[HTML][HTML] Raincloud plots: a multi-platform tool for robust data visualization

M Allen, D Poggiali, K Whitaker, TR Marshall… - Wellcome open …, 2019 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Across scientific disciplines, there is a rapidly growing recognition of the need for more
statistically robust, transparent approaches to data visualization. Complementary to this, many …

Adolescence is associated with genomically patterned consolidation of the hubs of the human brain connectome

KJ Whitaker, PE Vértes… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
How does human brain structure mature during adolescence? We used MRI to measure
cortical thickness and intracortical myelination in 297 population volunteers aged 14–24 y old. …

[PDF][PDF] Morphometric similarity networks detect microscale cortical organization and predict inter-individual cognitive variation

…, F Váša, M Shinn, R Romero-Garcia, KJ Whitaker… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Macroscopic cortical networks are important for cognitive function, but it remains challenging
to construct anatomically plausible individual structural connectomes from human …

Measuring the predictability of life outcomes with a scientific mass collaboration

…, F Wang, S Weissman, K Whitaker… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
How predictable are life trajectories? We investigated this question with a scientific mass
collaboration using the common task method; 160 teams built predictive models for six life …

[HTML][HTML] The citation advantage of linking publications to research data

G Colavizza, I Hrynaszkiewicz, I Staden, K Whitaker… - PloS one, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Efforts to make research results open and reproducible are increasingly reflected by journal
policies encouraging or mandating authors to provide data availability statements. As a …

Cortical patterning of abnormal morphometric similarity in psychosis is associated with brain expression of schizophrenia-related genes

SE Morgan, J Seidlitz, KJ Whitaker… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Schizophrenia has been conceived as a disorder of brain connectivity, but it is unclear how
this network phenotype is related to the underlying genetics. We used morphometric …

Adolescent tuning of association cortex in human structural brain networks

…, J Seidlitz, R Romero-Garcia, KJ Whitaker… - Cerebral …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Motivated by prior data on local cortical shrinkage and intracortical myelination, we predicted
age-related changes in topological organization of cortical structural networks during …

Gene transcription profiles associated with inter-modular hubs and connection distance in human functional magnetic resonance imaging networks

PE Vértes, T Rittman, KJ Whitaker… - … of the Royal …, 2016 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain networks have a complex
topology comprising integrative components, eg long-distance inter-modular edges, that are …

[HTML][HTML] Structural covariance networks are coupled to expression of genes enriched in supragranular layers of the human cortex

R Romero-Garcia, KJ Whitaker, F Váša, J Seidlitz… - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
Complex network topology is characteristic of many biological systems, including anatomical
and functional brain networks (connectomes). Here, we first constructed a structural …

[HTML][HTML] Open and reproducible neuroimaging: from study inception to publication

…, T Schmitt, W Sójka, AS Wagner, KJ Whitaker… - NeuroImage, 2022 - Elsevier
Empirical observations of how labs conduct research indicate that the adoption rate of open
practices for transparent, reproducible, and collaborative science remains in its infancy. This …
