Oligodendrocyte Genes, White Matter Tract Integrity, and Cognition in Schizophrenia 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Oligodendrocyte genes and white matter tracts have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and may play an important etiopathogenic role in cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. The ...
Inflammatory Pathways Link Socioeconomic Inequalities to White Matter Architecture 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Socioeconomic disadvantage confers risk for aspects of ill health that may be mediated by systemic inflammatory influences on the integrity of distributed brain networks. Following this hypothesis, we...
Developmental Changes in Organization of Structural Brain Networks 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Recent findings from developmental neuroimaging studies suggest that the enhancement of cognitive processes during development may be the result of a fine-tuning of the structural and functional organ...
Resting-State Synchrony During Early Alcohol Abstinence Can Predict Subsequent Relapse 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Short-term abstinent alcoholics have shown increased engagement of reward regions and reduced engagement of executive control regions. There is no report yet on whether these differences can predict r...
Regional Infant Brain Development: An MRI-Based Morphometric Analysis in 3 to 13 Month Olds 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Elucidation of infant brain development is a critically important goal given the enduring impact of these early processes on various domains including later cognition and language. Although infants’ w...
Diffusion Properties of Molecules at the Blood-Brain Interface: Potential Contributions of Astrocyte Endfeet to Diffusion Barrier Functions 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Molecular diffusion in the extracellular space (ECS) plays a key role in determining tissue physiology and pharmacology. The blood–brain barrier regulates the exchange of substances between the brain ...
Parietal Functional Connectivity in Numerical Cognition 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
The parietal cortex is central to numerical cognition. The right parietal region is primarily involved in basic quantity processing, while the left parietal region is additionally involved in precise ...
Linkage Between the Midline Cortical Serotonergic System and Social Behavior Traits: Positron Emission Tomography Studies of Common Marmosets 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Serotonin is known to play an important role not only in regulating emotional behaviors, but also in the formation of social behavior traits. To determine the location and serotonin function of brain ...
Dissociable Frontal-Striatal and Frontal-Parietal Networks Involved in Updating Hierarchical Contexts in Working Memory 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Recent theories propose that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is organized in a hierarchical fashion with more abstract, higher level information represented in anterior regions and more concrete, lower le...
Cortical Brain Morphology in Young, Estrogen-Naive, and Adolescent, Estrogen-Treated Girls with Turner Syndrome 31 Jul 2013 | 07:18 pm
Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic condition that permits direct investigation of the complex interaction among genes, hormones, behavior, and brain development. Here, we used automated segmentation an...
