High-quality multimodal MRI with simultaneous EEG using conductive ink and polymer-thick film nets Open
Objective . Combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) provides a powerful tool for investigating brain function at varying spatial and temporal scales. Simultaneous acquisition of both modalities can provi…

Histology-guided MRI segmentation of brainstem nuclei critical to consciousness Open
While substantial progress has been made in mapping the connectivity of cortical networks responsible for conscious awareness, neuroimaging analysis of subcortical arousal networks that modulate arousal (i.e., wakefulness) has been limited…

Differential cortical and subcortical visual processing with eyes shut Open
When we close our eyes coarse luminance information is still accessible by the visual system. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we examined whether eyelid closure plays a unique role in visual processing. We discovered that whil…

Locus coeruleus neuromelanin accumulation and dissipation across the lifespan Open
The pigment neuromelanin, produced in the locus coeruleus (LC) as a byproduct of catecholamine synthesis, gives the “blue spot” its name, and both identifies LC neurons and is thought to play an important yet complex role in normal and pat…

Attention-dependent coupling with forebrain and brainstem neuromodulatory nuclei changes across the lifespan Open
Attentional states continuously reflect the predictability and uncertainty in one’s environment having important consequences for learning and memory. Beyond well known cortical contributions, rapid shifts in attention are hypothesized to …

Differential cortical and subcortical visual processing with eyes shut Open
Closing our eyes largely shuts down our ability to see. That said, our eyelids still pass some light, allowing our visual system to coarsely process information about visual scenes, such as changes in luminance. However, the specific impac…
