The neuroanatomy of pictorial reasoning in autism
Individuals with autism present with a constellation of social, behavioral, and cognitive symptoms. A striking characteristic is the contrast between their language and visual processing abilities. The work in this thesis combines behavioral, functional MRI, and diffusion tensor imaging methods to …

Mapping the Brain of the Clonal Raider Ant: Integrating Behavior, Neuroanatomy and Connectomics
… in regulating sociality and describe the neuroanatomy of major neurotransmitter systems in the clonal raider ant brain. Unexpectedly, we discovered extensive phenotypicstructural plasticity across our collection of brain samples. Half of the ants displayed a left-tilted brain anatomy, …

Perinatal high-fat diet and Bisphenol A: effects on behavior, gene expression and neuroanatomy in the medial prefrontal cortex
… lasting changes in gene expression, behavior and neuroanatomy. Additionally, perinatal HFD has been reported to cause long-term alterations in anxiety behavior and gene expression in the brain. Given that BPA and HFD are both ubiquitous in the environment and Western society, it is important to …

Neurobiological aspects of social anxiety disorder
This thesis investigates the functional neuroanatomy of SAD [Social Anxiety Disorder] using an activation likelihood-estimate meta-analysis (ALE meta-analysis), and explores the structural basis of SAD using a cortical thickness and subcortical gray matter volume analysis.

Palaeobiology and flight capacity of volant palaeognaths (Pan-Palaeognathae: Lithornithidae): implications for the common ancestor of extant palaeognaths and early crown birds
… provide the clearest insights to date into the neuroanatomy of early crown group birds, combining an ancestrally unflexed brain with a moderately enlarged telencephalon and enlarged optic lobes. In Chapter 4, I redescribe the L. vulturinus neotype, providing new information gleaned from CT scans …

How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
… computational analysis, and comparative neuroanatomy to reconstruct the chronology and pattern of cerebral reorganisation. To develop a reproducible and user-independent protocol, a detailed examination of cortical sulcal imprints in extant Homo and Pan endocasts was conducted using …

Targeting MERTK on tumour cells and macrophages: a potential intervention for sporadic and NF2-related meningioma and schwannoma tumours
… cases involving tumours located near sensitive neuroanatomy or clinically vulnerable individuals. Not all schwannomas and meningiomas respond to alternative targeted treatments such as stereotactic radiosurgery or the vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor bevacizumab. The main objective …

The structural neurobiology of social anxiety disorder : a clinical neuroimaging study
… a number of studies have explored the functional neuroanatomy of social anxiety disorder (SAD), comparatively few studies have investigated the structural underpinnings in SAD. 18 psychopharmacologically and psychotherapeutically naïve adult patients with a primary Axis I diagnosis of generalized …

Automated detection of multiple sclerosis lesions in magnetic resonance images of the human brain
… approaches to machine learning. Knowledge of neuroanatomy is represented in the form of a tissue probability model. The model was constructed to provide a priori probabilities of brain tissue distribution per unit voxel in a standardized 3D 'brain space'. Use of the model to detect multiple …

The role of oligosaccharides in cognitive development
… pig is a large animal with strikingly similar neuroanatomy and gastrointestinal physiology to the human. We demonstrate that the pig can be used to investigate the development of recognition memory and use this to explore the impact of various oligosaccharides on cognitive development. …

Visual literacy in anatomy
… branches of anatomy (gross anatomy, histology, neuroanatomy, and embryology) involve significant amounts of visual identification. Understanding the spatial relationship and visual representations of anatomical structures forms the basis for much of anatomy education, particularly in laboratory …

Predicting learning success from patterns of pre-training magnetic resonance images
… might suggest that individual differences in neuroanatomy or persistent physiology predict whether and to what extent people will benefit from training in a complex task. To find out the physiology behind the possibility of predicting learning from time-averaged T2*-weighted images, a …

Differences in the Communicative Behavior and Neurobiology of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and Bonobos (Pan paniscus)
… differences in the communicative strategies and neuroanatomy of the two Pan species were driven by differences in foraging strategies since they diverged from a common ancestor approximately one million years ago.</p>

Models and algorithms of brain connectivity, spatial sparsity, and temporal dynamics for the MEG/EEG inverse problem
… dynamic models informed by neurophysiology and neuroanatomy can be used alongside advanced statistical and signal processing methods to greatly improve MEG/EEG source localization. More broadly, this work provides an example of how advanced modeling and algorithm development can be used to …
