Modenato C, Kumar K, Moreau C, Martin-Brevet S, Huguet G, Schramm C, Jean-Louis M, Martin CO, Younis N, Tamer P, Douard E, Thébault-Dagher F, Côté V, Charlebois AR, Deguire F, Maillard AM, Rodriguez-Herreros B, Pain A, Richetin S; 16p11.2 European Consortium; Simons Searchlight Consortium, Melie-Garcia L, Kushan L, Silva AI, van den Bree MBM, Linden DEJ, Owen MJ, Hall J, Lippé S, Chakravarty M, Bzdok D, Bearden CE, Draganski B*, Jacquemont S*. Effects of eight neuropsychiatric copy number variants on human brain structure. Transl Psychiatry. 2021 Jul 20;11(1):399. *equal contribution
Joint senior author of a multi-centre study on the impact of copy number variations on brain structure . Large-scale effort for understanding the unique and shared effects of different copy number variations on behaviour.

2. Gyger L, Ramponi C, Mall JF, Swierkocz-Lenart K, Stoyanov D, Lutti A, von Gunten A, Kherif F*, Draganski B*. Temporal trajectory of brain tissue property changes induced by electroconvulsive therapy. Neuroimage. 2021 Feb 19;232:117895. *shared last authorship
Joint senior author of a study in patients with major depressive disorder that introduced a novel multivariate statistical framework that allows for simultaneous analysis of multiple magnetic resonance parameters acquired longitudinally.

3. Gyger L, Regen F, Ramponi C, Marquis R, Mall JF, Swierkosz-Lenart K, von Gunten A, Toni N, Kherif F, Heuser F and Draganski B. Gradient of electro-convulsive therapy’s antidepressant effects along the longitudinal hippocampal axis, Transl Psychiatry. 2021 Mar 29;11(1):191.
We show evidence for a gradient of the effects of electro-convulsive therapy along the hippocampal longitudinal axis to resolve existing controversies in the literature.

4. Taubert M, Roggenhofer E, Melie-Garcia L, Muller S, Lehmann N, Preisig M, Vollenweider P, Marques-Vidal P, Lutti A, Kherif F, Draganski B. Converging patterns of aging-associated brain volume loss and tissue microstructure differences. Neurobiol Aging. 2020 Apr;88:108-118
We provide strong evidence for concomitant ageing-associated atrophy and tissue property changes in the human brain. There is an overlapping pattern of steeper volume decline and loss of intracortical myelin in motor areas that we link to sedentary behaviour.

5. Marchi NA, Ramponi C, Hirotsu C, Haba-Rubio J, Lutti A, Preisig M, Marques-Vidal P, Vollenweider P, Kherif F, Heinzer R, Draganski B. Mean Oxygen Saturation during Sleep Is Related to Specific Brain Atrophy Pattern. Ann Neurol. 2020 Jun;876:921-930.
Large-scale study on the impact of sleep apnea on brain structure. First of its art to study the brain topography of physiological sleep parameters using objective polysomnography-derived metrics in the community-dwelling population.

6. Slater, D. A. Melie-Garcia, L. Preisig, M. Kherif, F. Lutti, A. Draganski, B. Evolution of White Matter Tract Microstructure across the Life Span. Human Brain Mapping 2019, 40 7, 2252–2268.
Using novel magnetic resonance imaging parameters sensitive to brain microstructure, we show the tract-specific evolution of myelin, iron and g-ratio with increasing age.

7. Accolla EA, Herrojo Ruiz M, Horn A, Schneider G, Schmitz-Hübsch T, Draganski B*, Kühn AA*. Brain networks modulated by subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. Brain 2016;139(9):2503-2515. *shared last authorship
First study to demonstrate shared tissue properties across limbic and motor cortico-subcortical circuits.

8. Lorio S, Kherif F, Ruef A, Melie-Garcia L, Frackowiak R, Ashburner J, Helms G, Lutti A*, Draganski B*. Neurobiological origin of spurious brain morphological changes: A quantitative MRI study. Hum Brain Mapp. 2016;37(5):1801-1815 *shared last authorship
Here, we challenge long standing assumptions of computational anatomy studies in the area of ageing to show that part of the established atrophy patterns are related to tissue property changes rather than volume loss.

9. Dukart J, Regen F, Kherif F, Colla M, Bajbouj M, Heuser I, Frackowiak RS, Draganski B. Electroconvulsive therapy-induced brain plasticity determines therapeutic outcome in mood disorders. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Jan 21;111(3):1156-61
First longitudinal study to demonstrate the causal relationship between electro-convulsive therapy and brain structure changes in hippocampal limbic networks.

10. Draganski B, Gaser C, Busch V, Schuierer G, Bogdahn U, May A. Neuroplasticity: changes in grey matter induced by training. Nature 2004; 427: 311-2. First study to bring empirical evidence for training-induced structural brain plasticity.
