This study finds that high levels of PM2.5 and O3 air pollutants are associated with delayed neurocognitive maturation in early adolescents.

This study uses hyperbolic geometry to show that object concepts are hierarchically organized, with memorability and typicality linked to their position in this structure.

The paper finds that higher scale-free dynamics in brain activity, measured by the Hurst exponent, correlate with greater practice-related performance improvements across three different tasks.

The paper shows that functional brain networks predict sustained attention and working memory in children and adults, with WM networks changing more from preadolescence to adulthood.

This study tests if scale invariance measured by the Hurst exponent can quantify cognitive load using fNIRS during a working memory task, showing higher H during easier tasks.

The paper shows a gradient of decreased Hurst exponent (H) with increased psychopathology and ADHD scores in children, predicting working memory performance and resource allocation imbalances.

This study uses fNIRS and PLS analysis to show how working memory load affects brain activity and performance, revealing task-specific relationships between hemodynamics and accuracy.

The paper evaluates bifactor and second-order models of psychopathology using ABCD Study data, finding both models have adequate psychometric properties but bifactor models offer clearer interpretation of associations with external variables.

The paper examines how song learning in zebra finches affects functional connectivity in the auditory forebrain and its link to song stereotypy.

The paper examines how chemotherapy affects brain connectivity and cognitive health, finding that functional connectivity changes are distinct from behavioral measures of cognitive performance.

The paper shows zebra finches exhibit functional homotopy between brain regions involved in song learning despite lacking a corpus callosum, suggesting alternative mechanisms for interhemispheric coordination.
