This study finds that adolescents with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 have higher aperiodic EEG activity, consistent with increased inhibitory tone, but no cognitive performance differences.

The paper proposes the amygdala burnout hypothesis, showing early-life stress leads to initial amygdala volume increases in adolescence followed by reductions in older age across rodents and humans.

The paper examines how thalamic nuclei's structural and functional properties relate to cognitive performance, finding that functional controllability contributes uniquely to specific cognitive domains beyond structural metrics.

This study uses fMRI and DCMs to compare frontoparietal network connectivity during working memory in NF1 adolescents and neurotypical controls, finding increased intrinsic connectivity in NF1 with mixed modulatory effects.

This study shows that reduced thalamic network controllability in MS patients predicts cognitive impairment better than thalamic volume.

This study identifies altered functional connectivity and network controllability in NF1 adolescents during working memory tasks, which predict cognitive performance and distinguish NF1 from controls.

This study investigates how non-invasive brain stimulation affects effective connectivity during working memory in NF1 patients, finding changes in fronto-striatal connectivity and associations with GABA levels.

This study evaluates how different brain parcellation resolutions affect predictive models of cognition and demographics, finding that low-resolution functional parcellations perform well but no single scheme is optimal across all domains.

This paper shows that combining structural and functional brain connectivity improves predictions of specific cognitive domains, with domain-specific benefits.
