Concussion decreases brain signal variability

This study shows that concussion reduces BOLD signal variability in specific brain networks, linking it to symptom severity and cognitive decline.

Brain Structural and Resting-state Functional Network Changes Following Expiratory Musculature Targeted Resistance Training in Healthy Young Adults: A Pilot Study

This study examines the effects of expiratory muscle strength training on brain structure and function in healthy adults, finding increased functional connectivity without structural changes.

Cognitive reappraisal of food and emotion cues involves common and unique neural contributions

This study identifies brain regions activated during cognitive reappraisal of food versus emotion cues, revealing both common and unique neural contributions.

Second language learning in older adults modulates Stroop task performance and brain activation

This study shows that language learning in older adults improves Stroop task performance and alters brain activation in prefrontal and parietal regions, with more engagement leading to greater changes.

Concussion-related disruptions to hub connectivity in the default mode network are related to symptoms and cognition

The paper examines how concussion affects connectivity within and between brain networks, linking these changes to symptoms and cognitive performance in athletes.

Global connectivity fingerprints predict the domain generality of multiple-demand regions

The paper shows that global connectivity patterns in the brain predict the domain generality of cognitive control regions using resting-state fMRI data.

Constructing neural network models from brain data reveals representational transformations underlying adaptive behavior

The paper constructs neural network models from fMRI data to reveal how conjunction hubs support adaptive behavior through integrative computations.

Flexible coordinator and switcher hubs for adaptive task control

The paper investigates dynamic network properties of cognitive control networks in humans using a high-control-demand task, revealing distinct roles for the frontoparietal and cingulo-opercular networks.

Specialization of phonological and semantic reading routes in early childhood

This study identifies the specialization of phonological and semantic processing in early childhood using fMRI and pattern analysis, showing left hemisphere phonological and bilateral parietal semantic activation.

Task activations produce spurious but systematic inflation of task functional connectivity estimates

The paper shows that task-evoked activations inflate task-state functional connectivity estimates and demonstrates that flexible modeling of hemodynamic responses effectively corrects this inflation.

Global connectivity of the frontoparietal cognitive control network is related to depression symptoms in the general population

The paper examines the relationship between depression symptoms and frontoparietal cognitive control network connectivity in healthy individuals, finding negative correlations with global connectivity.

Cognitive task information is transferred between brain regions via resting-state network topology

The paper introduces information transfer mapping to show resting-state network topology predicts cognitive task information transfer between brain regions.
