Connectivity of the human pedunculopontine nucleus region and diffusion tensor imaging in surgical targeting. by Muthusamy, K, Aravamuthan, B, Kringelbach, M, Jenkinson, N, Voets, N, Johansen-Berg, H, Stein, J, Aziz, T

“…CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that connections of the PPN region with the primary motor cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, and spinal cord may play important roles in the regulation of movement by the PPN region. Diffusion tensor imaging tractography of the PPN region may be used preoperatively to optimize placement of stimulation electrodes and postoperatively it may also be useful to reassess electrode positions.…”

Differences in integrity of white matter and changes with training in spelling impaired children: a diffusion tensor imaging study. by Gebauer, D, Fink, A, Filippini, N, Johansen-Berg, H, Reishofer, G, Koschutnig, K, Kargl, R, Purgstaller, C, Fazekas, F, Enzinger, C

“…While the functional correlates of spelling impairment have been rarely investigated, to our knowledge no study exists regarding the structural characteristics of spelling impairment and potential changes with interventions. Using diffusion tensor imaging at 3.0 T, we here therefore sought to investigate (a) differences between children with poor spelling abilities (training group and waiting group) and controls, and (b) the effects of a morpheme-based spelling intervention in children with poor spelling abilities on DTI parameters. …”

Individual differences in slow wave sleep architecture relate to variation in white matter microstructure across adulthood by Gudberg, C, Stevelink, R, Douaud, G, Wulff, K, Lazari, A, Fleming, MK, Johansen-Berg, H

A consistent relationship between local white matter architecture and functional specialisation in medial frontal cortex. by Behrens, T, Jenkinson, M, Robson, M, Smith, S, Johansen-Berg, H

“…Here, we explore this relationship in the supplementary motor area (SMA) and pre-SMA in the medial frontal cortex of the human brain. Using diffusion tensor, conventional and functional MR imaging, we find that the location of the functional boundary between SMA and preSMA is more consistent with respect to specific features of the local white matter as it approaches neocortex than with respect to the local gyral and sulcal anatomy in the region.…”
