Title:
"High-resolution diffusion-MRI-based tractography of U-fibers using a conventional 3 Tesla scanner"
Summary: In this talk, I will demonstrate that short axonal bundles can be imaged reliably using a 3 Tesla Prisma scanner with a conventional gradient system. I will also demonstrate improvements to the 'TractoFlow' pipelines to support high-resolution dMRI.

Title:
"On night owls and early birds: insights from multimodal population studies"
Summary: Chronotype is shaped by a complex interplay of endogenous and exogenous factors,  varies across lifespan, and is linked to health risks. Moving beyond uniform classifications, we identified five distinct chronotype subtypes using multimodal brain imaging and deep phenotyping in 27,030 UK biobank adults. Each subtype showed unique brain-behavior-health patterns, validated in 10,550 US children with reversed age effects. These findings reveal previously overlooked population variation in biological clocks, with implications spanning from childhood to adulthood.
