Gal-9 and DCN Serum Expression Reflect Accelerated Brain Aging and Are Attenuated by the Green-Mediterranean Diet: The 18-month DIRECT PLUS Proteomics-Brain MRI Trial Open
Background We recently reported that a green-Mediterranean (green-MED), high-polyphenol diet is potentially neuroprotective for age-related brain atrophy. Here, we explored the interplay between dietary intervention, proteomics profile, an…

Glycemic control contributes to the neuroprotective effects of Mediterranean and green-Mediterranean diets on brain age: the DIRECT PLUS brain-magnetic resonance imaging randomized controlled trial Open
Glycemic control contributes to the neuroprotective effects of the MED and green-MED diets on brain age. Polyphenols-rich diet components as Mankai and green tea may contribute to a more youthful brain age. This trial was registered at cli…

Deep learning‐based BMI inference from structural brain MRI reflects brain alterations following lifestyle intervention Open
Obesity is associated with negative effects on the brain. We exploit Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to explore whether differences in clinical measurements following lifestyle interventions in overweight population could be reflected i…

Reliability and validity of brain‐gastric phase synchronization Open
Recent studies have reported that various brain regions, mainly sensory, unimodal regions, display phase synchronization with the stomach's slow (0.05 Hz) myoelectrical rhythm. These gastric–brain interactions have broad implications, from…

Fine-scale dynamics of functional connectivity in the face-processing network during movie watching Open
Mapping the human face-processing network is typically done during rest or using isolated, static face images, overlooking widespread cortical interactions obtained in response to naturalistic face dynamics and context. To determine how in…

The effect of weight loss following 18 months of lifestyle intervention on brain age assessed with resting-state functional connectivity Open
Background: Obesity negatively impacts multiple bodily systems, including the central nervous system. Retrospective studies that estimated chronological age from neuroimaging have found accelerated brain aging in obesity, but it is unclear…

Reliability and validity of brain-gastric phase synchronization Open
Recent studies have reported that various brain regions, mainly sensory, unimodal regions, display phase synchronization with the stomach’s slow (0.05 Hz) myoelectrical rhythm. We examined this synchrony in 43 subjects that had undergone m…

Fine-scale dynamics of functional connectivity in the face processing network during movie watching Open
Face are naturally dynamic, multimodal and embedded in rich social context. However, mapping the face processing network in the human brain and its relation to behavior is typically done during rest or using isolated, static face images. T…

Modular community structure of the face network supports face recognition Open
Face recognition is dependent on computations conducted in specialized brain regions and the communication among them, giving rise to the face-processing network. We examined whether modularity of this network may underlie the vast individ…

Mapping individual differences across brain network structure to function and behavior with connectome embedding Open
The connectome, a comprehensive map of the brain's anatomical connections, is often summarized as a matrix comprising all dyadic connections among pairs of brain regions. This representation cannot capture higher-order relations within the…

From a deep learning model back to the brain—Identifying regional predictors and their relation to aging Open
We present a Deep Learning framework for the prediction of chronological age from structural magnetic resonance imaging scans. Previous findings associate increased brain age with neurodegenerative diseases and higher mortality rates. Howe…

From a deep learning model back to the brain - inferring morphological markers and their relation to aging Open
We present a Deep Learning framework for the prediction of chronological age from structural MRI scans. Previous findings associate an overestimation of brain age with neurodegenerative diseases and higher mortality rates. However, the imp…
