OBJECTIVE: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is a reflection of medically unexplained physical symptoms that lead to distress and impairment in social and occupational functioning. SSD is phenomenologically diagnosed and its neurobiology remains unsolve...
The study of neuronal interactions is at the center of several big collaborative neuroscience projects (including the Human Connectome Project, the Blue Brain Project, and the Brainome) that attempt to obtain a detailed map of the entire brain. Under...

There is still a significant gap between our understanding of neural circuits and the behaviours they compute-i.e. the computations performed by these neural networks (Carandini 2012 , 507-509. (doi:10.1038/nn.3043)). Cellular decision-making process...
OBJECTIVE: The clinical diagnosis of corticobasal syndrome (CBS) represents a challenge for physicians and reliable diagnostic imaging biomarkers would support the diagnostic work-up. We aimed to investigate the neural signatures of CBS using multimo...

In recent years, functional brain network topological features have been widely used as classification features. Previous studies have found that network node scale differences caused by different network parcellation definitions significantly affect...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of electroencephalographic (EEG) volume conduction in different measures of functional connectivity and to characterize the EEG coupling alterations at the different stages of dementia due t...
Resting-state fMRI has shown the ability to predict task activation on an individual basis by using a general linear model (GLM) to map resting-state network features to activation z-scores. The question remains whether the relatively simplistic GLM ...
BACKGROUND: Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), including greedy layer-wise trained RBMs as part of a deep belief network (DBN), have the ability to identify spatial patterns (SPs; functional networks) in resting-state fMRI (rfMRI) data. However, t...
Several studies have already assessed brain network variations in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and healthy controls (HCs). The underlying neural system's functioning is apparently too complicated, however. Therefore, the neural time series' analy...

Neurological patients with apraxia of pantomime provide us with a unique opportunity to study the neural correlates of higher-order motor function. Previous studies using lesion-behaviour mapping methods led to inconsistent anatomical results, report...
