Information-Theoretic Quantification of Dedifferentiation in the Aging of Motor and Executive Functions
Using information-theoretic measures, this study quantifies how neural specificity (differentiation) of motor and executive functions declines with age — shedding light on the mechanisms of cognitive aging.
Neural Mechanisms of Inhibitory Response in a Battlefield Scenario: A Simultaneous fMRI-EEG Study
Using a novel, motivationally engaging battlefield scenario and simultaneous fMRI-EEG, this study identifies the neural circuits supporting successful response inhibition, revealing distinct contributions of prefrontal, parietal, and cingulate regions to inhibitory control under real-world-like conditions.
Dissociable Neural Mechanisms for Perceived Heaviness and Predicted Weight During Lifting: An fMRI Investigation of the Size-Weight Illusion
Using fMRI, we show that the perception of object weight and the prediction of force required for lifting are supported by distinct neural circuits — providing key evidence for separate visuomotor and perceptual streams.
