The paper uses an agent-based model to simulate neurodegenerative disease spread, showing how local vulnerability and network connectivity drive Parkinson's disease progression.

This study shows ghrelin increases reward prediction error activity and functional connectivity during food odor conditioning in humans, enhancing cue incentive salience and potentially contributing to obesity risk.

The paper shows that cortical thinning in early Parkinson’s Disease correlates with connectivity to subcortical disease reservoirs, suggesting disease spread along neural networks.

The paper examines brain activity and hormone levels during calorie restriction, finding that prefrontal cortex activation correlates with weight loss, while hormonal changes do not significantly counteract it.

The paper uses diffusion and functional MRI data to identify a tripartite parcellation of the human substantia nigra based on connectivity and functional coding of value and salience, linking these to impulsivity traits.
