Assigning a social status from face adornments: an fMRI study
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02786-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor at least 150,000 years, the human body has been culturally modified by the wearing of personal ornaments and probably by painting with red pigment. The present study used functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore the brain networks involved in attributing social status from face decorations. Results showed the fusiform gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, and salience network were involved in social encoding, categorization, and evaluation. The hippocampus and parahippocampus were activated due to the memory and associative s...

Comparative MRI analysis of the forebrain of three sauropsida models
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02788-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study of the brain by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows to obtain detailed anatomical images, useful to describe specific encephalic structures and to analyze possible variabilities. It is widely used in clinical practice and is becoming increasingly used in veterinary medicine, even in exotic animals; however, despite its potential, its use in comparative neuroanatomy studies is still incipient. It is a technology that in recent years has significantly improved anatomical resolution, together with the fact that it is ...

White matter associations with spelling performance
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Mar 25. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02775-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiple neurocognitive processes are involved in the highly complex task of producing written words. Yet, little is known about the neural pathways that support spelling in healthy adults. We assessed the associations between performance on a difficult spelling-to-dictation task and microstructural properties of language-related white matter pathways, in a sample of 73 native English-speaking neurotypical adults. Participants completed a diffusion magnetic resonance imaging scan and a cognitive assessment battery. Using constra...

The effect of high-frequency rTMS over left DLPFC and fluid abilities on goal neglect
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Mar 22. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02770-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGoal neglect refers to when an aspect of task instructions is not utilised due to increased competition between goal representations, an attentional limit theoretically linked to working memory. In an attempt to alleviate goal neglect and to investigate the association between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)-supported working memory and goal neglect, we used high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to the left DLPFC whilst participants completed the letter-monitoring task, a measure of goal neglect, and...
