% κ-carrageenan fluid. This method is sensitive enough to utilize an endogenous sodium ion concentration of appr...

Journal Article
Nweze, T., Banaschewski, T., Ajaelu, C., Okoye, C., Ezenwa, M., Whelan, R., Papadopoulos Orfanos, D., Bokde, A. L., Desrivières, S., Grigis, A., Garavan, H., Gowland, P., Heinz, A., Brühl, R., Martinot, J., Martinot, M. P., Artiges, E., Nees, F., Paus, T., Poustka, L., …IMAGEN Consortium. (2023). Trajectories of cortical structures associated with stress across adolescence: a bivariate latent change score approach. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 64(8), 1159-1175. https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13793

Background: Stress exposure in childhood and adolescence has been linked to reductions in cortical structures and cognitive functioning. However, to date, most of these studies have been cross-sectional, limiting the ability to make long-term inferen...

A comparative, randomised MRI study of the physiological and appetitive responses to gelling (alginate) and non-gelling nasogastric tube feeds in healthy men (2023)
Journal Article
Aliyu, A. I., Nixon, A., Hoad, C., Marciani, L., Corsetti, M., Aithal, G. P., …Taylor, M. A. (2023). A comparative, randomised MRI study of the physiological and appetitive responses to gelling (alginate) and non-gelling nasogastric tube feeds in healthy men. British Journal of Nutrition, 130(8), 1316-1328. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114523000302

AbstractInclusion in nasogastric tube feeds (NGTF) of acid-sensitive, seaweed-derived alginate, expected to form a reversible gel in the stomach, may create a more normal intragastric state and modified gastrointestinal responses. This may ameliorate... Read More about A comparative, randomised MRI study of the physiological and appetitive responses to gelling (alginate) and non-gelling nasogastric tube feeds in healthy men.

GLP−1 Promotes Cortical and Medullary Perfusion in the Human Kidney and Maintains Renal Oxygenation During NaCl Loading (2023)
Journal Article
Haddock, B., Kristensen, K. B., Tayyab, M., Larsson, H. B. W., Lindberg, U., Vestergaard, M., …Asmar, A. (2023). GLP−1 Promotes Cortical and Medullary Perfusion in the Human Kidney and Maintains Renal Oxygenation During NaCl Loading. Journal of the American Heart Association, 12(3), Article e027712. https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.122.027712

Background

GLP‐1 (glucagon‐like peptide‐1) receptor agonists exert beneficial long‐term effects on cardiovascular and renal outcomes. In humans, the natriuretic effect of GLP‐1 depends on GLP‐1 receptor interaction, is accompanied by suppression o...
