Early life stress alters lifespan trajectories of amygdala development: a cross-species model of amygdala burnout

The paper proposes the amygdala burnout hypothesis, showing early-life stress leads to initial amygdala volume increases in adolescence followed by reductions in older age across rodents and humans.

Sex-specific associations of childhood adversity with frontostriatal network organization and anhedonia in young adulthood

The paper examines how childhood adversity dimensions relate to frontostriatal network connectivity and anhedonia in young adults, finding sex-specific associations.

Thalamic Nuclei Functional Controllability Accounts for Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis Over and Above Structural Damage

The paper investigates how thalamic functional controllability contributes to cognitive impairment in MS beyond structural damage, finding it independently predicts cognitive performance.

Thalamic Nuclei Functional Controllability Explains Cognition Over and Above Grey and White Matter Structure

The paper examines how thalamic nuclei's structural and functional properties relate to cognitive performance, finding that functional controllability contributes uniquely to specific cognitive domains beyond structural metrics.

Multi-Timescale Neural Adaptation Failure as a Mechanistic Signature of Major Depression

This paper identifies neural adaptation failure as a core mechanism of major depression, showing it outperforms traditional measures in classification and provides a scalable biomarker.

Thalamic Network Controllability Predicts Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis

This study shows that reduced thalamic network controllability in MS patients predicts cognitive impairment better than thalamic volume.

Information Shielding Through Neural Deactivation: A Fundamental Mechanism of Human Information Processing

The paper demonstrates that information shielding involves deactivation of neural regions, challenging the traditional view that activation is the primary mode of information processing.

Cerebrovascular Health Mediates Processing Speed Change Through Anterior White Matter Alterations: A UK Biobank Study

This study shows that poor cerebrovascular health slows processing speed through anterior white matter changes in middle-aged adults, with effects specific to cognition and risk factor duration.

InSpectro-Gadget: A tool for estimating neurotransmitter and neuromodulator receptor distributions for MRS voxels

InSpectro-Gadget estimates neurotransmitter and neuromodulator receptor distributions in MRS voxels using receptor mRNA data from the Allen Human Brain Atlas.

Impact of brain parcellation on prediction error in models of cognition and demographics

This study evaluates how different brain parcellation resolutions affect predictive models of cognition and demographics, finding that low-resolution functional parcellations perform well but no single scheme is optimal across all domains.

Combination of structural and functional connectivity explains unique variation in specific domains of cognitive function.

This paper shows that combining structural and functional brain connectivity improves predictions of specific cognitive domains, with domain-specific benefits.

Individual differences in social reward and threat expectancies linked to grey matter volumes in key regions of the social brain

The paper links individual differences in social reward and threat expectancies to grey matter volumes in specific brain regions using structural MRI and voxel-based morphometry.

The Effects of Social Stress on Memory: If, How and When

This study investigates the impact of psychosocial stress on memory, finding modest effects and highlighting individual differences in stress responsivity.

Fatigue and cognitive performance change in MS: multifactorial with disparate influences

This study examines factors influencing fatigue and cognitive performance in MS patients, finding psychological and cognitive variables significantly predict fatigue and performance changes.
