Neural-based Valuation of Functional Foods Among Lean and Obese Individuals
Functional foods may contribute to establish healthy eating habits and reduce obesity and related comorbidities. Differences in the brain mechanisms underpinning the valuation of functional foods in individuals with excess weight may inform the development of attractive functional foods.
Is cognitive training an effective tool for improving cognitive function and real-life behaviour in healthy children and adolescents? A systematic review
Computerised cognitive training (CCT) has been applied to improve cognitive function in pathological conditions and in healthy populations. Studies suggest that CCT produces near-transfer effects to cognitive functions, with less evidence for far-transfer
Brain Activity and Connectivity Differences in Reward Value Discrimination During Effort Computation in Schizophrenia
Negative symptoms in the motivational domain are strongly correlated with deficits in social and occupational functioning in schizophrenia. However, the neural substrates underlying these symptoms remain largely unknown.
Inflammatory Agents Partially Explain Associations Between Cortical Thickness, Surface Area, and Body Mass in Adolescents and Young Adulthood
Excessive body mass index (BMI) has been linked to a low-grade chronic inflammation state. Unhealthy BMI has also been related to neuroanatomical changes in adults. Research in adolescents is relatively limited and has produced conflicting results.
Associations Between Cognitive Impairment and P300 Mean Amplitudes in Individuals With Bipolar Disorder in Remission
Cognitive functions are often affected during the euthymic state of bipolar disorder (BD). In this study, we investigated the associations among cognitive complaints, objective cognitive functions, and the mean amplitudes of the P300 event-related potential (ERP) wave in individuals with BD.
Study Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial of Home-Based Computerized Executive Function Training for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is frequently associated with specific cognitive impairments, such as executive dysfunction which are related to participation and quality of life (QOL). The proposed study will examine whether a computerized executive function (EF) training programme could provide superior benefits for executive functioning, participation, QOL and brain plasticity, as compared to usual care.
Data for Functional MRI Connectivity in Transgender People With Gender Incongruence and Cisgender Individuals
We provide T2*-weighted and T1-weighted images acquired on a 3T MRI scanner obtained from 17 transwomen and 29 transmen with gender incongruence; and 22 ciswomen and 19 cismen that identified themselves to the sex assigned at birth
