TL;DR: While significant diagnosis comparisons were observed, overall greater discrimination from healthy controls was observed for lower FAt in Biotype 1 and elevated FW in Biotsype 2, and between-group differences were modest, with one region (cerebral peduncle) showing a between-Biotype effect.

TL;DR: A technique to simultaneously estimate a weighted, positive-definite multi-tensor fiber model and perform tractography within a filter framework that significantly improves the angular resolution at crossings and branchings while consistently estimating the mixture weights.

TL;DR: The focus on brain networks (or connectomes), as opposed to single connections between brain regions, is a significant step forward because neural networks can be studied using new sophisticated models that open up avenues of research that make possible comprehensive analysis of structural and functional brain connectivity in normal individuals and in individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors track the evolution of white matter abnormalities in a large, longitudinal cohort of clinical high risk individuals comprising the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study (NAPLS-3) and fit linear mixed effects models to infer the impact of age and illness onset on variation in the fractional anisotropy of cellular tissue and the volume fraction of extracellular free water (FW).

TL;DR: In this article, a new parcellation of the dentate nuclei (DN), the major output nuclei of the cerebellum, which optimally divides the structure into three functional territories that contribute uniquely to default-mode, motor-salience, and visual processing networks as indexed by resting-state functional connectivity (RsFc).
