ObjectiveMoving beyond the traditional focus on social media frequency, this study examines the cross-sectional association between perceived social media interaction quality and loneliness among older adults, and the…
This study aims to explore the impact of transformational basketball coaching on athletes' technical-tactical performance and its efficiency ratio. A quantitative research design integrating questionnaire surveys and…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) shows high variability in brain structure and behavior, complicating identification of biologically meaningful subtypes and their neuroanatomical and molecular bases. To address this, we…
Psychopathy is a personality construct characterized by emotional detachment, impulsivity, and antisocial tendencies. Despite a clinical prevalence of 1%, the biological underpinnings of psychopathy remain poorly…
Orexin receptor 2 (OX2R)-selective agonists have potent wake-promoting effects and could be a promising treatment for sleep/wake disorders, such as narcolepsy type 1. However, OX2R agonists may cause cardiovascular (CV)…
Excitation-Inhibition (E/I) balance is a system-level principle governing healthy neuronal information processing. Its disruption has been implicated in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS), yet in vivo…
The insular cortex integrates interoceptive and exteroceptive information to mediate bodily homeostasis, emotion and learning. However, the cellular and circuit substrates governing insular functions are poorly…
Denervated skeletal-muscle atrophy poses a significant challenge in peripheral neurosurgery, with limited recovery of muscle function affecting patients’ quality of life. This study explores the role of the immune…
Fast, highly constrained sensorimotor acts require rapid coordination of distributed cortical systems on subsecond timescales. Here, we used source-resolved magnetoencephalography to characterise time-locked cortical…
Most mammalian offspring are born helpless and depend on sustained parental care for survival, making caregiving one of the most conserved and essential behavioural repertoires in mammals. Yet infant-directed behaviours…
One-shot learningâthe ability to form memories after a single, brief salient eventâis essential for behavioral flexibility in a dynamic world. However, how one-shot learning unfolds in the brain and whether it relies…
Chronically implanted brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for speech have demonstrated restoration of speech communication for people with severe motor impairment. Yet maintaining stable long-term performance remains a…
Parentâoffspring interactions play an important role in offspring survival. Although there is evidence that these interactions are predominantly guided by the right hemisphere, little is still known about the factors…
Improving behavioral performance relies on the ability to associate decisions with their positive and negative outcomes. Although neurons that associate actions with their consequences have been identified across…
Through a pre-registered correlational study (Nâ=â540, 273 vegetarians and 267 vegan), we aimed at integrating the social psychological construct of collective narcissism âthe belief that the ingroup is superior…
Choking under evaluative pressure is often described in sport, yet its within-session neural and behavioural correlates in youth athletes remain poorly characterised. In this exploratory, fixed-order study we asked…
Extracurricular activities, particularly sports and music, are associated with motor coordination and thus critical for childrenâs physical and cognitive development. This study examined the relationships of age…
Cognitive biases are a known source of diagnostic error in healthcare, but their influence on rehabilitation assessments remains understudied. This study examined sequence biasâa novel form of contextual bias in which…
Depressive symptoms during and after pregnancy are a major concern in perinatal mental health, with implications for both mother and child. Digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a scalable and accessible…
Universities are dynamic ecosystems in which fostering a sense of belonging and promoting studentsâ well-being can be particularly challenging. In an era marked by increasing anxiety and social isolation, a key…
Anxiety disorders are prevalent worldwide, yet access to evidence-based interventions remains limited. Digital worry-log interventions are scalable, but unguided use may limit engagement and efficacy, while…
Ideological self-placement often functions as a heuristic in public discourse to infer individualsâ deeper values and issue positions. However, research suggests that the relationship among ideological self-placement…
Like a hammer that becomes an extension of the hand, or a car that becomes an extension of the driverâs body, smartphones have become extensions of people's cognitive and social selves. However, unlike these…
Mental health in Mauritius is still treated as an individual concern – handled in consulting rooms, or within the walls of our one psychiatric hospital. This is Mauritius’s greatest failure on mental ...
Rural micro-vacations are expanding in China, yet their behavioral mechanisms remain insufficiently specified. This study advances a framework linking motivation, cognition, and intention that integrates pushâpull…
Postsynaptic scaffolding protein SAP90/PSD95-associated protein 3 (SAPAP3) modulates cortico-striatal signalling and regulates the maintenance of synaptic structure. Notably, SAPAP3 defects have been reported in several…
MRI foundation models (FMs) have shown potential for improving performance of neuroimaging tasks, but their value specifically in Glioblastoma overall survival risk prediction remains unclear. In this study, we explored…
Acute noise exposure induces hearing threshold shifts and potentially affects the amygdala, yet the associated metabolic and vascular alterations remain unclear. This study examined the immediate and short-term effects…
