Abnormal functional connectivity during visuospatial processing is associated with disrupted organisation of white matter in autism.
(2013)Disruption of structural and functional neural connectivity has been widely reported in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but there is a striking lack of research attempting to integrate analysis of functional and structural ... -
Abnormal functional connectivity in autism spectrum disorder is associated with disrupted white matter microstructural organisation
(2013)Disruption of structural and functional neural connectivity has been widely reported in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but there is a striking lack of research attempting to integrate analysis of functional and structural ... -
Current Practice in the Referral of Individuals with Suspected Dementia for Neuroimaging by General Practitioners in Ireland and Wales
(2016)Objectives While early diagnosis of dementia is important, the question arises whether general practitioners (GPs) should engage in direct referrals. The current study investigated current referral practices for ... -
Deep Learning for Neuroimaging: Advancing Brain-Based Biomarkers of Autism Spectrum Disorder
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Psychiatry, 2023)In the last decade, deep learning (DL) has revolutionised fields like speech and vision through artificial neural networks. Can DL similarly transform biological psychiatry and neuroimaging? This thesis explores that ... -
Experimental Design
(Humana Press, 2009)Non-invasive functional neuroimaging techniques enable researchers to study the neurobiological substrates of psychological processes. The increasingly large body of neuroimaging research has two fundamental purposes. ... -
Microstructural Correlates of Resilience against Major Depressive Disorder: Epigenetic Mechanisms?
(2010)Mental disorders are a major cause of long-term disability and are a direct cause of mortality, with approximately 800.000 individuals dying from suicide every year worldwide ? a high proportion of them related to major ... -
Multisensory processing in review: From physiology to behaviour
(Brill Academic, 2010)Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and functional brain imaging through to behaviour, perception ... -
Neuroimaging correlates of disability in Motor Neuron Disease
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2024)Motor neuron diseases (MND) clinically present with a wide variety of motor and extra-motor symptoms. However, the pathological correlates of such symptom manifestation and their progression is poorly understood. In the ... -
Neuroimaging features of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2024)Novelty: Because the vast majority of ALS imaging studies focus on evaluating motor pathology, the focus and novelty of this work is the nuanced characterisation of extra-motor involvement in a genetically stratified cohort ... -
Predictive and explanatory models of cigarette smoking: Computational approaches to understanding nicotine addiction
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2019)Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide, causing 6 million deaths every year (WHO, 2011). Most people try smoking for the first time in adolescence (O?Loughlin et al., 2014), making this a critical ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents
(2015)Despite the recognition that cortical thickness is heritable and correlates with intellectual ability in children and adolescents, the genes contributing to individual differences in these traits remain unknown. We conducted ...
