Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Laura Cabral et al has published a new hot piece called: Multivariate and Regional Age-Related Change in Basal Ganglia Iron in Neonates which was recently accepted into Cerebral Cortex! Turns out my obsession with metal wasn’t just a phase, its in our brains from birth! Laura used brain tissue iron in the basal ganglia to assess…
A comprehensive exam is a key milestone in the progression through a Doctoral degree. The exam involves doing a thorough review of current research and developing a novel project to advance the field of a student’s interest. Joy’s interest were in multimodal imaging and especially Morphometric Similarity Networks (MSNs). The exam is overseen by three DBMI professors who evaluated Joy’s…
Title: Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Properties of Cerebrospinal Fluid and Brain Health Outcomes in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Vince will use his F31 to study alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and flow dynamics congenital heart disease (CHD) in children. He is trying to demonstrate that alterations in CSF volumes and perturbation to CSF circulation play a role in poor neurodevelopmental…
Exceptional doctoral and postdoctoral students can be given government grants to help them pay for tuition and living while undergoing their studies. William Reynolds, Joy Roy, and Laura Cabral are all such students who are currently funded by The National Library of Medicine’s T15 grant. As part of the stipulations of receiving the grant, these must go to a training…
Vince Lee presented at 31st Annual International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine held from May 7-14 in London, UK. Vince gave a podium presentation for his abstract “Early Postnatal Multi-modal MRI Structural Trajectory of Brain Dysmaturation Predicts Early Childhood Language Outcomes in Complex CHD”. This work is based on neonatal brain volume and white matter tract trajectories examined over…
