79 Planelles, VicenteAn HIV-encoded antisense long non-coding RNA epigenetically regulates viral transcriptionThe abundance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their wide range of functional roles in human cells are fast becoming realized. Importantly, lncRNAs have been identified as epigenetic modulators and consequently play a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression. A human immunodeficiency v...2014-01-01

84 Gerig, GuidoStatistical shape analysis of brain structures using spherical waveletsWe present a novel method of statistical surface-based morphometry based on the use of non-parametric permutation tests and a spherical wavelet (SWC) shape representation. As an application, we analyze two brain structures, the caudate nucleus and the hippocampus, and compare the results obtained to...2007-01-01
85 Gerig, GuidoSubcortical structure segmentation using probabilistic atlas priorsThe segmentation of the subcortical structures of the brain is required for many forms of quantitative neuroanatomic analysis. The volumetric and shape parameters of structures such as caudate are employed to characterize a disease or its evolution. This paper presents our fully automatic segmentati...2007-01-01
86 Gerig, GuidoSynergy of image analysis for animal and human neuroimaging supports translational research on drug abuseThe use of structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in animal models of neurophysiology is of increasing interest to the neuroscience community.
