Spatiotemporal Responses to Emotional Conflict and Its Psychiatric Correlates in Adolescents with Epilepsy Using Magnetoencephalography

Spatiotemporal Responses to Emotional Conflict and Its Psychiatric Correlates in Adolescents with Epilepsy Using Magnetoencephalography

Spatio-Temporal Responses of Emotional Conflict and Psychiatric Correlation in Adolescent Epilepsy Patients Research Background Epilepsy patients often experience comorbid mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, which negatively impact their quality of life. Emotional regulation is a critical cognitive process that is frequently impaired i...

Heuristics in Risky Decision-Making Relate to Preferential Representation of Information

Paper Title: heuristics in risky decision-making relate to preferential representation of information Research Background When making choices, individuals not only differ from each other but also deviate from normative theoretical recommendations. One explanation for this difference is that individuals have unique information representation prefere...

Negation Mitigates Rather Than Inverts the Neural Representations of Adjectives

Background Introduction A notable characteristic of human language processing is our ability to combine stored lexical elements, i.e., words, as needed to flexibly generate or alter current meanings. At the core of this process is how we construct semantic representations in real time. Although research on the generation of syntactic structures has...

Phase-dependent word perception emerges from region-specific sensitivity to the statistics of language

Phase-dependent word perception emerges from region-specific sensitivity to the statistics of language

Phase-Dependent Language Perception in Neural Oscillations: An Interdisciplinary Study Report Background During speech perception, the phase of neural oscillations plays a crucial role in the separation of neural representations and perceptual decisions. However, the specific phase-encoding mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to reveal how p...

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...

Reactivation strength during cued recall is modulated by graph distance within cognitive maps

Reactivation Strength in Memory is Modulated by Graph Distance in Cognitive Maps Research Background Memory formation and retrieval are among the crucial areas of research in neuroscience. Classic memory theories propose that memory depends on three distinct stages: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. New episodic memories are formed through en...

Speech Prosody Serves Temporal Prediction of Language via Contextual Entrainment

Time prediction plays an important role in language comprehension, making language processing faster and more efficient. Especially in complex auditory and language processing, predicting the information of the upcoming utterance can improve comprehension efficiency and reduce cognitive load. Existing research has shown that listeners can utilize t...

Risk Factors for Domain-Specific Neurocognitive Outcome in Pediatric Survivors of a Brain Tumor in the Posterior Fossa – Results of the HIT 2000 Trial

Analysis of Risk Factors Related to Specific Domain Neurocognitive Outcomes in Pediatric Survivors of Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors – HIT 2000 Trial Results Research Background Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in childhood, particularly central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Studies have shown that patients who receive craniospinal irradi...

GCTNet: A Graph Convolutional Transformer Network for Major Depressive Disorder Detection Based on EEG Signals

GCTNet: Graph Convolution Transformer Network for Detecting Major Depressive Disorder Based on EEG Signals Research Background Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent mental illness characterized by significant and persistent low mood, affecting over 350 million people worldwide. MDD is one of the leading causes of suicide, resulting in appr...

The Effect of TDCS on Inhibitory Control and its Transfer Effect on Sustained Attention in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An fNIRS Study

The Effect of TDCS on Inhibitory Control and Its Transfer Effect on Sustained Attention in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An fNIRS Study Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication impairments, narrow interests, and repetitive behaviors. Many studies have found th...
