Zheng, Z., Reggente, N., Lutkenhoff, E., Owen, A., Monti, M. Amy Zheng presented this poster at SfN in Washington, D.C (2014) SfN 2014 Poster Brief: In this study we used probabilist tractography on diffusion tensor imaging data to look at the whole brain’s anatomical connectivity index with the Left and Right Thalamus for patients with […]

Very proud of my research assistants(first and second authors) putting this one together! 2014_UCLA_Science_Day_Poster Kommers, C.1,+, Raccah, O.1,+, Reggente, N.,1 Rissman, J1,2 Although the hippocampus is well known to contribute to the storage and retrieval of long-term memories, emerging data suggests that the hippocampus may also contribute to the online maintenance of task-relevant representations in […]
Disentangling Disorders of Consciousnes: Insights from DTI and MVPA

CNS 2014 Poster: Zheng, Z., Reggente, N. et al. CNS 2014 Summary: For this poster we used Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) techniques to compute thalamo-cortical probabilistic tractography maps. That is, for every voxel in the Thalamus, we determined every other voxel in the brain’s probabilist structural connectivity with that voxel. We did this for a […]
Memory recall for high value items correlates with individual differences in white matter pathways associated with reward processing and fronto-temporal communication

Publication: Coming Soon SfN 2013 Poster: Reggente_SfN_2013 Summary: We used DTI to explore anatomical accounts for individual differences in the behavioral effects of value-directed remembering. We examined connectivity within the mesolimbic system by using probabilistic tractography algorithms to compute anatomical connectivity between each subject’s nucleus accumbens(NAcc) and ventral tegmental area(VTA). We also extracted mean fractional anisotropy […]
