Behavioral outcome of very preterm children at 5 years of age: Prognostic utility of brain tissue volumes at term-equivalent-age, perinatal, and environmental factors

Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas

ObjectivePrematurity is associated with a high risk of long-term behavioral problems. This study aimed to assess the prognostic utility of volumetric brain data at term-equivalent-age (TEA), clinical perinatal factors, and parental social economic risk in ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals mitochondrial pathways associated with distinct adolescent behavioral phenotypes and stress response

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Dogukan Hazar Ülgen, Thamyris Silva

Adolescent individuals exhibit great variability in cortical dynamics and behavioral outcomes. The developing adolescent brain is highly sensitive to social experiences and environmental insults, influencing how personality traits emerge. A distinct patter ...

Experimental behavior of iron-based shape memory alloys under cyclic loading histories

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Diego Isidoro Heredia Rosa, Masoud Motavalli, Alexander Riley Hartloper, Elyas Ghafoori

The present paper investigates the behavior of iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) subjected to cyclic inelastic straining by means of uniaxial coupon experiments. The tests feature round bar coupons subjected to a broad range of uniaxial cyclic strai ...

Exploring MEG brain fingerprints: Evaluation, pitfalls, and interpretations

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Alessandra Griffa, Enrico Amico, Ekansh Sareen, Sélima Zahar

Individual characterization of subjects based on their functional connectome (FC), termed “FC fingerprinting”, has become a highly sought-after goal in contemporary neuroscience research. Recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have dem ...

Personalizable intervention systems to promote healthy behavior change

Igor Kulev

Adopting healthy behaviors can prevent the onset of many adverse health conditions. However, behavior changes are difficult to make, and often, people who like to improve their behaviors do not know how to do that. Personalizable intervention systems could ...

Tapping into Multi-Faceted Human Behavior and Psychopathology Using fMRI Brain Dynamics

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Maria Giulia Preti, Elenor Morgenroth

Human behavior comprises many aspects that stand out by their dynamic nature. To quantify its neural underpinnings, time-resolved fMRI methods have blossomed over the past decade. In this review we conceptually organize a broad repertoire of dynamic analyt ...

Painting by Numbers: Computational Methods and the History of Art

Leonardo Laurence Impett

This thesis presents a new methodology for computational art history, in the tradition of Distant Reading from literary criticism. This method is based on operationalisation, the transcription of a concept or theory from cultural history into an algorithm. ...
