The existence of abnormal connectivity patterns between resting state networks in neuropsychiatric disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), has been well established. Traditional treatment methods ASD are limited, and do not address the aberrant network structure. Using real-time fMRI neurofeedback, we directly trained three brain nodes participants with ASD, which shown to correlate symptom severity. Desired were reinforced real-time, without participants' awareness training...
Abstract Representational similarity analysis (RSA) is a computational technique that uses pairwise comparisons of stimuli to reveal their representation in higher-order space. In the context neuroimaging, mass-univariate analyses and other multivariate can provide information on what where represented but have limitations ability address how represented. Social neuroscience field particularly benefit from incorporating RSA techniques explore hypotheses regarding multidimensional data,...
This study is the largest to date examining executive function and adaptive skills in females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Its primary aim was utilize parent ratings of real‐world functioning behavior better understand whether ASD differ from males these areas everyday functioning. We compared 79 158 (ages 7–18) who were statistically matched on age, IQ, level ADHD or traits. All participants assessed using Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function (BRIEF) a subset (56 130 males)...
In Parkinson's disease (PD), neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons occurs in the midbrain, specifically targeting substantia nigra (SN), while leaving ventral tegmental area (VTA) relatively spared early phases disease. Although SN and VTA are known to be functionally dissociable healthy adults, it remains unclear how this dissociation is altered PD. To examine issue, we performed a whole-brain analysis compare functional connectivity PD adults using resting-state magnetic resonance...
Abstract The ongoing stream of sensory experience is so complex and ever‐changing that we tend to parse this at “event boundaries,” which structures strengthens memory. Memory processes undergo profound change across early childhood. Whether young children also divide their processing along event boundaries, if those boundaries relate memory, could provide important insight into the development memory systems. In Study 1, 4–7‐year‐old adults segmented a cartoon, tested Children's were more...
As their illness progresses, patients with the semantic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia (svPPA) frequently exhibit peculiar behaviors indicative altered visual attention or an increased interest in artistic endeavors. In present study, we examined changes within and between large-scale functional brain networks that may explain this behavior. We first connectivity association network, dorsal default mode network healthy young adults (n = 89) to understand typical architecture these...
Neurobiological models of receptive language have focused on the left-hemisphere perisylvian cortex with assumption that cerebellum supports peri-linguistic cognitive processes such as verbal working memory. The goal this study was to identify language-sensitive regions then map structural connectivity profile these regions. Functional imaging data and diffusion-weighted from Human Connectome Project (HCP) were analyzed. We found (a) memory, motor activity, comprehension activated partially...

Traditional treatment methods ASD are limited, and do not address the aberrant network structure. Using real-time fMRI neurofeedback, we directly trained 3 brain nodes participants with ASD, which shown to correlate symptom severity. 17 10 control were scanned over multiple sessions (123 total).

Seminal work in the 1990’s found alterations cerebellum of individuals with social disorders including autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. In healthy populations, distinct portions posterior are consistently activated fMRI studies cognition it has been hypothesized that plays an essential role cognition, particularly theory mind. Here we review lesion literature find effect cerebellar damage on is strongly linked to age insult, dramatic impairments observed after prenatal strong...
A defining characteristic of social complexity in Homo sapiens is the diversity our relationships. We build various types connections with people families, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and online communities. How do we make sense such complex systems human relationships? By using natural language processing, surveys, laboratory cognitive tasks, computational modelling on diverse modern cultures across world (n = 20,425) ancient 3,000 years history, discovered a universal...
Popular computational models of memory have posited that the formation new semantic knowledge relies on generalization from memories specific but related episodes, at least when it occurs rapidly. This view predicts a contingency between generalizations and episodic memory. However, very young children readily accumulate time their capacities are fragile. phenomenon challenges notion acquisition rapid necessarily gated by Here, we tested whether depends for individual episodes in 3 to 8...
