Musical training-induced plasticity reflects melodic rather than instrumental expertise

This study shows that musical training leads to behavioral generalization but neural plasticity is specific to the learned melody, not the instrument.

Continuous structural neuroplasticity during motor learning - a diffusion MRI study

This study uses diffusion MRI to continuously monitor microstructural brain changes during motor learning, revealing dynamic neuroplasticity patterns in specific brain regions.

Act Natural: Functional Connectivity from Naturalistic Stimuli fMRI Outperforms Resting-State in Predicting Brain Activity

This study shows that functional connectivity from naturalistic stimuli fMRI better predicts brain activation and intelligence scores than resting-state fMRI.

Predicting Individual Traits from Unperformed Tasks

The paper predicts individual traits from task-induced brain activation maps generated from resting-state fMRI data, showing improved accuracy over resting-state connectivity patterns.

Short-Term Plasticity Following Motor Sequence Learning Revealed by Diffusion MRI

This study uses diffusion MRI to show short-term structural brain plasticity after motor sequence learning, revealing dynamic changes in motor regions like the premotor cortex and cerebellum.

The processing of dynamic faces in the human brain: Support for an integrated neural framework of face processing.

This study investigates face processing in the human brain using fMRI, finding that the pSTS-FA is more responsive to dynamic faces and changeable aspects, while FFA and OFA show similar responses across conditions.
