As is known from psychometrics, restriction of task processing time by the instruction to respond as quickly and accurately as possible leads to task-unspecific cognitive processing. Since this task processing mode is used in most functional neuroimaging studies of human cognition, this may evoke co...
Cortical thinning is an important hallmark of the maturation of brain morphology during childhood and adolescence. However, the connectome-based wiring mechanism that underlies cortical maturation remains unclear. Here, we show cortical thinning patterns
The synergistic interactions between neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity induced by BDNF make it an ideal and essential regulator of cellular processes that underlie cognition and other complex 1Institut des Neurosciences Cellulaires et Intégratives (INCI), UPR-3212 Centre National de la Recherche...
Objects varied independently in their affective valence and in their degree of association with other objects (associativity). Analyses revealed an overlapping sensitivity whereby the left mOFC responded both to increasingly positive affective value and to stronger associativity. These two properties individu...
shown gradually-emerging images of faces or cars in visual scenes, while neural activity was recorded using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Category search was manipulated by the instruction to indicate the presence of either a face or a car, in different blocks, as soon as an ...
This time interval was pre-selected based on previous studies4,5 where the mentally rotated gratings could be decoded starting from 8 seconds following the rotation instruction (also see Methods for further clarification). Previous fMRI studies14,20, however, utilized different time intervals and ...
The sequence (TR = 2000 ms; TE = 30 ms; FA = 90°; FOV = 192 mm; matrix = 64 x64; slice thickness = 5 mm, 33 axial slices, no gap and 248 volumes). All the participants received the same instruction. For the rfMRI scans, participants were instructed to close their eyes and ...
whether it improves the efficiency with which memory-based strategies are applied11,15,16, and how these changes are related to learning-related reorganization of the functional brain networks in children. Our cognitive training program, adapted from MathWise17,18, combined conceptual instruction with...
These inconsistencies might arise from the specificity or complexity of the tool used (e.g., greater fine motor control in using chopsticks compared to peg hammering) and/or the type of instruction (e.g., verbal or visual cues, etc.). Generally, the majority of findings from fMRI studies ...
by Janacsek et al. [1], a theoretical framework, known as the MaMa dynamic network model of brain and cognition, was proposed to further investigate the interplay between subcortical and cortical brain regions. What is particularly noteworthy about this review is that the caudate, putamen, and...
