Salivary Testosterone Levels and Pain Perception Exhibit Sex-Specific Association in Healthy Adults but Not in Patients with Migraine

The Level of Salivary Testosterone and Pain Perception Show Sex-Specific Associations in Healthy Adults, But Not in Migraine Patients Introduction Understanding the complexity of pain and the role gender plays in pain perception is of significant importance in medical research. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with ...

Investigation of the Impact of Cross-Frequency Coupling on the Assessment of Depression Severity through the Analysis of Resting State EEG Signals

Background Depression, particularly Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is a widespread and debilitating psychological disease often described as the “common cold” of mental health. Many people with MDD experience symptoms such as persistent sadness, hopelessness, cognitive impairment, and loss of motivation for daily activities, severely affecting pe...

Magnetoencephalography-Derived Oscillatory Microstate Patterns Across Lifespan: The Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience Cohort

Application of Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to Analyze Changes in Whole-Brain Oscillatory Microstate Patterns Across the Lifespan: Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience Cohort Study Research Background With the increasing seriousness of the aging population problem, understanding the neurophysiological changes during the aging process becomes...

Neural Representations of Perspectival Shapes and Attentional Effects: Evidence from fMRI and MEG

Neural Representation of Perspective Shapes and the Effect of Attention: Evidence from fMRI and MEG Introduction We always perceive objects from a specific perspective. In many cases, the shape we rely on when observing an object, the perspective shape, differs from its objective shape, the physical shape in the real world. For instance, a coin rot...
