in nuclei volume are accompanied by differences in neuron number: the lateral nucleus contains the greatest number of neurons in the human amygdala, containing 59% more neurons than expected for an ape brain of human size, while the basal nucleus contains the greatest number of neurons in the ...
Human emotions fluctuate over time. However, it is unclear how these shifting emotional states influence the organization of episodic memory. Here, we examine how emotion dynamics transform experiences into memorable events. Using custom musical pieces a
We first assessed the influence of different trial variables in each region using linear regression to predict spiking activity of each neuron, at each timepoint across the trial, as a function of the choice, outcome and outcome × choice interaction on that trial (Fig. 4a). As the task was...
. Studies implementing graph theoretical analyses suggest a close correspondence in the architectures of resting-state and task-related functional connectivity. Functional connectivity during tasks appears to reflect the influence of a limited number of modules, identifiable from a resting state, which are...

Nowadays, with advances in neuroscience and experimental psychology methods, the language aptitude construct overall still describes a set of skills operatingacrossthe hierarchy of all language components, from lower to higher levels of complexity. What has changed is the way we conceptualise language it...
The human brain is divided into several regions that are allocated for a specific cognitive function. Learn about the brain and its structure, and understand the different functions of the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain. The Brain Katie is taking a class in neuroscience, but she's really ...
The first part of the questionnaire collected general information (such as age and schooling level), and whether the individual had received a formal diagnosis of dyscalculia or neurological disorders. The second part of the questionnaire explored the impact of the claimed math difficulties on the ...
Genetic risks for schizophrenia are theoretically mediated by genetic effects on brain structure but it has been unclear which genes are associated with both schizophrenia and cortical phenotypes. We accessed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of sch
