[HTML][HTML] Open and reproducible neuroimaging: from study inception to publication

…, T Schmitt, W Sójka, AS Wagner, KJ Whitaker… - NeuroImage, 2022 - Elsevier
Empirical observations of how labs conduct research indicate that the adoption rate of open
practices for transparent, reproducible, and collaborative science remains in its infancy. This …

Adolescence is associated with genomically patterned consolidation of the hubs of the human brain connectome

KJ Whitaker, PE Vértes… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
How does human brain structure mature during adolescence? We used MRI to measure
cortical thickness and intracortical myelination in 297 population volunteers aged 14–24 y old. …

[PDF][PDF] Morphometric similarity networks detect microscale cortical organization and predict inter-individual cognitive variation

…, F Váša, M Shinn, R Romero-Garcia, KJ Whitaker… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Macroscopic cortical networks are important for cognitive function, but it remains challenging
to construct anatomically plausible individual structural connectomes from human …

Cortical patterning of abnormal morphometric similarity in psychosis is associated with brain expression of schizophrenia-related genes

SE Morgan, J Seidlitz, KJ Whitaker… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Schizophrenia has been conceived as a disorder of brain connectivity, but it is unclear how
this network phenotype is related to the underlying genetics. We used morphometric …

Adolescent tuning of association cortex in human structural brain networks

…, J Seidlitz, R Romero-Garcia, KJ Whitaker… - Cerebral …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Motivated by prior data on local cortical shrinkage and intracortical myelination, we predicted
age-related changes in topological organization of cortical structural networks during …

Gene transcription profiles associated with inter-modular hubs and connection distance in human functional magnetic resonance imaging networks

PE Vértes, T Rittman, KJ Whitaker… - … of the Royal …, 2016 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain networks have a complex

[PDF][PDF] Centering inclusivity in the design of online conferences—An OHBM–Open Science perspective

…, T Glatard, A Nikolaidis, KJ Whitaker… - …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
As the global health crisis unfolded, many academic conferences moved online in 2020. This
move has been hailed as a positive step towards inclusivity in its attenuation of economic, …

[HTML][HTML] Structural covariance networks are coupled to expression of genes enriched in supragranular layers of the human cortex

R Romero-Garcia, KJ Whitaker, F Váša, J Seidlitz… - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
Complex network topology is characteristic of many biological systems, including anatomical
and functional brain networks (connectomes). Here, we first constructed a structural …

A neuroimaging biomarker for striatal dysfunction in schizophrenia

…, W Yue, O Howes, H Yan, Y Liu, L Fan, KJ Whitaker… - Nature Medicine, 2020 - nature.com
Mounting evidence suggests that function and connectivity of the striatum is disrupted in
schizophrenia 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 – 5 . We have developed a new hypothesis-driven neuroimaging …

[HTML][HTML] Experience-dependent plasticity in white matter microstructure: reasoning training alters structural connectivity

AP Mackey, KJ Whitaker, SA Bunge - Frontiers in neuroanatomy, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques have made it possible to investigate white matter
plasticity in humans. Changes in DTI measures, principally increases in fractional anisotropy (…
