TL;DR: A fully probabilistic framework is presented for estimating local probability density functions on parameters of interest in a model of diffusion, allowing for the quantification of belief in tractography results and the estimation of the cortical connectivity of the human thalamus.

Abstract: A fully probabilistic framework is presented for estimating local probability density functions on parameters of interest in a model of diffusion. This technique is applied to the estimation of parameters in the diffusion tensor model, and also to a simple partial volume model of diffusion. In both cases the parameters of interest include parameters defining local fiber direction. A technique is then presented for using these density functions to estimate global connectivity (i.e., the probability of the existence of a connection through the data field, between any two distant points), allowing for the quantification of belief in tractography results. This technique is then applied to the estimation of the cortical connectivity of the human thalamus. The resulting connectivity distributions correspond well with predictions from invasive tracer methods in nonhuman primate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a method to create interslice image shifts in the phase encoding direction to increase the distance between aliasing pixels, induced using sign-and amplitude-modulated slice-select gradient blips simultaneous with the EPI phase encoding blips.

TL;DR: Assessing the behavior, structure and topological attributes of whole-brain anatomical networks over a wide range of nodal scales, a variety of grey-matter parcellations as well as different diffusion-MRI acquisition protocols indicates that any comparison of network parameters across studies must be made with reference to the spatial scale of the nodal parcellation.

TL;DR: Overall, the results suggest that male brains are structured to facilitate connectivity between perception and coordinated action, whereas female brains are designed to facilitate communication between analytical and intuitive processing modes.

TL;DR: This work utilized diffusion tensor imaging deterministic tractography to construct a macroscale anatomical network capturing the underlying common connectivity pattern of human cerebral cortex in a large sample of subjects and further quantitatively analyzed its topological properties with graph theoretical approaches.

A global optimisation method for robust affine registration of brain images
Mark Jenkinson,Stephen M. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the use of local optimisation methods together with the standard multi-resolution approach is not sufficient to reliably find the global minimum, so a global optimisation method is proposed that is specifically tailored to this form of registration.

The basis of anisotropic water diffusion in the nervous system – a technical review
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to characterize the relationship of nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of water diffusion and its anisotropy (i.e. directional dependence) with the underlying microstructure of neural fibres.
