Cross-Modal Organization of Facial and Vocal Behavior Revealed by Coordination Metrics Derived from Temporal Alignment

The paper introduces cross-modal coordination metrics derived from temporal alignment of facial and vocal behaviors to characterize individual differences in expressive communication.

Mapping Pathways to Neuronal Atrophy in Healthy, Mid-aged Adults: From Chronic Stress to Systemic Inflammation to Neurodegeneration?

This study examines pathways from chronic stress and inflammation to neuronal atrophy in healthy mid-aged adults using structural equation models.

Differential increase of hippocampal subfield volume after socio-affective mental training relates to reductions in diurnal cortisol

This study shows that a socio-affective mental training module increases hippocampal subfield volume and functional connectivity, correlating with reduced cortisol levels in healthy adults.

Contemplative mental training reduces hair glucocorticoid levels in a randomized clinical trial

This study shows that contemplative mental training reduces hair cortisol and cortisone levels in healthy adults, with effects increasing with practice frequency and independent of training content.
