Neural markers of social dominance: A female-focused perspective

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Michael Herzog, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Wei-Hsiang Lin

Social interactions are fundamental to human life, with social dominance being a key factor in these interactions. Previous studies have shown that dominant males are faster in decision-making tasks compared to non-dominant ones, even in the absence of a s ...

A Riemannian framework for incorporating white matter bundle prior in orientation distribution function based tractography algorithms

Gabriel Girard

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) tractography is a powerful approach to study brain structural connectivity. However, its reliability in a clinical context is still highly debated. Recent studies have shown that most classical algorithms achieve ...

The modulation of selective attention and divided attention on cross-modal congruence

Qiaoyue Ren

Previous studies have demonstrated that performance under selective attention and divided attention can be enhanced or impaired, depending on whether the stimuli from different modalities are the same or different. However, it remains unclear whether the m ...

Mental State Recognition Deficits Linked to Brain Changes in Parkinson's Disease Without Dementia

Francesca Saviola

Recent studies have reported social cognitive deficits, particularly in emotional processing, in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, a comprehensive characterization of these deficits and their underlying neural correlates remains elusive. Therefore, this s ...

Unraveling behavior and cortical signals to guide the development of soft neuroprostheses for auditory restoration and spreading depolarization

Emilie Cornelia Maria Revol

Neuroprostheses have been used clinically for decades, to help restore or preserve brain functions, when pharmaceutical treatments are inefficient. Although great progress in the field has been made over the years to interface with the nervous system, surf ...

White adipose tissue distribution and amount are associated with increased white matter connectivity

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez, Gabriel Girard, Philipp Johannes Koch

Obesity represents a significant public health concern and is linked to various comorbidities and cognitive impairments. Previous research indicates that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with structural changes in white matter (WM). However, a ...

Thalamic contributions to psychosis susceptibility: Evidence from co-activation patterns accounting for intra-seed spatial variability (μCAPs)

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Farnaz Delavari

The temporal variability of the thalamus in functional networks may provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To address the complexity of the role of the thalamic nuclei in psychosis, we introduced micro-co-activation patterns ( ...

Brain connectome correlates of short-term motor learning in healthy older subjects

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maeva Moyne, Chang-Hyun Park

The motor learning process entails plastic changes in the brain, especially in brain network reconfigurations. In the current study, we sought to characterize motor learning by determining changes in the coupling behaviour between the brain functional and ...

Neurobiological and metabolic basis of motivation and effort-based decision-making - A human 1H-MRS, fMRI and machine learning study

Arthur Barakat

Motivation is a multifaceted phenomenon that we explore within the framework of decision-making. Through this cognitive process, actions are directed towards specific goals by performing a trade-off between the cost and benefit of an action. The dorsomedia ...

A parcellation scheme of mouse isocortex based on reversals in connectivity gradients

Michael Reimann

The brain is composed of several anatomically clearly separated structures. This parcellation is often extended into the isocortex, based on anatomical, physiological or functional differences. Here, we derive a parcellation scheme based purely on the spat ...

Noninvasive deep brain stimulation to modulate human behavior by means of transcranial temporal interference electrical stimulation

Elena Beanato

All functions we use in our everyday life depend on a complex interplay between both cortical and subcortical brain areas, communicating in between each others. When a region is affected by either an accident, aging or neurodegenerative diseases, the whole ...
