Recently, the field of developmental neuroscience has aimed to uncover trajectory human brain and understand changes that occur as a function ageing. Here, we present dataset functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data covering adult lifespan includes structural MRI resting-state MRI. Four hundred ninety-four healthy adults (age range: 19-80 years; Males=187) were recruited completed two multi-modal scan sessions at Brain Imaging Center Southwest University, Chongqing, China. The goals...
Research has independently highlighted the roles of semantic memory and associative abilities in creative thinking. However, it remains unclear how these two capacities relate to each other, nor they facilitate different thinking modalities, such as verbal figural creativity. This study employed multiple cognitive tests network science methodologies shed light on relationship between them. We constructed individual-based networks assessed abilities, In line with previous studies, we found a...
Objective: Increased anxiety in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been widely noted. The purpose of this study was test whether prepandemic functional connectome predicted individual induced by pandemic. Methods: Anxiety scores from healthy undergraduate students were collected during severe and remission periods (first survey, February 22–28, 2020, N=589; second April 24 May 1, N=486). Brain imaging data baseline (daily) ratings acquired before predictive performance on examined using...
To analyse the functioning of amygdala in depression, we performed first voxel-level resting state functional-connectivity neuroimaging analysis depression voxels with all other brain, 336 patients major depressive disorder and 350 controls. Amygdala had decreased functional connectivity (FC) orbitofrontal cortex, temporal lobe areas, including pole, inferior gyrus parahippocampal gyrus. The reductions strengths FC medial cortex were correlated increases Beck Depression Inventory score...
Creative thinking is a hallmark of human cognition, which enables us to generate novel and useful ideas. Nevertheless, its emergence within the macro-scale neurocognitive circuitry remains largely unknown. Using resting-state fMRI data from two large population samples (SWU: n = 931; HCP: 1001) "travelling pattern prediction analysis", here we identified modularized functional connectivity patterns linked creative ability, concurrently explained individual variability across ordinary...
Abstract Novelty and appropriateness are two fundamental components of creativity. However, the way in which novelty separated at behavioral neural levels remains poorly understood. In present study, we aim to distinguish bases creative idea generation. alignment with established theories thinking, respectively, emphasize semantic association executive control, results indicate that relies more on associative abilities, while functions. Next, employing a connectome predictive modeling (CPM)...
Abstract Creativity is the ability to produce original and valuable ideas or behaviors. In real life, artistic scientific creativity promoted development of human civilization; however, date, no studies have systematically investigated differences in brain structures responsible for a large sample. Using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), this study identified regional gray matter volume (GMV) across between (assessed by Creative Achievement Questionnaire) 356 young, healthy subjects. The...
Abstract Advances in graph‐theoretic models of networks have made it possible to investigate the topological properties human brain across time and space. Brain flexibility is defined as frequency with which regions switch between different functional modules over has been shown correlate higher‐order cognitive functions. Need for cognition (NFC) refers a personality trait engage enjoy effortful endeavors usually positive effect on diverse activities (e.g., creativity), may also be closely...
Abstract The most widely used measurements of mindfulness are the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). However, controversies exist regarding application these scales. Additionally, neural mechanisms dispositional havebecome a topic interest. In current study, we surface-based methodology to identify brain regions underlying individual differences in large non-clinical sampleand compared two instruments for measuring mindfulness. results...
Creativity is hypothesized to arise from a mental state which balances spontaneous thought and cognitive control, corresponding functional connectivity between the brain's Default Mode (DMN) Executive Control (ECN) Networks. Here, we conduct large-scale, multi-center examination of this hypothesis. Employing meta-analytic network neuroscience approach, analyze resting-state fMRI creative task performance across 10 independent samples Austria, Canada, China, Japan, United States (N =...
Although many studies have explored the neural mechanism of feeling stress, to date, no effort has been made establish a model capable predicting stress at individual level using resting-state functional connectome. individuals may be confronted with multidimensional stressors during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, their appraisal impact and severity these events might vary. In this study, connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) leave-one-out cross-validation was conducted...
Creativity is typically operationalized as divergent thinking (DT) ability, a form of higher-order cognition which relies on memory, attention, and other component processes. Despite recent advances, creativity neuroscience lacks unified framework to model its complexity across neural, genetic, cognitive scales. Using task-based fMRI from two independent samples MVPA, we identified neural pattern that predicts DT, validated through decoding, genetic data, large-scale resting-state fMRI. Our...
On the basis of confluence theories creativity, creative ideation depends on forging links between existing memory traces. The synergy and thought is well-established, but neural dynamics integration for creativity are understudied. Here, we extended traditional paradigm. Participants read, recalled narratives, wrote endings. Computational linguistic analysis showed that those integrating more noncentral events—those less semantically connected to other events within narrative—wrote original...
Abstract Memory suppression (MS) is essential for mental well-being. However, no studies have explored how intrinsic resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) predicts this ability. Here, we adopted the connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) based on fMRI data to investigate whether and rs-FC profiles in predefined brain networks (the frontoparietal control or FPCN) can predict MS healthy individuals with 497 participants. The ability was assessed by MS-induced forgetting during...
Abstract Creativity, the ability to generate original and valuable products, has long been linked semantic retrieval processes. The associative theory of creativity posits flexible as an important basis for creative idea generation. However, there is insufficient research on how memory acts activities. This study aimed capture different dynamic aspects processes examine behavioral neural associations between flexibility creativity. We developed 5 metrics quantify based previous studies,...
Creativity is critical to economic growth and societal progress. However, assessing creativity using objective approaches remains a challenge. To address this, we employ three indicators based on semantic distance quantify the originality appropriateness of by analyzing long texts in story-writing experiment. Global local distances were generated separately computing mean whole text between adjacent sentences, they positively correlated with story writing. cohesion was rationality writing,...
Little is known about the association between emotional intelligence (EI) and trait creativity (TC), brain structural bases which involves. This study investigated neuroanatomical basis of EI TC measured by Schutte self-report scale Williams aptitude test. First, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis was used to explore structures closely related in a large young sample (n = 213). The results showed that positively correlated with regional gray matter volume (rGMV) right orbitofrontal...
