This study examines changes in hippocampal functional connectivity in students undergoing active vs. lecture-based physics learning using fMRI.

The paper uses fMRI to compare brain state dynamics between active and lecture-based physics learning, finding distinct neural patterns associated with each approach.

The DIVA Study investigates intra-individual variability in brain and behavior across the menstrual cycle in premenopausal women using multimodal neuroimaging and physiological data.

This paper develops and evaluates methods for decoding functional connectivity gradients in fMRI data using meta-analytic techniques and k-means segmentation.

The paper investigates how STEM anxiety profiles correlate with brain connectivity during physics tasks using fMRI and latent profile analysis.

The paper examines how IQ, academic performance, and brain connectivity relate in physics students, finding IQ increases and associations with brain connectivity, but no mediation of academic outcomes.

This study uses fMRI to show that active-learning and lecture-based physics instruction lead to brain activity reorganization, with sex differences observed in frontoparietal, default mode, and visual areas, and pedagogy-sex interactions during physics retrieval.

The paper examines brain function during physics problem solving in students, linking conceptual approaches to neural mechanisms and success in science reasoning.

This study examines sex differences in brain connectivity related to STEM anxiety in undergraduate physics students, finding sex-specific impacts on neural networks and academic performance.
