Who is citing CIEL?

 I will occasionally feature recent citations to the papers published in the past by the CIEL team. Today's posting surveys the papers that cite Dr. Yoo's habenula paper (Scientific Reports, Nov 9th,. 2020). As of today, Google Scholar lists 5 entries that cited this work, all from outside CIEL. One is a preprint that is under review in Scientific Reports, and the others are peer-reviewed journal publications. Interestingly, one of them is an Editorial in J. Neuroradiology, an official journal of the French Society of Neuroradiology (SFNR). Overall, the citations were made with significant and specific contexts. Barely two years after the publication, this work seems to receive substantial recognition from the scientific community. Full lists and links can be found in Google Scholar.

1. Wang 2022, Quant Imaging Med Surg “Alterations in brain iron deposition with progression of late-life depression measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based quantitative susceptibility mapping”: This is a human QSM study where the habenula was included in the study design. Yoo et al., appears as ref. 88 (out of 89), in the discussion section, where tissue heterogeneity is mentioned as a source of limitation in their study.

2. Sarkar 2023, Spectroscopy Letters (not free) “Soft X-ray and susceptibility based magnetic resonance imaging to map iron distribution in apples: initial results to model iron storage in water-deficient or dehydrated biological tissue”: 

In this article, Yoo et al., is the 6th out of 35 references. Full text is behind a paywall, but judging from the reference list available from “researchgate.net”, it may have been cited as an example of how susceptibility biomarkers are used in MRI research.

3. Chen 2022, Front Neurosci “Chronic social defeat stress caused region-specific oligodendrogenesis impairment in adolescent mice”: Here Yoo et al., is cited prominently at the beginning of a paragraph in the discussion section introducing the anatomy and function of the habenula.

4. Milotta 2022 (under review in Scientific Reports) “In vivo multi-parameter mapping of the habenula using MRI”: Yoo et al. is #20 out of 43 references. In addition, the CIEL team’s 2017 ISMRM abstract on habenula QSM (with Dr. Anup Bidesi!) is also cited, as #21. The context of citation is limited prior research on habenula QSM. Yoo et al. was cited at least twice, and the second citation accompanied detailed mention of its research outcome (need for high resolution, and Hb susceptibility gradient).

5. Pyatigorskaya 2021, J Neuroradiol. (Editorial) “QSM as a new powerful tool for clinical practice in neuroimaging”: This is the first to cite Yoo et al., and it did so in an Editorial. Interestingly, it also cited Bulumulla et al (2012, CMR-B), where I was the second author. Yoo et al., is #11 out of 29. The citation was used to highlight how QSM allows better habenula visualization in MRI, and thus can help DBS.
