Asami T, Bouix S, Whitford TJ, Shenton ME, Salisbury DF, McCarley RW Neuroimage 2012 Jan;59(2):986-96 PMID: 21924364 Abstract Region of Interest (ROI) longitudinal studies have detected progressive gray matter (GM) volume reductions in patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FESZ). However, there are only a few longitudinal voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies, and… read more →
Tanev K, Sablosky M, Vento J, O’Hanlon D Neurocase 2012 Jun;18(3):224-34 PMID: 21879994 Abstract OBJECTIVE: Assess the contribution of structural and functional neuroimaging methods to the diagnosis of dementia. METHODS: This was a retrospective chart and imaging review. Participants were 24 inpatient dementia cases from a general hospital-based, university medical… read more →
Venkataraman A, Rathi Y, Kubicki M, Westin CF, Golland P IEEE Trans Med Imaging 2012 Feb;31(2):164-82 PMID: 21878411 Abstract We propose a novel probabilistic framework to merge information from diffusion weighted imaging tractography and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging correlations to identify connectivity patterns in the brain. In particular, we… read more →
Zhong M, Wang X, Xiao J, Yi J, Zhu X, Liao J, Wang W, Yao S Biol Psychol 2011 Dec;88(2-3):233-42 PMID: 21878364 Abstract The hopelessness theory (HT) of depression is a diathesis-stress theory which construes cognitive vulnerability (CV) to depression. Neuroimaging studies examining depression have implicated the amygdala as an… read more →
Tang Y, Li Y, Wang N, Li H, Li H, Wang J Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry 2011 Dec;35(8):1891-900 PMID: 21888943 Abstract To characterize the altered directed connectivity within a distributed cortical network, as is associated with the impaired attention modulation involved in the manifestation of mood disorder in depression, short-window… read more →
Whitford TJ, Savadjiev P, Kubicki M, O’Donnell LJ, Terry DP, Bouix S, Westin CF, Schneiderman JS, Bobrow L, Rausch AC, Niznikiewicz M, Nestor PG, Pantelis C, Wood SJ, McCarley RW, Shenton ME Schizophr. Res. 2011 Oct;132(1):69-74 PMID: 21831601 Abstract BACKGROUND: Structural abnormalities in the callosal fibers connecting the heteromodal association… read more →
Whitford TJ, Kubicki M, Shenton ME Schizophr Res Treatment 2011;2011:709523 PMID: 22937272 Abstract A fundamental tenet of the “disconnectivity” theories of schizophrenia is that the disorder is ultimately caused by abnormal communication between spatially disparate brain structures. Given that the white matter fasciculi represent the primary infrastructure for long distance… read more →
Capitão L, Sampaio A, Sampaio C, Vasconcelos C, Férnandez M, Garayzábal E, Shenton ME, Gonçalves OF Res Dev Disabil 2011 Nov-Dec;32(6):2767-72 PMID: 21752593 Abstract One of the most intriguing characteristics of Williams Syndrome individuals is their hypersociability. The amygdala has been consistently implicated in the etiology of this social profile,… read more →
Blumenfeld-Katzir T, Pasternak O, Dagan M, Assaf Y PLoS ONE 2011;6(6):e20678 PMID: 21701690 Abstract BACKGROUND: Activity-induced structural remodeling of dendritic spines and glial cells was recently proposed as an important factor in neuroplasticity and suggested to accompany the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). Although T1 and diffusion MRI have been… read more →
Dickey CC, Panych LP, Voglmaier MM, Niznikiewicz MA, Terry DP, Murphy C, Zacks R, Shenton ME, McCarley RW Schizophr. Res. 2011 Sep;131(1-3):242-9 PMID: 21640557 Abstract BACKGROUND: Patients with schizophrenia have deficits in facial affect expression and detection that hinder social interactions. The goal of this study was to examine whether… read more →
