Predicting Real‐Life Cognitive Scores From Functional Connectivity Open
Over the past decade, functional connectivity patterns, derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have been widely used to predict various cognitive traits. However, most studies have focused on measures assessed under con…

Neural activation changes following attention bias modification treatment or a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for social anxiety disorder Open
Background Delineation of changes in neural function associated with novel and established treatments for social anxiety disorder (SAD) can advance treatment development. We examined such changes following selective serotonin reuptake inhi…

Distinct Neural Plasticity Enhancing Visual Perception Open
The developed human brain shows remarkable plasticity following perceptual learning, resulting in improved visual sensitivity. However, such improvements commonly require extensive stimuli exposure. Here we show that efficiently enhancing …

Neuroanatomy in virtual reality: Development and pedagogical evaluation of photogrammetry‐based <span>3D</span> brain models Open
Anatomy studies are an essential part of medical training. The study of neuroanatomy in particular presents students with a unique challenge of three‐dimensional spatial understanding. Virtual Reality (VR) has been suggested to address thi…

From repetition-based to reactivation-induced perceptual learning: engagement of higher-order attentional brain regions Open
The adult human brain shows remarkable plasticity following perceptual learning, resulting in improved visual sensitivity. Such improvements in visual perception commonly require extensive practice, predominantly mediated by practice-depen…

Generalizing prediction of task-evoked brain activity across datasets and populations Open
Predictions of task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) from task-free resting-state (rs) fMRI have gained popularity over the past decade. This method holds a great promise for studying individual variability in brain funct…

Short-Term Effects of an American Football Game on Cognitive Function, Memory, and Brain Functional Connectivity Open
Introduction/Purpose Head impacts associated with American football have been associated with short- and long-term disrupted cognitive performance. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of an acute game of American football on c…
Act natural: Functional connectivity from naturalistic stimuli fMRI outperforms resting-state in predicting brain activity Open
The search for an 'ideal' approach to investigate the functional connections in the human brain is an ongoing challenge for the neuroscience community. While resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been widely used t…

Predicting Individual Traits from Unperformed Tasks Open
Relating individual differences in cognitive traits to brain functional organization is a long-lasting challenge for the neuroscience community. Individual intelligence scores were previously predicted from whole-brain connectivity pattern…

Neuromodulation of Visual Cortex Reduces the Intensity of Intrusive Memories Open
Aversive events can be reexperienced as involuntary and spontaneous mental images of the event. Given that the vividness of retrieved mental images is coupled with elevated visual activation, we tested whether neuromodulation of the visual…

Predicting individual variability in task‐evoked brain activity in schizophrenia Open
What goes wrong in a schizophrenia patient's brain that makes it so different from a healthy brain? In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the abnormal brain activity in schizophrenia is tightly related to alterations in brain connec…

Neuromodulation of visual cortex reduces the intensity of intrusive visual emotional memories Open
Aversive events are sometimes re-experienced as intrusive memories – i.e., involuntary and spontaneous retrievals of the aversive memory accompanied by significant distress. Intrusive memories are predominantly visual, and previous results…

Brain volumetric changes in the general population following the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown Open
The COVID-19 outbreak introduced unprecedented health-risks, as well as pressure on the financial, social, and psychological well-being due to the response to the outbreak. Here, we examined the manifestations of the COVID-19 outbreak on t…
Predicting Individual Variability in Task-Evoked Brain Activity in Schizophrenia Open
BACKGROUND Patients suffering from schizophrenia demonstrate abnormal brain activity, as well as alterations in patterns of functional connectivity assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Previous studies in healthy parti…
Haptoglobin 1-1 Genotype Modulates the Association of Glycemic Control With Hippocampal Volume in Elderly Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Open
Recent evidence suggests that glycemic control is associated with cognitive function in older patients with type 2 diabetes who are carriers of the haptoglobin (Hp) 1-1 genotype compared with noncarriers. We assessed whether poor glycemic …
