On the stability of canonical correlation analysis and partial least squares with application to brain-behavior associations (2024)
Journal Article
Helmer, M., Warrington, S., Mohammadi-Nejad, A., Ji, J. L., Howell, A., Rosand, B., …Murray, J. D. (2024). On the stability of canonical correlation analysis and partial least squares with application to brain-behavior associations. Communications Biology, 7(1), Article 217. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-024-05869-4

Associations between datasets can be discovered through multivariate methods like Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) or Partial Least Squares (PLS). A requisite property for interpretability and generalizability of CCA/PLS associations is stability...

Medio-dorsal thalamic dysconnectivity in chronic knee pain: A possible mechanism for negative affect and pain comorbidity (2022)
Journal Article
Iwabuchi, S. J., Drabek, M. M., Cottam, W. J., Tadjibaev, A., Mohammadi-Nejad, A. R., Sotiropoulos, S., …Auer, D. P. (2022). Medio-dorsal thalamic dysconnectivity in chronic knee pain: A possible mechanism for negative affect and pain comorbidity. European Journal of Neuroscience, 57(2), 373-387. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.15880

The reciprocal interaction between pain and negative affect is acknowledged but pain-related alterations in brain circuits involved in this interaction, such as the mediodorsal thalamus (MDThal), still require a better understanding. We sought to inv... Read More about Medio-dorsal thalamic dysconnectivity in chronic knee pain: A possible mechanism for negative affect and pain comorbidity.

Mapping brain endophenotypes associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis genetic risk (2022)
Journal Article
Mohammadi-Nejad, A. R., Allen, R. J., Kraven, L. M., Leavy, O. C., Jenkins, R. G., Wain, L. V., …Sotiropoulos, S. N. (2022). Mapping brain endophenotypes associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis genetic risk. EBioMedicine, 86, Article 104356. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2022.104356

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious disease of the lung parenchyma. It has a known polygenetic risk, with at least seventeen regions of the genome implicated to date. Growing evidence suggests linked multimorbidity of IPF wit... Read More about Mapping brain endophenotypes associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis genetic risk.

White Matter Microstructural Alteration in Type 2 Diabetes: A Combined UK Biobank Study of Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (2022)
Working Paper
Alotaibi, A., Podlasek, A., AlTokhis, A., Tench, C. R., Mohammadi-Nejad, A., Sotiropoulos, S. N., …Dineen, R. A. White Matter Microstructural Alteration in Type 2 Diabetes: A Combined UK Biobank Study of Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus impacts the brain microstructural environment. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been widely used to characterize white matter microstructural abnormalities in type 2 diabetes but fails to fully characterise dise...

Anticholinergic drugs and forebrain magnetic resonance imaging changes in cognitively normal people and those with mild cognitive impairment (2022)
Journal Article
Meng, D., Mohammadi-Nejad, A., Sotiropoulos, S. N., & Auer, D. P. (2022). Anticholinergic drugs and forebrain magnetic resonance imaging changes in cognitively normal people and those with mild cognitive impairment. European Journal of Neurology, 29(5), 1344-1353. https://doi.org/10.1111/ene.15251

Background Anticholinergic (AC) medication use is associated with cognitive decline and dementia, which may be related to an AC induced central hypocholinergic state, but the exact mechanisms remain to be understood. We aimed to further elucidate th... Read More about Anticholinergic drugs and forebrain magnetic resonance imaging changes in cognitively normal people and those with mild cognitive impairment.

We aimed to further... Read More about Anticholinergic drugs and forebrain magnetic resonance imaging changes in cognitively normal people and those with mild cognitive impairment.

Non-negative data-driven mapping of structural connections with application to the neonatal brain (2020)
Journal Article
Thompson, . E., Mohammadi-Nejad, A. R., Robinson, E. C., Andersson, J. L., Jbabdi, S., Glasser, M. F., …Sotiropoulos, S. N. (2020).
