Forward reactivation in human hippocampal CA1 supports repetition learning and is preserved in the aging brain

The paper uses fMRI and representational similarity analysis to show that forward reactivation in hippocampal CA1 supports repetition learning and is preserved in aging.

Functional deficits of the inhibitory control system in children with ADHD: A task-based fMRI meta-analysis

This study identifies reduced preSMA activation in children with ADHD during inhibitory control tasks using fMRI meta-analysis.

Whole-brain modeling of dynamic causal circuits in human cognition using amortized variational inference

This paper introduces MDSI-AVI, a framework for modeling whole-brain causal interactions in fMRI data, revealing new insights into working memory mechanisms.

Protracted Maturation of Proactive and Reactive Systems Predicts Cognitive Stability and Psychopathology : A longitudinal multi-cohort study

The paper uses longitudinal fMRI data to show that proactive and reactive control networks stabilize after mid-adolescence, predicting cognitive stability and psychopathology.

Nonergodicity and Simpson's paradox in neurocognitive dynamics of cognitive control

The paper investigates nonergodicity and Simpson's paradox in cognitive control dynamics using brain imaging and behavioral data from over 4,000 children, revealing brain-behavior associations that reverse between between-subjects and within-subjects analyses.

Latent brain state dynamics predict early amyloid accumulation and cognitive impairment

This study uses brain state dynamics to predict early amyloid accumulation and cognitive impairment in older adults.

Developmental deviations of structural connectivity in youths with ADHD predict symptom and treatment outcomes

This study identifies structural connectivity deviations in ADHD youths as biomarkers predicting symptom progression and treatment response.

Heterogeneity of human insular cortex: Five principles of functional organization across multiple cognitive domains

Shared and distinct neural signatures of inhibitory control deficits in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism

This study identifies shared and distinct neural patterns in inhibitory control deficits between ADHD and ASD using fMRI data.

Reduced temporal and spatial stability of neural activity patterns predict cognitive control deficits in children with ADHD

This study identifies increased temporal variability and reduced spatial stability in neural activity patterns in children with ADHD, correlating with cognitive control deficits and symptom severity.

Computational Modeling of Proactive, Reactive, and Attentional Dynamics in Cognitive Control

This paper introduces a computational model to analyze inhibitory control mechanisms using data from a large cohort study, revealing individual variability and nonergodicity in cognitive processes.

Quantitative modeling links in vivo microstructural and macrofunctional organization of human and macaque insular cortex, and predicts cognitive control abilities

The paper uses diffusion MRI to analyze microstructural and macrofunctional organization of the human and macaque insula, linking these features to cognitive control abilities.
