Luke Bloy

About

Luke Bloy, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. He is also a Principal Scientist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Department of Radiology. His educational background includes a BS in Physics/Mathematics from Temple University and a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Bloy's research focuses on advanced imaging research, with a particular emphasis on neuroimaging techniques and their applications in pediatric neurological conditions. His work involves developing and applying innovative MRI and neuroimaging methods to better understand brain development and neurological disorders in children. He has contributed to studies on pediatric central nervous system tumors, neuroimaging in psychiatric disorders, electrophysiological activity imaging, and neurochemical measurements in autism, among others. Dr. Bloy’s research aims to enhance diagnostic capabilities and deepen understanding of neurodevelopmental and neurological diseases through cutting-edge imaging technologies.

• A Multimodal Study of the Contributions of Conduction Velocity to the Auditory Evoked Neuromagnetic Response: Anomalies in Autism Spectrum Disorder

  Autism Research · 2020-09-14 · 37 citations

  article

  This multimodal imaging study used magnetoencephalography, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to identify and contrast the multiple physiological mechanisms associated with auditory processing efficiency in typically developing (TD) children and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Efficient transmission of auditory input between the ear and auditory cortex is necessary for rapid encoding of auditory senso…

• Testicular function in boys with 47,<scp>XYY</scp> and relationship to phenotype

  American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C Seminars in Medical Genetics · 2020-06-01 · 18 citations

  articleOpen access

  An additional Y chromosome occurs in ~1 in 1,000 males, resulting in the karyotype 47,XYY. The phenotype includes tall stature, hypotonia, neuropsychiatric comorbidities, and an increased risk of infertility in adulthood. Little is known about testicular function in childhood and adolescence in 47,XYY. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess testicular function serum biomarkers, including total testosterone, inhibin B, and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), in 82 boys with XYY (11.3 ± 3.8 years) c…

• Maturation of auditory cortex neural responses during infancy and toddlerhood

  NeuroImage · 2023-05-11 · 17 citations

  articleOpen access

  The infant auditory system rapidly matures across the first years of life, with a primary goal of obtaining ever-more-accurate real-time representations of the external world. Our understanding of how left and right auditory cortex neural processes develop during infancy, however, is meager, with few studies having the statistical power to detect potential hemisphere and sex differences in primary/secondary auditory cortex maturation. Using infant magnetoencephalography (MEG) and a cross-section…
