Hierarchical modelling of functional brain networks in population and individuals from big fMRI data
(2021-02)A major goal of large-scale brain imaging datasets is to provide resources for investigating heterogeneous populations. Characterisation of functional brain networks for individual subjects from these datasets will have an ... -
Replay bursts in humans coincide with activation of the default mode and parietal alpha networks
(2020-12)Replay in humans coincides with activity in specific resting brain networks Clusters of heightened default mode and alpha activity are linked to replay bursts These networks are characterized by highly synchronized ... -
Functional biases in attentional templates from associative memory
(2020-12)In everyday life, attentional templates—which facilitate the perception of task-relevant sensory inputs—are often based on associations in long-term memory. We ask whether templates retrieved from memory are necessarily ... -
Challenges and future directions for representations of functional brain organization
(2020-10)A key principle of brain organization is the functional integration of brain regions into interconnected networks. Functional MRI scans acquired at rest offer insights into functional integration via patterns of coherent ... -
Right Lateralized Brain Reserve Offsets Age-Related Deficits in Ignoring Distraction
(2020-09)Age-related deterioration of attention decreases the ability to stay focused on the task at hand due to less efficient selection of relevant information and increased distractibility in the face of irrelevant, but salient ... -
Temporal Expectations Prepare Visual Working Memory for Behavior
(2020-09)Working memory enables us to retain past sensations in service of anticipated task demands. How we prepare for anticipated task demands during working memory retention remains poorly understood. Here, we focused on the ... -
Dissecting Transient Burst Events
(2020-10)Increasing efforts are being made to understand the role of intermittent, transient, high-power burst events of neural activity. These events have a temporal, spectral, and spatial domain. Here, we argue that considering ... -
Associations Between Longitudinal Trajectories of Cognitive and Social Activities and Brain Health in Old Age
(2020-08)Importance Prior neuroimaging studies have found that late-life participation in cognitive (eg, reading) and social (eg, visiting friends and family) leisure activities are associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ... -
Prediction of brain age and cognitive age: quantifying brain and cognitive maintenance in aging
(2020-06)The concept of brain maintenance refers to the preservation of brain integrity in older age, whilecognitive reserverefers to the capacity to maintain cognition in the presence of neurodegeneration or aging-related brain ... -
Transient spectral events in resting state MEG predict individual task responses
(2020-07)Even in response to simple tasks such as hand movement, human brain activity shows remarkable inter-subject variability. Recently, it has been shown that individual spatial variability in fMRI task responses can be ... -
Cross-species cortical alignment identifies different types of anatomical reorganization in the primate temporal lobe
(2020-03)Evolutionary adaptations of temporo-parietal cortex are considered to be a critical specialization of the human brain. Cortical adaptations, however, can affect different aspects of brain architecture, including local ... -
One thing leads to another: anticipating visual object identity based on associative-memory template
(2020-04)Probabilistic associations between stimuli afford memory templates that guide perception through pro-active anticipatory mechanisms. A great deal of work has examined the behavioural consequences and human electrophysiological ... -
Synchronisation of Neural Oscillations and Cross-modal Influences
(2020-04)At any given moment, we receive multiple signals from our different senses. Prior research has shown that signals in one sensory modality can influence neural activity and behavioural performance associated with another ... -
Multimodal brain-age prediction and cardiovascular risk: The Whitehall II MRI sub-study
(2020-01)Brain age is becoming a widely applied imaging-based biomarker of neural aging and potential proxy for brain integrity and health. We estimated multimodal and modality-specific brain age in the Whitehall II MRI cohort using ... -
Associations between modifiable risk factors and white matter of the aging brain: insights from diffusion tensor imaging studies
(2019-08)There is increasing interest in factors that may modulate white matter (WM) breakdown and, consequentially, age-related cognitive and behavioral deficits. Recent diffusion tensor imaging studies have examined the relationship ... -
Allostatic load as a predictor of grey matter volume and white matter integrity in old age: The Whitehall II MRI study
(2018-04-23)The allostatic load index quantifies the cumulative multisystem physiological response to chronic everyday stress, and includes cardiovascular, metabolic and inflammatory measures. Despite its central role in the stress ...
