  Intracranial electrophysiological and structural basis of BOLD functional connectivity in human brain white matter

  Whether connectivity in white matter detected by functional MRI relates to underlying electrophysiological synchronization is unclear. Here, the authors show that blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) functional connectivity and intracranial stereotactic-electroencephalography (SEEG) connectivity are correlated across a wide range of frequency bands.

  Diffusion MRI anisotropy in the cerebral cortex is determined by unmyelinated tissue features

  In gray matter, the relative contributions of myelinated axons and other tissue features to diffusion MRI (dMRI) are poorly understood. Here the authors combine ex vivo high-resolution dMRI of marmoset brain with histological sections of the same brain, and their findings suggest that in cortex, dMRI does not match the spatial distribution of myelin in the gray matter.

  Multimodal image registration and connectivity analysis for integration of connectomic data from microscopy to MRI

  Many approaches exist to process data from individual imaging modalities, but integrating them is challenging. The authors develop an automated resource that enables co-registered network- and tract-level analysis of macroscopic in-vivo imaging and microscopic imaging of cleared tissue.
