BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System provides three-dimensional images. However, no research has yet been done on the relationship between the system's operation and spatial cognitive ability. This study focuses on th...

Identifying early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) at a very early stage remains challenging. To assess the diagnostic predictive value of multiple types of data at the emergence of early-onset first-episode psychosis (FEP), various suppo...
This study investigates the acquisition of integrated object manipulation and categorization abilities through a series of experiments in which human adults and artificial agents were asked to learn to manipulate two-dimensional objects that varied i...
Structural neuroimaging studies of patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) typically present two findings: 1-volume reduction of subcortical gray matter structures, and 2-abnormalities of cortical thickness. The general trend has been to obse...
In natural and artificial neural networks, modularity and distributed structure afford complementary but competing benefits. The former allows for hierarchical representations that can flexibly recombine modules to address novel problems, whereas the...

In the field of elder care, many countries are facing a shortage of nursing staff, which presents a significant challenge that necessitates innovative solutions to support older individuals in nursing homes. This article explores a use case involving...
The shape of the brain's white matter connections is relatively unexplored in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) tractography analysis. While it is known that tract shape varies in populations and across the human lifespan, it is unknown if ...
Recent advances in theoretical biology suggest that key definitions of basal cognition and sentient behavior may arise as emergent properties of in vitro cell cultures and neuronal networks. Such neuronal networks reorganize activity to demonstrate s...

BACKGROUND: Integrating non-invasive measures to estimate abnormal amyloid beta accumulation (Aβ+) is key to developing a screening tool for preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). The predictive capability of standard neuropsychological tests in estim...
Addictive behaviour is shaped by the dynamic interaction of implicit, bottom-up and explicit, top-down cognitive processes. In alcohol use disorder (AUD), implicit alcohol-related associations have been shown to predict increased subsequent alcohol c...
