This study examines how early sensory loss affects thalamocortical networks, finding structural and functional changes in visual and auditory systems.

The paper uses neuroimaging data to study how plasticity in language-related brain regions changes across early childhood, finding distinct patterns of development in different brain areas.

This study examines how acute alcohol consumption affects neural inhibition in both rats and humans using the Hurst exponent as an fMRI marker, finding reduced inhibition in both species.

This paper investigates how play behavior in children is linked to brain network integration, finding stronger connections among the default mode, executive control, and salience networks with more frequent play.

This study compares myelination patterns across cortical depths and hierarchies in humans and macaques, finding a conserved inside-out pattern with extended myelination in humans.

This study validates the Hurst exponent as a marker of inhibition in developing brains across species and shows its developmental plateau aligns with parvalbumin expression.

This study shows that medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) reduces reward-seeking behavior under positive punishment risk by decreasing reward sensitivity, but not negative punishment.
