Automated quality control of small animal MR neuroimaging data

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable tool for studying brain structure and function in animal and clinical studies. With the growth of public MRI repositories, access to data has finally become easier. However, filtering large datasets for potent ...

Brain microstructural and functional MRI: developments and application to a rat model of Alzheimer's disease

Yujian Diao

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a valuable tool in investigating the pathological cascade of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its progression, which are still open questions. Although some MRI-derived hallmarks in terms of functional connectivity and ...

A consensus protocol for functional connectivity analysis in the rat brain

Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Valerio Zerbi, Ting Yin, Yujian Diao

Task-free functional connectivity in animal models provides an experimental framework to examine connectivity phenomena under controlled conditions and allows for comparisons with data modalities collected under invasive or terminal procedures. Currently, ...

PIRACY: An Optimized Pipeline for Functional Connectivity Analysis in the Rat Brain

Rolf Gruetter, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Ting Yin, Yujian Diao

Resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) is a widespread and powerful tool for investigating functional connectivity (FC) and brain disorders. However, FC analysis can be seriously affected by random and structured noise from non-neural sources, such as phys ...

Synchronous nonmonotonic changes in functional connectivity and white matter integrity in a rat model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease

Bernard Lanz, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Ting Yin, Yujian Diao

Brain glucose hypometabolism has been singled out as an important contributor and possibly main trigger to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Intracerebroventricular injections of streptozotocin (icv-STZ) cause brain glucose hypometabolism without systemic diabetes ...
