The human brain is remarkably complex with connectivity constituting its basic organizing
principle. Although long-range connectivity has been focused on in most research, short …

Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging has been widely used for estimating myelin content in
the brain. Recently, two other approaches, namely simultaneous tissue relaxometry of R1 …

Background Impairment in facial emotion perception is an important domain of social
cognition deficits in schizophrenia. Although impaired facial emotion perception has been …

White matter maturation is a nonlinear and heterogeneous phenomenon characterized by
axonal packing, increased axon caliber, and a prolonged period of myelination. While …

The current theory implying local, short-range overconnectivity in autism spectrum disorder,
contrasting with long-range underconnectivity, is based on heterogeneous results, on limited …

Short association fibers (U-fibers) connect proximal cortical areas and constitute the majority
of white matter connections in the human brain. U-fibers play an important role in brain …

Objectives Quantitative synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables the
determination of fundamental tissue properties, namely, T1 and T2 relaxation times and …

Superficial white matter (SWM) represents a significantly understudied part of the human
brain, despite comprising a large portion of brain volume and making up a majority of cortico …

Statistical effects of cortical metrics derived from standard T1‐and T2‐weighted magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) images, such as gray–white matter contrast (GWC), boundary …

It is estimated that short association fibers running immediately beneath the cortex may
make up as much as 60% of the total white matter volume. However, these have been …
