Altered gray matter morphometry in psychogenic erectile dysfunction patients: A Surface-based morphometry study.

Scientific reports
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) is a prevalent male sexual dysfunction lacking organic etiology. Endeavors have been made in previous studies to disclose the brain pathological mechanisms of pED. However, the cortical morphological characteris...

Enhanced particle swarm optimization for feature selection in SVM-based Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.

Scientific reports
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by neuronal loss, leading to cognitive and behavioral decline. With the aging global population, AD incidence and its socioeconomic burden are increasing. Developing effectiv...

Multivariate brain morphological patterns across mood disorders: key roles of frontotemporal and cerebellar areas.

BMJ mental health
BACKGROUND: Differentiating major depressive disorder (MDD) from bipolar disorder (BD) remains a significant clinical challenge, as both disorders exhibit overlapping symptoms but require distinct treatment approaches. Advances in voxel-based morphom...

Menopausal hormone therapy and the female brain: Leveraging neuroimaging and prescription registry data from the UK Biobank cohort.

eLife
BACKGROUND: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is generally thought to be neuroprotective, yet results have been inconsistent. Here, we present a comprehensive study of MHT use and brain characteristics in females from the UK Biobank.

Predicting treatment response in individuals with major depressive disorder using structural MRI-based similarity features.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent mental health condition with significant societal impact. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and machine learning have shown promise in psychiatry, offering insights into brain abno...

Joint resting state and structural networks characterize pediatric bipolar patients compared to healthy controls: a multimodal fusion approach.

NeuroImage
Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) is a highly debilitating condition, characterized by alternating episodes of mania and depression, with intervening periods of remission. Limited information is available about the functional and structural abnormalit...

Structural brain pattern abnormalities in tinnitus with and without hearing loss.

Hearing research
OBJECTIVE: Subjective tinnitus often coexists with hearing loss, and they share common pathophysiological mechanisms. This comorbidity induces whole-brain gray matter volume (GMV) alterations, manifesting as distributed structural changes in neural n...

Comprehensive Segmentation of Gray Matter Structures on T1-Weighted Brain MRI: A Comparative Study of Convolutional Neural Network, Convolutional Neural Network Hybrid-Transformer or -Mamba Architectures.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent advances in deep learning have shown promising results in medical image analysis and segmentation. However, most brain MRI segmentation models are limited by the size of their data sets and/or the number of structures t...

Dynamic glucose enhanced imaging using direct water saturation.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: Dynamic glucose enhanced (DGE) MRI studies employ CEST or spin lock (CESL) to study glucose uptake. Currently, these methods are hampered by low effect size and sensitivity to motion. To overcome this, we propose to utilize exchange-based li...

Quantitative multislice and jointly optimized rapid CEST for in vivo whole-brain imaging.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: To develop a quantitative multislice chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) schedule optimization and pulse sequence that reduces the loss of sensitivity inherent to multislice sequences.
