Article Abstract
Hypogenesis (hCC) and dysgenesis (dCC) of the corpus callosum (CC) are characterized by its smaller size or absence. The outcomes of these patients vary considerably and are unrelated to the size of the CC abnormality. The aim of the current study was to characterize the sulcal pattern in children with hCC and dCC and to explore its relation to clinical outcome. We used quantitative sulcal pattern analysis that measures deviation (similarity index, SI) of the composite or individual sulcal features (position, depth, area, and graph topology) compared to the control group. We calculated SI for each hemisphere and lobe in 11 children with CC disorder (hCC = 4, dCC = 7) and 15 controls. hCC and dCC had smaller hemispheric SI compared to controls. dCC subjects had smaller regional SI in the frontal and occipital lobes, which were driven by a smaller SI in a position or a graph topology. The significantly decreased SI gradient was found across groups only in the sulcal graph topology of the temporal lobes (controls > hCC > dCC) and was related to clinical outcome. Our results suggest that careful examination of sulcal pattern in hCC and dCC patients could be a useful biomarker of outcome.

Background: One of the most persistent questions in autism research is why males are more consistently diagnosed than females. Neuroimaging studies have sought to understand this disparity by examining sex differences, primarily through functional and structural connectivity. However, much less is known about how brain networks are organized in autism from a morphological perspective, and how this organization may help explain its sex-related characteristics.

Understanding the development of complex brain surface morphologies during the fetal stage is essential for uncovering mechanisms underlying brain disorders linked to abnormal cortical folding. However, knowledge of the spatiotemporal evolution of fetal brain landmarks remains limited due to the lack of longitudinal data capturing multiple timepoints for individual brains. In this study, we develop and validate an image-based true-scale mechanical model to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of brain sulcal pits in individual fetal brains.

Introduction: Perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (pmSAH) is a rare, typically benign subtype of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). While the majority of patients demonstrate a positive recovery trajectory, a subset of patients experiences complications, including vasospasm, hydrocephalus, or delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Reliable imaging markers for risk stratification are lacking.

For centuries, anatomists have charted the folding patterns of the sulci of the cerebral cortex in primates. Improvements in neuroimaging technologies over the past decades have led to advancements in understanding of the sulcal organization of the human cerebral cortex, yet comparisons to chimpanzees, one of humans' closest extant phylogenetic relatives, remain to be performed in many regions, such as superior temporal cortex. For example, while several posterior branches, or rami, of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) have been identified in great apes since the late 1800s, no study has yet to comprehensively identify and quantitatively compare these rami across species.

Intracortical arterioles are key locations for blood flow regulation and oxygen supply in the brain and are critical to brain health and disease. However, imaging such small (<100-μm-sized) vessels in humans is challenging. Here, using non-human primates as a model, we developed a capability for imaging microvasculature in vivo with a clinical 7 T MRI scanner.
