O’Donnell LJ, Pasternak O Schizophr. Res. 2015 Jan;161(1):133-41 PMID: 25278106 Abstract One key pitfall in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) clinical neuroimaging research is the challenge of understanding and interpreting the results of a complex analysis pipeline. The sophisticated algorithms employed by the analysis software, combined with the relatively non-specific… read more →
Nestor PG, Choate V, Niznikiewicz M, Levitt JJ, Shenton ME, McCarley RW Schizophr. Res. 2014 Nov;159(2-3):506-8 PMID: 25261881 Abstract We used the Iowa Gambling Test (IGT) to examine the relationship of reward learning to both neuropsychological functioning and symptom formation in 65 individuals with schizophrenia. Results indicated that compared to… read more →

Pasternak O, Westin CF, Dahlben B, Bouix S, Kubicki M Schizophr. Res. 2015 Jan;161(1):113-8 PMID: 25126717 Abstract In a previous study we have demonstrated, using a novel diffusion MRI analysis called free-water imaging, that the early stages of schizophrenia are more likely associated with a neuroinflammatory response and less so… read more →
