A common preprocessing step in fMRI analysis is spatial smoothing, which helps in detecting cluster-like active regions. The use of a heuristically selected Gaussian filter for spatial smoothing is frequently preferred due to its simplicity and computational efficiency. Neurons in the cerebral cortex are located within a thin sheet of gray matter at the surface of the brain, and the human brain's gyrification results in a complex gray matter anatomy. For task-based fMRI activation analysis, isotropic Gaussian smoothing can reduce spatial specificity, introducing spatial blurring artifacts where inactive voxels near active regions are mistakenly identified as active. This blurring is beneficial for group-level analysis as it helps mitigate anatomical variability across subjects and inaccuracies in spatial normalization. However, it poses challenges in subject-level analysis, particularly in clinical applications such as presurgical planning and fMRI fingerprinting, which demand high spatial specificity. Previous studies have proposed several adaptive spatial smoothing techniques to address these issues. In this study, we introduce a versatile deep neural network (DNN) that builds on the strengths of previous approaches while overcoming their limitations. This method can incorporate additional neighboring voxels for estimating optimal spatial smoothing without significantly increasing computational costs, making it suitable for ultrahigh-resolution (sub-millimeter) task fMRI data.

No significant association between age and the type of the posterior horns was found. However, there was a significant difference in the width and length of the horns between the open and other types, with open horns being wider and longer. Lastly, the left horn appeared longer than the right one.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>The findings underline the high variability in posterior horn morphology, which is not significantly influenced by age or sex but varies between individuals and sides. Future studies should explore the functional impact of these anatomical variations.</p>","PeriodicalId":73094,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in neuroimaging","volume":"4 ","pages":"1478137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12009867/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144061297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
