Functional Connectivity in the Default Mode Network During Rumination in Depression: A Systematic Review Open
Aims: The Default Mode Network (DMN) is a network of brain regions that are functionally connected and become active during self-directed thought, introspection, and rumination. Rumination refers to the repetitive and passive focus on dist…

The neuroscience of compassion: a scoping review of the literature on the neuroscience of compassion and compassion-related therapies Open
Objectives: Compassion is the emotion that motivates people to relieve the physical, emotional, or mental pains of others. Engaging in compassionate behaviour has been found to enhance psychological wellness and resilience. However, consta…

Early life adversity and White Matter Microstructural Organization - a systematic review Open
Early life adversity, defined as exposure to stressful events during childhood, is a significant risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders. Diffusion tensor imaging studies employing tract-based spatial statistics have shown…

Pulvinar and Ventral Thalamic Nuclei Changes Occur Early Along the Psychosis Spectrum Open
Background Psychosis may be conceptualized as a spectrum disorder, with psychotic experiences (PEs), fleeting, subtle symptoms not warranting clinical presentation—at its mildest end. The thalamus, particularly its pulvinar region, is impl…

Limbic System White Matter in Children and Adolescents with ADHD: A Longitudinal Diffusion MRI Analysis Open
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly recognized as a disorder linked to atypical white matter development across large-scale brain networks. However, current research predominantly focuses on cortical networks, l…

Bullying and Early Brain Development: A Longitudinal Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study from Adolescence to Early Adulthood Open
To explore this, we conducted the largest structural MRI analysis to date (n=2094, including 1009 females), across three time points from the IMAGEN study, tracking region-specific brain volume trajectories from adolescence to early adulth…

Imaging the three human primary amygdala output tracts with age and sex characterisation across the lifespan Open
Background - The amygdala is involved memory and emotion processing and communicates with the rest of the brain through three efferent tracts: the stria terminalis (ST), ventral amygdalofugal pathway (VAP), and anterior commissure (AC). Th…

Connectome‐based predictive modelling of cognitive reserve using task‐based functional connectivity Open
Cognitive reserve supports cognitive function in the presence of pathology or atrophy. Functional neuroimaging may enable direct and accurate measurement of cognitive reserve which could have considerable clinical potential. The present st…

White matter microstructure in children and adolescents with ADHD Open
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Advances in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition sequences and analytic techniques have led to growing body of evidence that abnorma…
