From cognitive abstraction to adaptive behavior: neural bases of concept learning in autistic adolescents

The paper investigates concept learning in autistic adolescents using computational models and neuroimaging, finding that prototype-based representations are more common than expected.

MRI Brain Templates of the Male Yucatan Minipig

This paper creates an average brain template for male Yucatan minipigs using non-linear registration and evaluates its performance compared to linear methods and another minipig species template.

Risk-related decision making evokes distinct brain activation patterns in reward evaluation regions in substance use naïve versus non-naïve adolescents

The paper examines brain activation patterns in adolescents during reward decision-making, finding differences between those who initiate substance use and those who do not.

Auditory-Vestibulomotor Temporal Processing and Crossmodal Plasticity for Musical Rhythm in the Early Blind

This study investigates auditory-vestibulomotor integration in the early blind using fMRI and motion capture, showing preserved circuitry and its correlation with physical activity.

Altered cortical development and psychiatric symptom risk in adolescents exposed to maternal stress in utero

This study finds that maternal stress during pregnancy is associated with increased gray matter volume in specific brain regions and higher psychiatric symptom risk in adolescents.

Dietary long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are related to impulse control and anterior cingulate function in adolescents

This study finds that higher dietary intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids is associated with better impulse control and reduced anterior cingulate activation in adolescents.
