The paper quantifies hippocampal subfield volumes and myelin-sensitive tissue concentrations in children and adolescents, finding distinct developmental trajectories and sex-specific patterns.

This study examines how screen time at age two relates to language outcomes and brain development at ages two and three, finding negative associations between screen time and brain volumes.

This study uses fMRI to show dynamic transitions between idea generation and evaluation during creative storytelling, supported by deep learning analysis of brain state transitions.

The paper introduces funcmasker-flex, a BIDS App using a 3D U-net to automate fetal fMRI brain segmentation, achieving high Dice scores and reducing manual effort.

The paper examines how proficiency and age of acquisition influence language representation in bilinguals using representational similarity analysis.

This study examines cognitive training effects on white matter changes and transfer to similar or different tasks, finding no transfer but distinct white matter modifications in trained groups.

The paper assesses cognitive function differences across age and gender using a large sample, finding minimal gender differences but highlighting environmental influences.

The paper uses the critical Ising model to show that integrated information, a measure of consciousness, undergoes a phase transition at criticality, suggesting consciousness emerges from self-organized criticality.
