The self-liking brain: a VBM study on the structural substrate of self-esteem. by Dmitrij Agroskin, Johannes Klackl, Eva Jonas

“…It was thus hypothesized that the relative grey matter volume of brain regions involved in responding to and coping with stress is related to individual differences in trait self-esteem. Using structural magnetic resonance imaging of 48 healthy adults in conjunction with voxel-based morphometry and diffeomorphic anatomical registration using exponentiated lie algebra (VBM-DARTEL), positive associations between self-esteem and regional grey matter volume were indeed found in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), right lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC), right hippocampus, and left hypothalamus. …”

Automated Soma Detection in Whole-Brain Imaging via Post-Tracing Multi-Furcation Morphometry by Gu Xiaoqin

“…Accurate single-neuron morphology reconstruction is essential for understanding brain structure and function. A critical step in this process is the detection of somas in 3D brain images, which remains a challenge due to the complex structure of the brain and the large amount of whole brain imaging data [1]. …”
