Delighted to see the paper describing the Reproducible Brain Charts open data resource now out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social. Paper + link to data below; huge congrats to @goliashf.bsky.social @milhammichael.bsky.social and the whole RBC team. Lots of people (>2,500 downloads) are already using RBC!

Finally, when predicting cognitive performance from different sets of bundle features, GQI and SS3T outperformed CSD. Overall, we observed prediction accuracies comparable to those predicting cognition from WM features extracted from more advanced scans. 8/n

We also found that SS3T had the highest ICC for both volumetric and microstructure (FA, MD) features 7/n

But are reconstructions also biologically plausible? Amelie found that GQI had the highest specificity -- but often yielded incomplete bundles. CSD showed the opposite-- over inclusive bundles with lower specificity. SS3T showed the best balance between sensitivity and specificity. 6/n

Amelie found that all major WM bundles can be reliably reconstructed for all three reconstruction methods. Furthermore, methods showed high discriminability (>0.94), but SS3T yielded the highest. 5/n

In our study, Amelie reconstructed 60 WM tracts in test-retest data from 1221 subjects of the PNC dataset with single-shell, 32-direction dMRI acquisitions. Three methods for ODF reconstruction applicable to this type of data were compared: GQI, CSD, and SS3T. 4/n

New preprint from stellar IRTG PhD student Amelie Rauland + team on white matter bundle reconstruction! Shows that WM bundles can be reliably extracted from simple 32-direction dMRI & features predict cognition - huge potential for legacy and clinical data. Thread 👇
