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 ...
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 ...
The importance of different frailty domains in a population based sample in England
(2020-01)
Background
The aim was to estimate the prevalence of frailty and relative contribution of physical/balance, nutritive, cognitive and sensory frailty to important adverse health states (falls, physical activity levels, ...
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 ...
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) ...
