TLDR
An automated method for accurately measuring the thickness of the cerebral cortex across the entire brain and for generating cross-subject statistics in a coordinate system based on cortical anatomy is presented.Abstract:
Accurate and automated methods for measuring the thickness of human cerebral cortex could provide powerful tools for diagnosing and studying a variety of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Manual methods for estimating cortical thickness from neuroimaging data are labor intensive, requiring several days of effort by a trained anatomist. Furthermore, the highly folded nature of the cortex is problematic for manual techniques, frequently resulting in measurement errors in regions in which the cortical surface is not perpendicular to any of the cardinal axes. As a consequence, it has been impractical to obtain accurate thickness estimates for the entire cortex in individual subjects, or group statistics for patient or control populations. Here, we present an automated method for accurately measuring the thickness of the cerebral cortex across the entire brain and for generating cross-subject statistics in a coordinate system based on cortical anatomy. The intersubject standard deviation of the thickness measures is shown to be less than 0.5 mm, implying the ability to detect focal atrophy in small populations or even individual subjects. The reliability and accuracy of this new method are assessed by within-subject test-retest studies, as well as by comparison of cross-subject regional thickness measures with published values.read more

Human parietal cortex structure predicts individual differences in perceptual rivalry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the structure of the bilateral superior parietal lobe (SPL) could account for interindividual variability in perceptual alternation rate, and that transient disruption of these areas indeed decreases the rate of perceptual switch rate.

TL;DR: Differences in genetic influences on cortical thickness along a dorsal-ventral axis in the same cohort are demonstrated using noninvasive imaging techniques to acquire brain structure data of genetically related subjects and provide a glimpse into emerging principles of genetic organization of the cortex.

TL;DR: Although AD image sets were most difficult to strip, HWA and BSE were more robust across diagnostic groups compared with 3dIntracranial and BET, and HWA was more sensitive than other methods with respect to specificity.

TL;DR: Results indicate that morphometric changes in MCI and AD are not secondary to CSF biomarker changes and that the two types of biomarkers yield complementary information.
