Motor Sequence Learning in Children and Adults: Age Differences in the Time Course of Brain Activation and Representational Stability

This study compares brain activation patterns and representational stability during motor sequence learning in children and adults, finding age differences in M1 involvement and stability.

Vamos en bici: Study protocol of an investigation of cognitive and neural changes following language training, physical exercise training, or a combination of both

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

Reliability of quantitative multiparameter maps is high for MT and PD but attenuated for R1 and R2* in healthy young adults

The paper assesses the reliability of four MRI parameters in healthy young adults, finding high reliability for MT and PD but lower for R1 and R2* across brain regions.

Observing plasticity of the auditory system: Volumetric decreases along with increased functional connectivity in aspiring professional musicians

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.

Resting-state fMRI correlations: from link-wiseunreliability to whole brain stability

This study investigates the reliability and variability of resting-state fMRI functional connectivity, showing that while single links are unreliable, whole-brain correlation structures are stable and can serve as functional fingerprints.
