Time to endoscopy for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding: results from a prospective multicentre trainee-led audit (2018)
Journal Article
Siau, K., Hodson, J., Ingram, R., Baxter, A., Widlak, M. M., Sharratt, C., …Major, G. (2018). Time to endoscopy for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding: results from a prospective multicentre trainee-led audit. United European Gastroenterology Journal, https://doi.org/10.1177/2050640618811491

Background: Endoscopy within 24 hours of admission (early endoscopy) is a quality standard in acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). We aimed to audit time to endoscopy outcomes and identify factors affecting delayed endoscopy (>24h of admiss...

Spontaneous cortical activity transiently organises into frequency specific phase-coupling networks (2018)
Journal Article
Vidaurre, D., Hunt, L. T., Quinn, A. J., Hunt, B. A. E., Brookes, M. J., Nobre, A. C., & Woolrich, M. W. (2018). Spontaneous cortical activity transiently organises into frequency specific phase-coupling networks. Nature Communications, 9(1), Article 2987. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-05316-z

© 2018, The Author(s). Frequency-specific oscillations and phase-coupling of neuronal populations are essential mechanisms for the coordination of activity between brain areas during cognitive tasks. Therefore, the ongoing activity ascribed to the di... Read More about Spontaneous cortical activity transiently organises into frequency specific phase-coupling networks.

Cognitive neuroscience using wearable magnetometer arrays: Non-invasive assessment of language function (2018)
Journal Article
Tierney, T. M., Holmes, N., Meyer, S. S., Boto, E., Roberts, G., Leggett, J., …Barnes, G. R. (2018). Cognitive neuroscience using wearable magnetometer arrays: Non-invasive assessment of language function. NeuroImage, 181, 513-520. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.07.035

Recent work has demonstrated that Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) can be utilised to create a wearable Magnetoencephalography (MEG) system that is motion robust. In this study, we use this system to map eloquent cortex using a clinically valida...

A bi-planar coil system for nulling background magnetic fields in scalp mounted magnetoencephalography (2018)
Journal Article
Holmes, N., Leggett, J., Boto, E., Roberts, G., Hill, R. M., Tierney, T. M., …Bowtell, R. (2018). A bi-planar coil system for nulling background magnetic fields in scalp mounted magnetoencephalography. NeuroImage, 181, 760-774. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.07.028

Small, commercially-available Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) can be used to construct a wearable Magnetoencephalography (MEG) system that allows large head movements to be made during recording. The small dynamic range of these sensors however... Read More about A bi-planar coil system for nulling background magnetic fields in scalp mounted magnetoencephalography.

Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system (2018)
Journal Article
Boto, E., Holmes, N., Leggett, J., Roberts, G., Shah, V., Meyer, S. S., …Brookes, M. J. (2018). Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system. Nature, 555, 657-661. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature26147

Imaging human brain function with techniques such as magnetoencephalography1 (MEG) typically requires a subject to perform tasks whilst their head remains still within a restrictive scanner. This artificial environment makes the technique inaccessibl... Read More about Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system.

Altered temporal stability in dynamic neural networks underlies connectivity changes in neurodevelopment (2018)
Journal Article
Brookes, M. J., Groom, M. J., Liuzzi, L., Hill, R. M., Smith, H. J., Briley, P. M., …Liddle, E. B. (2018). Altered temporal stability in dynamic neural networks underlies connectivity changes in neurodevelopment. NeuroImage, 174, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.03.008

Network connectivity is an integral feature of human brain function, and characterising its maturational trajectory is a critical step towards understanding healthy and atypical neurodevelopment. Here, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investig... Read More about Altered temporal stability in dynamic neural networks underlies connectivity changes in neurodevelopment.

A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks (2018)
Journal Article
Abeysuriya, R. G., Hadida, J., Sotiropoulos, S. N., Jbabdi, S., Becker, R., Hunt, B. A., …Woolrich, M. W. (in press). A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks. PLoS Computational Biology, 14(2), Article e1006007. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006007

Over long timescales, neuronal dynamics can be robust to quite large perturbations, such as changes in white matter connectivity and grey matter structure through processes including learning, aging, development and certain disease processes. One pos... Read More about A biophysical model of dynamic balancing of excitation and inhibition in fast oscillatory large-scale networks.
