Age-related differences in myeloarchitecture measured at 7 T (2020)
Journal Article
We have used the magnetisation transfer (MT) MRI measure as a primary measure of myelination in both the grey matter (GM) of the 78 cortical automated anatomical labelling (AAL) regions of the brain, and the underlying white matter in each region, in...

Modulation of orbitofrontal-striatal reward activity by dopaminergic functional polymorphisms contributes to a predisposition to alcohol misuse in early adolescence (2018)
Journal Article
Background: Abnormalities in reward circuit function are considered a core feature of addiction. Yet, it is still largely unknown whether these abnormalities stem from chronic drug use, a genetic predisposition, or both. Methods: In the present s...

Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER (2017)
Journal Article
Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) has been used to assess the dynamic metabolic responses of the brain to a physiological stimulus non-invasively. However, only limited information on the dynamic functional response of γ-aminobutyric... Read More about Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER.
Comparing GABA-dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-high-field MRI (2017)
Journal Article
Imbalances in glutamatergic (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory) signalling within key brain networks are thought to underlie many brain and mental health disorders, and for this reason there is considerable interest in investigating how individual var...

Predictive utility of the NEO-FFI for later substance experiences among 16-year-old adolescents (2016)
Journal Article
Purpose The onset of substance use mostly occurs during adolescence. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relevance of personality on the basis of the NEO-Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) to future experiences with tobacco, alcohol an...

Mouse and human genetic analyses associate Kalirin with ventral striatal activation during impulsivity and with alcohol misuse (2016)
Journal Article
Impulsivity is associated with a spectrum of psychiatric disorders including drug addiction. To investigate genetic associations with impulsivity and initiation of drug taking, we took a two-step approach. First, we identified genes whose expression...

Imaging gray matter with concomitant null point imaging from the phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence (2015)
Journal Article
Purpose To present an improved three-dimensional (3D) interleaved phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequence including a concomitantly acquired new contrast, null point imaging (NPI), to help detect and classify abnormalities in cortical g... Read More about Imaging gray matter with concomitant null point imaging from the phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence.
New evidence of factor structure and measurement invariance of the SDQ across five European nations (2015)
Journal Article
The main purpose of the present study was to test the internal structure and to study the measurement invariance of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), self-reported version, in five European countries. The sample consisted of 3012 ado... Read More about New evidence of factor structure and measurement invariance of the SDQ across five European nations.
Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents (2014)
Journal Article
Despite the recognition that cortical thickness is heritable and correlates with intellectual ability in children and adolescents, the genes contributing to individual differences in these traits remain unknown. We conducted a large-scale association... Read More about Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents.
Regional structural differences across functionally parcellated Brodmann areas of human primary somatosensory cortex (2013)
Journal Article
Ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI is ideally suited for structural and functional imaging of the brain. High-resolution structural MRI can be used to map the anatomical boundaries between functional domains of the brain by identifying changes related to the...
