Guillaume Turc, Pervinder Bhogal, Urs Fischer, Pooja Khatri, Kyriakos Lobotesis, Mikael Mazighi, Peter D. Schellinger, Danilo Toni, Joost de Vries, Philip White, Jens Fiehler

Summary: These guidelines, based on the standard operating procedure of the European Stroke Organisation, recommend mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with best medical management (BMM) to improve functional outcome in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) within 6 hours after symptom onset. They also provide details on prehospital management, patient selection, and treatment modalities.

Summary: This study evaluated whether mechanical thrombectomy (MT) alone is non-inferior to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) plus MT in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke. The recommendations suggest using IVT plus MT for patients directly admitted to a MT-capable center within 4.5 hours of symptoms onset, and IVT followed by rapid transfer to a MT-capable center for patients admitted to a center without MT facilities.

Summary: MRI-derived brain measures have been widely studied in bipolar disorder (BD) and provide insights into the connections between genes, the environment, and behavior. The ENIGMA Bipolar Disorder Working Group is a collaborative effort that aims to generate consensus findings and improve the replicability of studies on BD. Through large-scale neuroimaging studies, the working group has discovered patterns of brain alterations associated with BD, as well as the effects of medications and clinical risk profiles.

Data sharing and privacy issues in neuroimaging research: Opportunities, obstacles, challenges, and monsters under the bed

Tonya White, Elisabet Blok, Vince D. Calhoun

Summary: Collaborative networks and data sharing initiatives provide opportunities for scientific advancement by increasing transparency and enabling external research groups to reproduce and extend research findings. However, challenges arise with new laws that may appear restrictive for open science initiatives. Key to these laws is ensuring participants have control over how their data is used and following their wishes within the legal framework. This manuscript discusses various options and obstacles for data sharing, highlighting the intersection of data sharing, privacy, and data ownership.

Summary: Neuroimaging has been extensively used to study brain structure and function in individuals with ADHD and ASD. However, there have been limitations in the current literature, such as small sample sizes and heterogeneous methods. To address these limitations, the ENIGMA-ADHD and ENIGMA-ASD working groups were established to collaborate on large-scale neuroimaging projects. The findings so far have shown overlap and unique differences in cortical structures between ASD and ADHD. Ongoing work is exploring other research questions.

Summary: Optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are a viable alternative to superconducting sensors for magnetoencephalography (MEG), with advantages such as flexibility, uniform coverage, better data quality, and lower cost. This study introduces a novel triaxial OPM sensor that can accurately and sensitively measure magnetic fields, showing comparable performance to conventional OPMs. A child-friendly 3D-printed OPM-helmet is also proposed, demonstrating the feasibility of triaxial measurement in pediatric populations.

Summary: Left-right asymmetry of the human brain is associated with psychiatric disorders, but previous research findings have been inconsistent. The ENIGMA-Laterality Working Group conducted large-scale studies and mapped the average asymmetry in healthy brains. They also found associations between brain asymmetry and age, sex, handedness, and brain volume. Moreover, they identified subtle changes in cortical thickness asymmetry in autism spectrum disorder and altered subcortical asymmetry in pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Summary: Males exhibit greater variability than females in many traits, which may have implications for understanding sex differences in health and disease. A mega-analysis of brain structure variability based on MRI data of 16,683 healthy individuals spanning nine decades of life reveals significant patterns of greater male than female between-subject variance in subcortical volumes, cortical surface area, and cortical thickness. These sex differences are present in childhood and may be influenced by early life genetic or gene-environment interaction mechanisms. The findings underscore the importance of individual differences within each sex, which may contribute to sex-specific vulnerability to disorders.

Quantitative mapping of the brain's structural connectivity using diffusion MRI tractography: A review

Summary: This paper provides a high-level overview of how diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) tractography is used for quantitative analysis of the brain's structural connectivity. The paper focuses on two types of quantitative analyses - tract-specific analysis and connectome-based analysis. It also reviews studies that have used quantitative tractography approaches to study the brain's white matter in various fields. The paper concludes that there is no consensus on the best methodology in quantitative analysis of tractography, and caution should be exercised when interpreting results.
