ABSTRACT Functional brain fingerprinting has emerged as an influential tool to quantify reliability in neuroimaging studies and identify cognitive biomarkers both healthy clinical populations. Recent have revealed that fingerprints reside the timescale‐specific functional connectivity of particular regions. However, impact acquisition's temporal resolution on remains unclear. In this study, we examine for first time derived from resting‐state MRI (rs‐fMRI) with different whole‐brain...
Background The resurgence of research and public interest in the positive psychological effects psychedelics, together with advancements digital data collection techniques, have brought forth a new type design, which involves prospectively gathering large-scale naturalistic from psychedelic users; that is, before after use compound. A methodological limitation such studies is their high attrition rate, particularly owing to participants who stop responding initial study enrollment....
Abstract The thalamus is a collection of gray matter nuclei that play crucial role in sensorimotor processing and modulation cortical activity. Characterizing thalamic non-invasively with structural MRI particularly relevant for patient populations Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, dementia, schizophrenia. However, severe head motion these poses significant challenge vivo mapping nuclei. Recent advancements have leveraged the compressed sensing (CS) framework to accelerate acquisition times...
Accurate segmentation of thalamic nuclei can significantly support clinical decisions, especially in diseases such as Parkinson’s. At the same time, highly accelerated T1w acquisition techniques find wider acceptance they not only increase radiological efficiency and patient comfort, but also reduce motion artefacts. Here, we study how compressed sensing affects volumetry based on MPRAGE or MP2RAGE healthy subjects with respect to baseline. Segmentation results are promising agree...
The automated voxel placement (AVP) framework has been proposed to optimize accuracy and reproducibility in single-voxel brain proton spectroscopy. AVP is based on the affine transformation of coordinates from standard subject-specific space defined a 3D T1-weighted structural scan. Here we evaluate robustness approach by evaluating displacement center across T1w MPRAGE sequence variants, including compressed sensing (CS) accelerated protocols. We show that gave small but significantly...
