Resolving bundle-specific intra-axonal T2 values within a voxel using diffusion-relaxation tract-based estimation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Cristina Granziera

At the typical spatial resolution of MRI in the human brain, approximately 60–90% of voxels contain multiple fiber populations. Quantifying microstructural properties of distinct fiber populations within a voxel is therefore challenging but necessary. Whil ...

Unequal cleavage of the C. elegans zygote ensures robust embryogenesis

Radek Jankele

Asymmetric cell divisions play key roles in generating cellular diversity during embryogenesis, and in tissue homeostasis during postembryonic life. Particular asymmetric cell divisions producing differentially sized daughter cells were described in many s ...

Probing myelin content of the human brain with MRI: A review

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda

Rapid and efficient transmission of electric signals among neurons of vertebrates is ensured by myelin-insulating sheaths surrounding axons. Human cognition, sensation, and motor functions rely on the integrity of these layers, and demyelinating diseases o ...

Impacts of thermal mismatches on chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis prevalence are moderated by life stage, body size, elevation and latitude

Suzanne Marie Young

Global climate change is increasing the frequency of unpredictable weather conditions; however, it remains unclear how species-level and geographic factors, including body size and latitude, moderate impacts of unusually warm or cool temperatures on diseas ...

Gradients of structure-function tethering across neocortex

Patric Hagmann

The white matter architecture of the brain imparts a distinct signature on neuronal coactivation patterns. Interregional projections promote synchrony among distant neuronal populations, giving rise to richly patterned functional networks. A variety of sta ...

Generalized size scaling of metabolic rates based on single-cell measurements with freshwater phytoplankton

Anders Meibom, Andrea Rinaldo, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Andrea Giometto, Silvia Zaoli, Emilio Marañón, Amos Maritan

Kleiber's law describes the scaling of metabolic rate with body size across several orders of magnitude in size and across taxa and is widely regarded as a fundamental law in biology. The physiological origins of Kleiber's law are still debated and general ...

Male competition and the evolution of mating and ire-history traits in experimental populations of Aedes aegypti

Brian Dennis Hollis

Aedes aegypti is an important disease vector and a major target of reproductive control efforts. We manipulated the opportunity for sexual selection in populations of Ae. aegypti by controlling the number of males competing for a single female. Populations ...
