🍤 time!

In this new pre-print we used ultra-strong gradient dMRI to investigate the neurite and soma development of the hippocampus in childhood and adolescence.

Excited to be giving a talk on @afids_project as part of #OHBM2024's #Neuroinformatics session (6/25 @ 12PM🇰🇷; GB 103)

Come 👀 how we're:
➡️pooling 20K+ community curated 🧠 landmarks to 📏 registration accuracy 🎯 and for #QC
➡️creating resources/apps to simplify this process

@jasonkai @alaa_t_ The zona incerta has been called an “immensely confusing area about which nothing can be said."

@jasonkai @royhaast et al have characterized its connections using in vivo 7T MRI diffusion data applying both clustering and gradient approaches.

@BIDSstandard Interested in reliably & reproducibly identifying connections between brain regions?

Check out SCATTR, a workflow developed by @jasonkai et al to identify the subcortical connectome https://t.co/1CuOOpW7hp, now available as a @BIDSstandard app.

Cerebro is getting documented...
...a gallery of possible visualisations are to come 🌌

We find limited abnormalities in frontal "U"-fibres in untreated #schizophrenia using 7T diffusion MRI. Adds to studies showing meagre white matter changes in first-episode #psychosis. With Jason Kai @neuroak's team @WesternCFMM

[Alaa Taha @alaa_t_]

Excited to announce our @afids_project data release! 19,000+ manually placed brain landmarks across multiple templates and datasets, comprising 300+ human rater hours of annotation over 4 years!

[Mary Taylor @marygtaylor]

Come see how structure-function coupling changes following temporal lobe epilepsy surgery @OHBM (WTh237)! #OHBM2022

[Brad K @bradleykarat]

Interested in the hippocampus and it’s microstructure? Come see our poster (WTh257) at #OHBM22 @neuroak @jordandekraker

[Jason Kai @jasonkai]

Swing by poster WTh795 to learn more about our investigation into the reliability & feasibility of recapitulating the subcortical connectome in vivo using tractography. #OHBM2022

[Jason Kai @jasonkai]

Excited to share our preprint investigating in vivo diffusion MRI for mapping connections between subcortical structures, that is, the subcortical connectome.

Thanks for reading this far! We would welcome feedback on this work.

Thanks to support from @Brains_CAN @westernuCNS @ComputeCanada @NSERC_CRSNG @CIHR_IRSC

[Jason Kai @jasonkai]

The methods used were developed using an open framework that we anticipate will be helpful for further improvements in both the accuracy and reliability of computed subcortical connectomes.
