The paper examines how polygenic indices for educational attainment change across birth cohorts and regions in Germany, finding stronger associations in recent cohorts and the East but weaker effects for women.

This study examines how urban and natural features in environments affect subjective experience and neural responses using EEG, finding that greenery correlates with positive perception and specific brain activity patterns.

The paper investigates how face-likeness affects memory and neural representations, finding that non-face-like houses are better remembered and that representational reliability in the FFA correlates with memory performance.

This study examines how brain volume differences in adults are stable from young adulthood or change with age, using MRI data from 8,311 individuals.

This study investigates the relationship between brain atrophy and memory decline in aging using longitudinal data, finding a nonlinear association that intensifies with age and is influenced by APOE ε4 carriership.

This study assesses the reliability of structural brain change in cognitively healthy adults over time, finding that longer follow-up periods significantly improve reliability compared to increasing observation frequency.

This study identifies a hyperconnected thalamo-cortico-cerebellar network in schizophrenia patients using resting state fMRI and network-based statistics.

This study examines working memory dynamics in older adults and MCI patients, finding age-related declines in memory quality and links to cognitive integrity.

This study shows that nature exposure reduces pain perception by altering specific neural pain processing pathways, not just through general effects or reporting bias.

This study investigates whether childhood cellular aging markers predict brain morphology in adolescence but finds no significant associations.

This study uses virtual reality to investigate the neural correlates of an illusionary sense of agency during passive observation, finding increased temporal binding linked to the right angular gyrus and inferior parietal lobule.

This study identifies a latent clinical-anatomical dimension linking metabolic syndrome severity to brain morphology and cognition in 40,087 individuals.

The paper investigates the effects of short sleep on brain structure and cognitive function, finding that short sleepers without daytime tiredness have larger brain volumes but slightly lower cognitive scores.

The paper examines age-related cortical thickness changes in a large cohort, linking them to structural and functional brain network topology and cognitive performance.

This study examines the relationship between dopaminergic and noradrenergic brain region integrity and late-life memory performance using longitudinal MRI data.

The paper investigates how general cognitive ability relates to cortical brain volume changes over time, finding associations with both brain reserve and maintenance mechanisms.

The paper introduces a method to estimate local errors in multi-parameter mapping (MPM) neuroimaging data, improving group-level sensitivity by accounting for noise and artefacts.

This study shows that weather effects on brain functions cannot be reliably detected using fMRI, as prediction accuracies are due to MRI scanner baseline signals rather than actual brain responses.

The paper examines age-related differences in fractional anisotropy in the locus coeruleus and its ascending noradrenergic tract using diffusion-weighted MRI across three datasets.

This study examines the relationship between sleep duration and brain structure using MRI data, finding that 6.8 hours of sleep is associated with the most favorable brain outcomes, with genetic analyses suggesting homeostatic regulation of sleep duration.

This study investigates how language training, physical exercise, or their combination affects brain structure, cognitive performance, and psychosocial functioning in older adults.

This study finds that adult brain age is more influenced by early life factors like birth weight and polygenic scores than by longitudinal brain decline.

The paper assesses metacognitive access to facial expressions by analyzing confidence ratings and objective performance in young adults.

This study shows that mnemonic training improves durable memory formation by reducing task-based brain activation and enhancing consolidation.

The paper identifies asymmetric thinning of the cerebral cortex across aging and Alzheimer's Disease, showing that the initially thicker hemisphere thins faster, with this pattern replicated across multiple cohorts.

The paper tracks brain structural and functional changes in aspiring musicians over six months, finding gray-matter volume decreases and increased functional connectivity in key auditory regions compared to amateur musicians.

The paper examines the relationship between locus coeruleus MRI contrast and cortical thickness in older and younger adults, finding a positive association in specific brain regions.

The paper introduces a multimodal imaging approach to assess grey matter structural integrity in older adults and finds it correlates with episodic memory, particularly in men.

This paper identifies stable developmental clusters of subcortical volumetric change across the lifespan and shows genetic organization within these clusters.

This study examines how brain network modularity changes during working memory training using fMRI, finding increased modularity and altered integration between key systems.
