🍤 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. "The developing hippocampus: Microstructural evolution through childhood and adolescence": biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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

🔊Announcement🔊! The @neuroak & @jclauneuro labs are 𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙬𝙤✌️𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨 in basic + translational neuroimaging @WesternU.🧠🔭 Supported by @TRIDENTPCT @Brains_CAN. recruit.uwo.ca [Job ID: 35643 + 35752] #ldnont 🇨🇦

Arun Thurairajah will present Labelmerge, a @BIDSstandard app for a user-friendly and more efficient method of combining parcellations from multiple brain atlases. Poster 2493 #OHBM2023 6/

@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. Poster 0384 #OHBM2023 9/

@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 doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…, now available as a @BIDSstandard app. Poster 0333 #OHBM2023 7/

Cerebro is getting documented... ...a gallery of possible visualisations are to come 🌌 Kudos to my wonderful brainhack buddies, @jaysonjeg @jasonkai @TristanKOpenSci @psychinthecity_ @AnnieGBryant #OHBMBrainhack #BuddySystem github.com/sina-mansour/C…

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 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

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! Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2022.1… #openscience #stereotaxy #neuroanatomy #QC 1/n

Mapping the subcortical connectome using in vivo diffusion MRI. Now published in @NeuroImage_EiC: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… Led by @jasonkai + @RoyHaast @neuroak. 🧠🔍🗺️ Using @HumanConnectome data, and supported by @Brains_CAN, @NSERC_CRSNG, @WesternUCNS, @ComputeCanada.

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

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

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

Excited to share our preprint investigating in vivo diffusion MRI for mapping connections between subcortical structures, that is, the subcortical connectome. w/ @neuroak @RoyHaast @jclauneuro biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/7

Thanks for reading this far! We would welcome feedback on this work. Thanks to support from @Brains_CAN @westernuCNS @ComputeCanada @NSERC_CRSNG @CIHR_IRSC 7/7

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. 6/7
