The eggshells of palaeognath birds (e.g. ostrich, moa, kiwi, emu) have diverse homology and convergent features, and are useful modern analogues for the evolution of non-avian dinosaur eggshells.

In vivo quantitative analysis of multi-shell diffusion MRI reveals novel insights into microstructure of human insular cortex and its functional circuits associated with the salience network and cognitive control.

Training attention-mindfulness, emotion-motivational, and social cognitive skills over the course of 3 months alters brain functional and microstructural organization as a function of training content.

Prenatal stress is transmitted to infant development through cortisol, which imparts sex-specific effects on the development and connectivity of the amygdalae.

Diffusion-MRI-based cerebral cortical microstructure encoding regionally differential dendritic arborization and synaptic formation at birth robustly predicts future 2-year-old cognitive and language outcomes with regionally heterogeneous contribution that exhibits functional selectivity.

Layer-specific microstructural changes contribute to the maturation of cortical organisation during adolescence.

Parasite migration between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar and ongoing transmission clusters within Zanzibar highlight the need for continued preventive measures to reduce malaria transmission in the archipelago.

White matter microstructure alterations in key bundles affected in Alzheimer's disease are related to amyloid and tau pathology in the preclinical phase of sporadic and autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease.

Revealing two distinct brain systems linked to obesity, this research illuminates the intricate relationship between obesity, brain microstructure and genetics with potential implications for treatment and prevention.
