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 ...
Reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, specific food groups, and dietary patterns in 211 050 adults in the UK Biobank study
(2019-09)
To detect modest associations of dietary intake with disease risk, observational studies need to be large and control for moderate measurement errors. The
reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, food groups ...
Dynamic sustained attention markers differentiate atypical development: The case of Williams syndrome and Down's syndrome
(2019-07)
Impaired sustained attention is considered an important factor
in determining poor functional outcomes across multiple
cognitive and behavioural disorders. Sustained attention is
compromised for both children with ...
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 ...
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 ...
Reductions to main meal portion sizes reduce daily energy intake regardless of perceived normality of portion size: a 5 day cross-over laboratory experiment
(2020-02)
Background
Smaller portions may help to reduce energy intake. However, there may be a limit to the magnitude of the portion size reduction that can be made before consumers respond by increasing intake of other food ...
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 ...
