Regional cerebral arterial elasticity is associated with cardiovascular health in cognitively healthy older adults

This study examines the relationship between cerebral arterial elasticity and cardiovascular health in older adults, finding that higher cardiovascular risk burden is associated with lower cerebral arterial elasticity.

Changes in aperiodic (1/f slope) activity during a picture-word interference task: Effects of congruency and sequence manipulations

Single-cycle wavelet 1/f EEG slopes in 49 young adults are steeper on incongruent picture-word interference trials and track trial sequence, but only three effects survive family-wise correction.

Ultrafast fMRI detects age-related changes in harmonics of cardiac pulsations in the brain at 7 T

This paper develops an ultra-fast fMRI method at 7 T to detect age-related changes in cardiac pulsation harmonics in the brain.

How to Improve the Reliability of Aperiodic Parameter Estimates in M/EEG: A Method Comparison

This paper compares methods for estimating aperiodic parameters in M/EEG data and finds that allowing more peaks reduces reliability, proposing a censored regression approach to improve estimates.

Region-specific associations between cerebral arterial elasticity and grey matter volume: Evidence for lateral prefrontal vulnerability

The paper investigates how regional cerebral arterial elasticity relates to grey matter volume decline with age, finding partial mediation in the left prefrontal cortex and sex-specific effects.

Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic health are associated with distinct cognitive domains in cognitively healthy older adults.

Neurovascular Mechanisms of Cognitive Aging: Sex-Related Differences in the Average Progression of Arteriosclerosis, White Matter Atrophy, and Cognitive Decline

The paper investigates sex-related differences in the progression of arteriosclerosis, white matter atrophy, and cognitive decline using neuroimaging and behavioral data.

Effects of Aging, Fitness, and Cerebrovascular Status on White Matter Microstructural Health

This study examines how aging, fitness, and cerebrovascular health affect white matter microstructural integrity in adults, finding distinct regional impacts and a mediating role of vascular health.

Event-Induced Modulation of Aperiodic Background EEG: Attention-Dependent and Age-Related Shifts in E:I balance, and Their Consequences for Behavior

The paper examines how the broadband EEG spectrum changes during a cognitive task in young and older adults, showing age-related shifts in excitation-inhibition balance and their impact on behavior.

Dynamics of alpha suppression index both modality specific and general attention processes

The paper examines how alpha suppression in EEG varies with attention allocation to visual or auditory modalities during a bimodal task, finding greater suppression when switching to auditory attention.

Stimulus-induced changes in 1/f-like background activity in EEG

This paper shows that stimuli induce rotational changes in 1/f-like EEG activity, independent of event-related potentials, challenging assumptions about stationary background activity.

Dynamics of alpha suppression and enhancement may be related to resource competition in cross-modal cortical regions

The paper investigates alpha and theta oscillations in response to auditory stimuli with eyes open or closed, finding alpha suppression and enhancement patterns linked to visual processing competition.

The impact of 1/f activity and baseline correction on the results and interpretation of time-frequency analyses of EEG/MEG data: A cautionary tale

The paper examines how baseline correction and 1/f activity affect time-frequency analysis of EEG/MEG data, showing that dB conversion can distort interaction effects when 1/f levels differ between groups.

Spontaneous alpha and theta oscillations are related to complementary aspects of cognitive control in younger and older adults

This study examines the relationship between resting-state EEG oscillations and cognitive control in younger and older adults, finding that alpha and theta power predict proactive and reactive control, respectively.

Removal of high frequency contamination from motion estimates in single-band fMRI saves data without biasing functional connectivity

This paper identifies and removes high-frequency motion artifacts in single-band fMRI data, improving motion estimates and reducing data loss without biasing functional connectivity.
