Altered gray matter morphometry in psychogenic erectile dysfunction patients: A Surface-based morphometry study [PDF]
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) is a prevalent male sexual dysfunction lacking organic etiology. Endeavors have been made in previous studies to disclose the brain pathological mechanisms of pED. However, the cortical morphological characteristics

MP2RAGE vs. MPRAGE surface-based morphometry in focal epilepsy. [PDF]
In drug-resistant focal epilepsy, detecting epileptogenic lesions using MRI poses a critical diagnostic challenge. Here, we assessed the utility of MP2RAGE-a T1-weighted sequence with self-bias correcting properties commonly utilized in ultra-high field ...

Longitudinal Surface‐Based Morphometry Changes in the Hippocampus in Dementia [PDF]
Abstract The hippocampus is central to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), characterized by atrophy and cognitive decline. While volume loss is well-documented, surface-based morphometric (SBM) features—curvature, gyrification, and thickness—remain less explored.

Surface-based morphometry study of the brain in benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. [PDF]
The study aimed to explore cortical morphology in benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS) and the relationship between cortical characteristics and age of onset and intelligence quotient (IQ).Cortical morphometry with surface-based morphometry (SBM) was used to compare changes in cortical thickness, gyrification, sulcal depth, and ...

Automated search of control points in surface-based morphometry
Cortical surface-based morphometry is based on a semi-automated analysis of structural MRI images. In FreeSurfer, a widespread tool for surface-based analyses, a visual check of gray-white matter borders is followed by the manual placement of control points to drive the topological correction (editing) of segmented data.
