Population-specific brain charts reveal Chinese-Western differences in neurodevelopmental trajectories

The paper develops population-specific brain charts for Chinese individuals, revealing distinct neurodevelopmental patterns compared to Western populations and showing better performance in predicting brain phenotypes.

{xi}-π: a nonparametric model for neural powerspectra decomposition

This paper introduces {xi}-π, a nonparametric model for decomposing neural power spectra into aperiodic and periodic components, showing improved performance over existing parametric models.

High Gamma and Beta Temporal Interference Stimulation in the Human Motor Cortex Improves Motor Functions

This study shows that high gamma and beta TI stimulation improves motor function in humans by enhancing reaction time and motor cortex excitability.

Humanoid robots are perceived as an evolutionary threat

The paper investigates how humans perceive humanoid robots as evolutionary threats, finding amygdala activation and monocular advantage similar to responses to snakes.

Alpha Oscillatory Activity Causally Linked to Working Memory Retention: Insights from Online Phase-corrected Closed-loop Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS)

This study uses phase-corrected tACS to show that parietal alpha oscillations causally affect working memory retention.

Impulsivity and Thought Suppression in Behavioral Addiction: Associated Neural Connectivity and Neural Networks

The paper investigates the neural connectivity and networks associated with impulsivity and thought suppression in excessive internet users, finding shared neural connections and a role for the occipital network in behavioral addiction.

Satellite Imaging of Global Urbanicity relate to Adolescent Brain Development and Behavior

This study uses satellite data to assess urbanicity's impact on brain structure, function, and behavior in adolescents across two populations, finding correlations with brain volume and depression symptoms.
