    Cross-species standardised cortico-subcortical tractography

    Stephania Assimopoulos, Shaun Warrington ... Stamatios N Sotiropoulos
    By providing new ways to map cortico-subcortical connectivity patterns, the proposed cross-species tractography approaches directly allow novel comparative studies between the human and macaque brain and enable subsequent explorations of brain-behaviour/disease symptom associations across individuals.

    Cerebellar Purkinje cell stripe patterns reveal a differential vulnerability and resistance to cell loss during normal aging in mice

    Sarah G Donofrio, Cheryl Brandenburg ... Roy V Sillitoe
    Purkinje cell subpopulations have varying vulnerability to age-related neurodegeneration, creating a striped pattern of cell loss that reflects the developmental, anatomical, and functional organization of the cerebellum.
