A Neurocinematic Study of the Suspense Effects in Hitchcock's Psycho

As a new and rapidly emerging cross-disciplinary research field, neurocinematics focuses on movie research from an empirical perspective, adopting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and other cognitive neuroscience technologies a...

Six facial prosodic expressions caregivers similarly display to infants and dogs

Abstract Parents tend to use a specific communication style, including specific facial expressions, when speaking to their preverbal infants which has important implications for children’s healthy development. In the present study, we inves...

Edge-centric connectome-genetic markers of bridging factor to comorbidity between depression and anxiety

Abstract Depression-anxiety comorbidity is commonly attributed to the occurrence of specific symptoms bridging the two disorders. However, the significant heterogeneity of most bridging symptoms presents challenges for psychopathological in...

Investigating the role of human frontal eye field in the pupil light reflex modulation by saccade planning and working memory

The pupil constricts in response to an increase in global luminance level, commonly referred to as the pupil light reflex. Recent research has shown that these reflex responses are modulated by high-level cognition. There is larger pupil co...

Depressive phenotype shapes behavioral, neuroendocrine and molecular responses to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in preclinical models of depression

IntroductionRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established non-invasive treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), yet its neurobiological mechanisms remain only partially understood. We investigated whether ...

Modulation of frontal gamma oscillations improves working memory in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder that is associated with cognitive deficits. Impairments in cognition occur early in the course of illness and are associated with poor functional outcome, but have been difficult to treat with...

The Effect of APOE ɛ4 on the Functional Connectivity in Frontoparietal Network in Hypertensive Patients

Allele 4 of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE ε4) and hypertension are considered risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The detection of differences in cognitive function and brain networks between hypertensive patients who are APOE ε4 c...

Neuroscience and education

Neuroscience is a relatively new discipline encompassing neurology, psychology and biology. It has made great strides in the last 100 years, during which many aspects of the physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and structure of the verteb...

The Cognitive Neurosciences

The Cognitive Neurosciences

The sixth edition of the foundational reference on cognitive neuroscience, with entirely new material that covers the latest research, experimental approaches, and measurement methodologies. Each edition of this classic reference has proved...

Early childhood household instability, adolescent structural neural network architecture, and young adulthood depression: A 21-year longitudinal study

Unstable and unpredictable environments are linked to risk for psychopathology, but the underlying neural mechanisms that explain how instability relate to subsequent mental health concerns remain unclear. In particular, few studies have fo...

The Cognitive neurosciences

Each edition of this classic reference has proved to be a benchmark in the developing field of cognitive neuroscience. The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpin...

A generic self-learning emotional framework for machines

Abstract In nature, intelligent living beings have developed emotions to modulate their behavior as a fundamental evolutionary advantage. However, researchers seeking to endow machines with this advantage lack a clear theory from cognitive ...

Interpreting and improving natural-language processing (in machines) with natural language-processing (in the brain)

Neural networks models for NLP are typically implemented without the explicit encoding of language rules and yet they are able to break one performance record after another. This has generated a lot of research interest in interpreting the ...

Mapping the developmental course of the multispectral dynamics serving executive functioning.

Default mode network connectivity and temperament are associated with internalizing symptoms in early childhood.

The Handbook of brain theory and neural networks

A new, dramatically updated edition of the classic resource on the constantly evolving fields of brain theory and neural networks. Dramatically updating and extending the first edition, published in 1995, the second edition of The Handbook ...
