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.

Imaging Pain Relief in Osteoarthritis (IPRO): protocol of a double-blind randomised controlled mechanistic study assessing pain relief and prediction of duloxetine treatment outcome (2017)
Journal Article
Reckziegel, D., Bailey, H., Cottam, W. J., Tench, C. R., Mahajan, R. P., Walsh, D. A., …Auer, D. P. (in press). Imaging Pain Relief in Osteoarthritis (IPRO): protocol of a double-blind randomised controlled mechanistic study assessing pain relief and prediction of duloxetine treatment outcome. BMJ Open, 7(6), Article e014013. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2016-014013

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) pain is a major cause of long-term disability and chronic pain in the adult population. One in five patients does not receive satisfactory pain relief, which reflects the complexity of chronic pain and the current la...

Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging depicts brain activity in models of acute and chronic pain: a new window to study experimental spontaneous pain? (2017)
Journal Article
Devonshire, I. M., Burston, J., Xu, L., Lillywhite, A., Prior, M., Watson, D. J., …Chapman, V. (2017). Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging depicts brain activity in models of acute and chronic pain: a new window to study experimental spontaneous pain?. NeuroImage, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.06.034

Application of functional imaging techniques to animal models is vital to understand pain mechanisms, but is often confounded by the need to limit movement artefacts with anaesthesia, and a focus on evoked responses rather than clinically relevant sp...

Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, C., Sigurdsson, H. P., Pépés, S. E., Auer, D. P., Morris, P. G., Morgan, P. S., …Jackson, S. R. (2017). Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER. NeuroImage, 156, 207-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.05.044

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.

Limbic grey matter changes in early Parkinson's disease (2017)
Journal Article
Li, X., Xing, Y., Schwarz, S. T., & Auer, D. P. (in press). Limbic grey matter changes in early Parkinson's disease. Human Brain Mapping, https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23610

The purpose of this study was to investigate local and network related changes of limbic grey matter in early Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their interrelation with non-motor symptom severity. We applied voxel-based morphometric methods in 538 T1 MRI... Read More about Limbic grey matter changes in early Parkinson's disease.

Magnetic resonance imaging plaque hemorrhage for risk stratification in carotid artery disease with moderate risk under current medical therapy (2017)
Journal Article
Hosseini, A. A., Simpson, R. J., Altaf, N., Bath, P. M., MacSweeney, S. T., & Auer, D. P. (2017). Magnetic resonance imaging plaque hemorrhage for risk stratification in carotid artery disease with moderate risk under current medical therapy. Stroke, 48(3), https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.116.015504

Background and Purpose—Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–defined carotid plaque hemorrhage (MRIPH) can predict recurrent cerebrovascular ischemic events in severe symptomatic carotid stenosis. It is less clear whether MRIPH can improve risk stratifica...
