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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A critical evaluation of systematic reviews assessing the effect of chronic physical activity on academic achievement, cognition and the brain in children and adolescents: a systematic review
(2020-06)
Background
International and national committees have started to evaluate the evidence for the effects of physical activity on neurocognitive health in childhood and adolescence to inform policy. Despite an increasing ...
Evaluating the Feasibility of Frequent Cognitive Assessment Using the Mezurio Smartphone App: Observational and Interview Study in Adults With Elevated Dementia Risk
(2020-04)
Background: By enabling frequent, sensitive, and economic remote assessment, smartphones will facilitate the detection of early cognitive decline at scale. Previous studies have sustained participant engagement with remote ...
Sleep duration over 28 years, cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure: a prospective cohort study
(2020-01)
Study Objectives
To examine the association between sleep duration trajectories over 28 years and measures of cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure. We hypothesize that consistently meeting sleep ...
Subthalamic nucleus activity dynamics and limb movement prediction in Parkinson’s disease
(2020-02)
Whilst exaggerated bursts of beta frequency band oscillatory synchronization in the subthalamic nucleus have been associated with motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease, a plausible mechanism linking the two phenomena has ...
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 ...
Examination of the neural basis of psychotic-like experiences in adolescence during processing of emotional faces
(2020-03)
Contemporary theories propose that dysregulation of emotional perception is involved in the aetiology of psychosis. 298 healthy adolescents were assessed at age 14- and 19-years using fMRI while performing a facial emotion ...
Methotrexate and relative risk of dementia amongst patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a multi-national multi-database case-control study
(2020-04)
Background
Inflammatory processes have been shown to play a role in dementia. To understand this role, we selected two anti-inflammatory drugs (methotrexate and sulfasalazine) to study their association with dementia ...
