Neurobiological and metabolic basis of motivation and effort-based decision-making - A human 1H-MRS, fMRI and machine learning study

Motivation is a multifaceted phenomenon that we explore within the framework of decision-making. Through this cognitive process, actions are directed towards specific goals by performing a trade-off between the cost and benefit of an action. The dorsomedia ...

White adipose tissue distribution and amount are associated with increased white matter connectivity

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Philipp Johannes Koch, Liana Okudzhava

Obesity represents a significant public health concern and is linked to various comorbidities and cognitive impairments. Previous research indicates that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with structural changes in white matter (WM). However, a ...

Uncovering interactions between Descending Neurons as a functional principle of behavioural control

Jonas Friedrich Braun

Animals, including humans, exhibit a remarkable variety of complex behaviours. How the nervous system controls all these behaviours ranging from simple, stereotyped movements to flexible, adaptive actions is a central questions of neuroscience. One of the ...

Brain connectome correlates of short-term motor learning in healthy older subjects

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Chang-Hyun Park, Maeva Moyne

The motor learning process entails plastic changes in the brain, especially in brain network reconfigurations. In the current study, we sought to characterize motor learning by determining changes in the coupling behaviour between the brain functional and ...

Differential Impact of Brain Network Efficiency on Poststroke Motor and Attentional Deficits

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Gabriel Girard, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philip Egger, Philipp Johannes Koch

Background:Most studies on stroke have been designed to examine one deficit in isolation; yet, survivors often have multiple deficits in different domains. While the mechanisms underlying multiple-domain deficits remain poorly understood, network-theoretic ...

A unified framework for Simplicial Kuramoto models

Alexis Arnaudon

Simplicial Kuramoto models have emerged as a diverse and intriguing class of models describing oscillators on simplices rather than nodes. In this paper, we present a unified framework to describe different variants of these models, categorized into three ...

Brain Fingerprinting Using Fmri Spectral Signatures On High-Resolution Cortical Graphs

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Hamid Behjat, Stefano Moia, Carlo Ferritto

Resting-state fMRI has proven to entail subject-specific signatures that can serve as a fingerprint to identify individuals. Conventional methods are based on building a connectivity matrix based on correlation between the average time course of pairs of b ...

Brain's Dynamic Functional Organization with Simultaneous EEG-fMRI Networks

João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Patricia Figueiredo

The brain's functional networks can be assessed using imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). Recent studies have suggested a link between the dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) captured by ...
