Recent Publications supported by UNC Core Facilities- SurfFlow: A Flow-Based Approach for Rapid and Accurate Cortical Surface Reconstruction from Infant Brain MRI October 9, 2024The infant brain undergoes rapid changes in volume, shape, and structural organization during the first postnatal year. Accurate cortical surface reconstruction (CSR) is essential for understanding rapid changes in cortical morphometry during early brain development. However, existing CSR methods, designed for adult brain MRI, fall short in reconstructing cortical surfaces from infant MRI, owing to […]Xiaoyang Chen
- Dynamic Functional Connectome Harmonics October 9, 2024Functional connectivity (FC) "gradients" enable investigation of connection topography in relation to cognitive hierarchy, and yield the primary axes along which FC is organized. In this work, we employ a variant of the "gradient" approach wherein we solve for the normal modes of FC, yielding functional connectome harmonics. Until now, research in this vein has […]Hoyt Patrick Taylor
- Blending motor learning approaches for short-term adjustments to gait in people with Parkinson disease October 3, 2024Rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC) using an isochronous metronome is an effective approach to immediately enhance spatiotemporal aspects of gait for people with Parkinson disease (PwPD). Whereas entraining to RAC typically occurs subconsciously via cerebellar pathways, the use of metronome frequencies that deviate from one's typical cadence, such as those used in rehabilitation, may require conscious […]Chelsea Parker Duppen
