Nature research paper: A probabilistic histological atlas of the human brain for MRI segmentation

https://t.co/65cAM1As80

[Juan Eugenio Iglesias @JuanEugenioIgl1]

Ten years (!) after submitting the grant, NextBrain is published in @Nature . NextBrain is a brain atlas built from 3D histology that enables segmentation of 3D brain scans (MRI, Hip-CT, even photos!) into hundreds of regions.

After two years full of changes, I am happy to share that I have secured a permanent position at the Enrico Fermi Research Centre in Rome, with start date next week! Looking forward to even more MRI than ever 🧠 @cref_official #milestones

[Juan Eugenio Iglesias @JuanEugenioIgl1]

After seven (7!) years of work with >20 researchers at 10 different institutions, we are super excited to release NextBrain, a next-gen probabilistic atlas of the human brain with 333 regions:

Struggling storing/sharing large MRI datasets?🧠Check out our latest work on data compression with periodic activation networks: https://t.co/btclNd8lmm We found that this lossy compression can provide up to 10x extra compression, with (arguably) acceptable information loss (1/2)

Do you want to dig into it beyond the paper? You are more than welcome to: both the connectivity matrices (https://t.co/hueb3s92CE) and the code (https://t.co/RKJSohvF2T) to replicate the results are publicly available! (3/3)

Happy to share our latest: Dissecting whole-brain conduction delays through MRI microstructural measures https://t.co/UBdjreQADk a huge thanks to co-authors @QiyuanTian Qiuyun Fan Mara Cercignani @SusieHuangMDPhD! A good read if you are into #brain #connectivity and #delays (1/3)

[Matteo Mancini @ingmatman]

Using high-gradient diffusion MRI, we looked at whole-brain conduction velocity/delay distributions and how they change w/ microstructure (axonal diameter & myelin) and connection lengths. Long story short: delays linearly scale with length, in line with direct stim studies (2/3)
