Levitt JJ, Alvarado JL, Nestor PG, Rosow L, Pelavin PE, McCarley RW, Kubicki M, Shenton ME Schizophr. Res. 2012 Apr;136(1-3):55-62 PMID: 22019073 Abstract INTRODUCTION: Higher cognitive functioning is mediated by frontal-subcortical cognitive and limbic feedback sub-loops. The thalamo-cortical projection through the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) serves as… read more →
Oh JS, Jang JH, Jung WH, Kang DH, Choi JS, Choi CH, Kubicki M, Shenton ME, Kwon JS Hum Brain Mapp 2012 Oct;33(10):2441-52 PMID: 21922600 Abstract It is widely accepted that abnormalities in the frontal area of the brain underpin the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Fundamental to this investigation… read more →
Metzler-Baddeley C, O’Sullivan MJ, Bells S, Pasternak O, Jones DK Neuroimage 2012 Jan;59(2):1394-403 PMID: 21924365 Abstract Diffusion MRI is used extensively to investigate changes in white matter microstructure related to brain development and pathology. Ageing, however, is also associated with significant white and grey matter loss which in turn can… 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 →
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 →
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 →
Mulert C, Kirsch V, Whitford TJ, Alvarado J, Pelavin P, McCarley RW, Kubicki M, Salisbury DF, Shenton ME World J. Biol. Psychiatry 2012 Feb;13(2):153-8 PMID: 21623667 Abstract OBJECTIVES: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are among the most common symptoms in schizophrenia. Earlier studies suggest changes in the structural connectivity of auditory… read more →
Choi H, Kubicki M, Whitford TJ, Alvarado JL, Terry DP, Niznikiewicz M, McCarley RW, Kwon JS, Shenton ME Schizophr. Res. 2011 Aug;130(1-3):78-85 PMID: 21561738 Abstract INTRODUCTION: Alterations in white matter connections in schizophrenia have been investigated using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). There is also evidence from post-mortem studies as well… read more →
