Decreased grey matter volume in mTBI patients with post-traumatic headache compared to headache-free mTBI patients and healthy controls: a longitudinal MRI study
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs in 1.7 million people annually and many patients go on to develop persistent disorders including post-traumatic headache (PTH). PTH is considered chronic if it continues pas...

Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging
Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is an advanced imaging technique that expands the utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Kurtosis is a measure of skewness of the shape...

Adjusting for Confounders in Cross-correlation Analysis: an Application to Resting State Networks
Resting State Network (RSN) analysis investigates spontaneous brain activity when the brain is not subjected to any external stimuli. The interest in RSN analysis lies primarily in understanding the interactio...

Cortical multisensory connectivity is present near birth in humans
How the newborn brain adapts to its new multisensory environment has been a subject of debate. Although an early theory proposed that the brain acquires multisensory features as a result of postnatal experienc...

Estimation of Fiber Orientations Using Neighborhood Information
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has been used to noninvasively reconstruct fiber tracts. Fiber orientation (FO) estimation is a crucial step in the reconstruction, especially in the case of crossin...
