- Prospective multi-centre Voxel Based Morphometry study employing scanner specific segmentations: procedure development using CaliBrain structural MRI dataT William J Moorhead
The Division of Psychiatry, Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, School of Molecular and Clinical Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK
BMC Med Imaging 9:8. 2009..The CaliBrain project was designed to provide for an assessment of scanner differences at three centres in Scotland, and to assess the practicality of pooling scans from multiple-centres...
- A voxel-based investigation of brain structure in male adolescents with autistic spectrum disorderGordon D Waiter
Department of Radiology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK
Neuroimage 22:619-25. 2004..The picture as a whole may reflect an abnormally functioning social cognitive neural network. We suggest that increased grey matter volume may play a pivotal role in the aetiology of the autistic syndrome...
- Structural white matter deficits in high-functioning individuals with autistic spectrum disorder: a voxel-based investigationGordon D Waiter
Department of Radiology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK
Neuroimage 24:455-61. 2005..No significant areas of increased white matter volume were found. Our findings support the hypothesis that reduced white matter volume in the corpus callosum and right hemisphere may play a role in the pathophysiology of ASD...
- Inter-individual differences in fMRI entropy measurements in old ageMoses O Sokunbi
Aberdeen Biomedical Imaging Centre, SINAPSE Collaboration, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng 58:3206-14. 2011..This finding was independent of ability in childhood but not independent of current cognitive ability. ApEn is used for the first time to identify a potential source of individual differences in cognitive ability using fMRI data...
- Mine and me: exploring the neural basis of object ownershipDavid J Turk
University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK
J Cogn Neurosci 23:3657-68. 2011..These results indicate that a self-memory advantage can be elicited by object ownership and that this effect is underpinned by activity in a neural network that supports attentional, reward, and motor processing...
- Brain structural complexity and life course cognitive changeNazahah Mustafa
Aberdeen Biomedical Imaging Centre, Lilian Sutton Building, University of Aberdeen, Foresterhill, AB25 2ZD Aberdeen, Scotland, UK

- An fMRI study of joint attention experienceJustin H G Williams
Department of Child Health, University of Aberdeen School of Medicine, Foresterhill, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
Neuroimage 25:133-40. 2005..The developmental failure of this substrate in the left anterior frontal lobe may be important in the etiology of autistic spectrum disorder...
- Stereotype-based modulation of person perceptionSusanne Quadflieg
School of Psychology, University of Aberdeen, AB24 3FX, Scotland, UK
Neuroimage 57:549-57. 2011..Comparable effects did not emerge during a non-social judgment task. These findings begin to elucidate how and when stereotypic beliefs modulate the formation of person percepts in the brain...
- Cortical and subcortical mechanisms at the core of imitationJustin H G Williams
University of Aberdeen, UK
Soc Neurosci 2:66-78. 2007..Together they offer a potentially powerful means through which matching one's actions to those of others can lead to behavioral modification and development...
- Nonlinear complexity analysis of brain FMRI signals in schizophreniaMoses O Sokunbi

- Neural mechanisms of imitation and 'mirror neuron' functioning in autistic spectrum disorderJustin H G Williams
Department of Child Health, University of Aberdeen Medical School, Royal Aberdeen Children s Hospital, Aberdeen AB25 2ZG, UK
Neuropsychologia 44:610-21. 2006..Such poor integration is likely to adversely affect the development of ToM through imitation as well as other aspects of social cognitive function in ASD...
- Do mirror neuron areas mediate mu rhythm suppression during imitation and action observation?Lieke Braadbaart
School of Psychology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK
Int J Psychophysiol 89:99-105. 2013..This suggests that mu suppression involves a range of structures that modulate motor preparation activities and are sensitive to visual input, including but not restricted to the human analogue of the mirror neuron system. ..
- Is retaining the youthful functional anatomy underlying speed of information processing a signature of successful cognitive ageing? An event-related fMRI study of inspection time performanceGordon D Waiter
Department of Radiology, College of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Aberdeen, UK
Neuroimage 41:581-95. 2008..The relative preservation of complex reasoning skills in old age may be associated with the preservation of the neural networks that underpin fundamental information processing in youth...
- Differential effects of tryptophan depletion on emotion processing according to face directionJustin H G Williams
Department of Child Health, University of Aberdeen Medical School, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 2:264-73. 2007..These changes could be adaptive in a threatening context and markedly affect empathic function in conditions associated with impaired serotonin function, such as depression and autism...
- Exploring the neural correlates of social stereotypingSusanne Quadflieg
School of Psychology, University of Aberdeen, King College, Scottland, UK
J Cogn Neurosci 21:1560-70. 2009..These findings elucidate how stereotyping fits within the neuroscience of person understanding...
