23. June 2025: New Neuroimage Publication with ENIGMA Stroke Recovery:Comparison of post-stroke white matter assessment using disconnectome-symptom mapping versus quantitative diffusion MRI; First author: Martin Domin, senior author: Martin Lotze

Correlation of white matter quantification for upper limb moderately affected stroke survivors with Fugl-Meyer-upper extremity score. Examples for white matter quantification of the ipsilesional superior lateral fasciculus (SLF).
FA-quantification shows reasonable associations (left plot) whereas percentual disconnection mapping (right plot) produces pseudo-correlations caused by zero-overlaps between masks used.
Again, an additional reason for looking on your data before publishing.
