Interesting fNIRS"NARPS"study. Interesting to see how research experience is correlated to confidence and results agreement.

On the analysis of functional PET (fPET)-FDG: baseline mischaracterization can introduce artifactual metabolic (de)activations Abstract. Functional Positron Emission Tomography (fPET) with (bolus plus) constant infusion of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose FDG), known as fPET-FDG, is a recently introduced technique in human neuroimagi...

Someone should examine who continues to publish in NeuroImage — there might be a pattern worth exploring.

Innate [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose PET bone networks of lung cancer patients predict survival - European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Purpose Prognostication of lung cancer patients remains challenging clinically. This study aims to address this problem by investigating the utility of bone glucose metabolism networks as a prognostic...

For those working with HCP data, how do you account for the acquisition phase as a factor? In our analysis, we found significant differences in ReHo values between the LR and RL phase acquisitions.

Glucose metabolism in hyper-connected regions predicts neurodegeneration and speed of conversion in Alzheimer’s disease - European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Purpose Here, we combined a longitudinal design to assess whole-brain hyper- and hypo-connectivity in the different clinical phases of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with a multimodal approach to understand...

The history and future of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging - Nature This Review provides an overview of the history of resting-state functional MRI research, which has helped to reveal the spatiotemporal organization of the brain, and discusses how it can contribute f...

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If one starts with some other numbers, then it might be easier to notice, e.g. R21...

Interesting dataset

Study highlights cancer risk from millions of CT scans performed annually They can be life-saving but radiation from the scans also contributes to cancer risk. The authors of a new study estimate overuse of CT scans is increasing the U.S. cancer burden.
