Microstructural characterization of short association fibers related to long-range white matter tracts in normative development. Human Brain Mapping. 2025;46(8):e70255. doi:10.1002/hbm.70255. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hbm.70255 Abstract Short association fibers (SAFs) in the superficial white matter play a key role in mediating local cortical connections...
Harmonized Connectome Resampling for Variance in Voxel Sizes
Nov. 24, 2025—Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), fiber orientation distributions (FODs), tractography, and connectomics present exciting opportunities to deepen our knowledge of human brain connectivity and discover novel alterations in white matter. To date, there has been no comprehensive study characterizing the effect of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) voxel resolution on the resulting connectome for high resolution...
