Optimization of rs-fMRI pre-processing steps for integration of multiple pediatric datasets
Impact: By evaluating the capacity of pre-processing to mitigate challenges introduced
by variable acquisition parameters among pediatric rs-fMRI datasets, we provide
a replicable procedure for integrating multi-site datasets.
This integration will allow for the exploration of trends underlying pediatric developmental
trajectories.

Analysis of Dynamic Network Reconfiguration in Male Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Impact: This study
provides a multilayer, time-resolved analysis that reveals heightened
segregation and unstable reconfiguration of DAN-DMN systems in pediatric ASD,
linking network dynamics to symptom burden. This dynamic marker complements
static connectivity and may inform individualized evaluation in clinical
research.

Enhanced perceptual cognition and functional connectivity in children with specialized cognitive training: A pilot fMRI study
Impact: Dynamic functional connectivity and task-based
connectivity proved robust measures to understand the facilitatory connectivity
between visual, fronto-parietal and default mode networks. Neuronal
plasticity with cognitive training could cause brain stimulation leading to
altered connectivity.

Regional Magnetization Transfer Ratio Analysis for Detecting Early Microstructural Damage in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
Impact: MTR provides a sensitive measure of spinal cord
microstructural integrity in early DCM, facilitating earlier diagnosis and more
informed surgical decisions to enhance patient stratification, management, and
long-term functional outcomes.

3D Constrained qBOLD MRI Analysis of Cerebral Oxygenation and Perfusion Across the Healthy Adult Lifespan
Impact: The
study, conducted with a spatially resolved quantitative MRI method, supports
the hypothesis that in the healthy brain the age-related decline in brain blood
flow is compensated by increased oxygen extraction, thereby keeping oxygen
consumption unaltered, both globally and regionally.
