Transcranial vibration stimulation at 40 Hz induced neural activity and promoted the coupling of global brain activity and cerebrospinal fluid flow by Linghan Kong, Wei Jin, Yue Jiang, Fuhua Yan, Jun Liu, Eric C. Leuthardt, Guang-Zhong Yang, Yuan Feng

“…Methods: A custom-built head actuator was used to apply 40 Hz TVS to human brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) were performed before and after 5 mins TVS to explore the changes in ALFF and fALFF and the coupling of global brain activity with cerebrospinal fluid flow (CSF), which is related to the glymphatic clearance. …”

Multimodal fusion model for diagnosing mild cognitive impairment in unilateral middle cerebral artery steno-occlusive disease by Ziyi Yuan, Zhaodi Huang, Chaojun Li, Shengrong Li, Qingguo Ren, Xiaona Xia, Qingjun Jiang, Daoqiang Zhang, Qi Zhu, Xiangshui Meng, Xiangshui Meng

“…ObjectivesTo propose a multimodal functional brain network (FBN) and structural brain network (SBN) topological feature fusion technique based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), 3D-T1-weighted imaging (3D-T1WI), and demographic characteristics to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) steno-occlusive disease.MethodsThe performances of different algorithms on the MCI dataset were evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation. …”

The medial and lateral orbitofrontal cortex jointly represent the cognitive map of task space by Liwei Tan, Yidan Qiu, Lixin Qiu, Shuting Lin, Jinhui Li, Jiajun Liao, Yuting Zhang, Wei Zou, Ruiwang Huang

“…By performing a multi-step sequential task and multivariate analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, we found that the mOFC and lOFC play complementary but dissociable roles in this process. …”

Self-reports map the landscape of task states derived from brain imaging by Brontë Mckeown, Ian Goodall-Halliwell, Raven Wallace, Louis Chitiz, Bridget Mulholland, Theodoros Karapanagiotidis, Samyogita Hardikar, Will Strawson, Adam Turnbull, Tamara Vanderwal, Nerissa Ho, Hao-Ting Wang, Ting Xu, Michael Milham, Xiuyi Wang, Meichao Zhang, Tirso RJ Gonzalez Alam, Reinder Vos de Wael, Boris Bernhardt, Daniel Margulies, Jeffrey Wammes, Elizabeth Jefferies, Robert Leech, Jonathan Smallwood

“…Over the last two decades, studies have shown that introspective descriptions of psychological states correlate with objective indicators of cognition, including task performance and metrics of brain function, using techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Such evidence suggests it may be possible to quantify the mapping between self-reports of experience and objective representations of those states (e.g., those inferred from measures of brain activity). …”

A double dissociation between semantic and spatial cognition in visual to default network pathways by Tirso RJ Gonzalez Alam, Katya Krieger-Redwood, Dominika Varga, Zhiyao Gao, Aidan J Horner, Tom Hartley, Michel Thiebaut de Schotten, Magdalena Sliwinska, David Pitcher, Daniel S Margulies, Jonathan Smallwood, Elizabeth Jefferies

“…Later, they made semantic and spatial context decisions about these objects and buildings during functional magnetic resonance imaging. A lateral ventral occipital to fronto-temporal DMN pathway was primarily engaged by semantic judgements, while a medial visual to medial temporal DMN pathway supported spatial context judgements. …”

Caloric labels do not influence taste pleasantness and neural responses to erythritol and sucrose by Aleksandra Budzinska, Laura Byl, Fabienne Teysseire, Emilie Flad, Patrick Dupont, Bettina Wölnerhanssen, Anne Christin Meyer-Gerspach, Lukas Van Oudenhove, Nathalie Weltens

“…Introduction: The beneficial effects of substituting sugar with non-caloric sweeteners (NCSs) remain uncertain due to the mismatch between their rewarding sweet taste and lack of energy content. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies indicate an influence of cognitive processes (e.g., beliefs, expectations) on reward system responses to NCSs, thereby changing their rewarding properties. …”

A semantic strength and neural correlates in developmental dyslexia by Sladjana Lukic, Sladjana Lukic, Sladjana Lukic, Fei Jiang, Maria Luisa Mandelli, Maria Luisa Mandelli, Ting Qi, Sarah M. Inkelis, Sarah M. Inkelis, Emily Rosenthal, Emily Rosenthal, Zachary Miller, Zachary Miller, Emma Wellman, Emma Wellman, Silvia A. Bunge, Silvia A. Bunge, Silvia A.

“…In the present study, we investigated semantic fluency as a cognitive strength in English-speaking children with dyslexia aged 8–13.MethodsNinety-seven children with dyslexia completed tests of letter and semantic verbal fluency, standardized measures of reading and cognitive functions, and task-free resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). First, we adjusted performance on semantic fluency by letter fluency and created a residual score that was used to separate participants into high (residual >0) or average (residual <0) semantic performance groups. …”
