Bidirectional grey matter changes after complex motor skill learning

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2012
Long-term motor skill learning has been consistently shown to result in functional as well as structural changes in the adult human brain. However, the effect of short learning periods on brain structure is not well understood.

Deep neural network models reveal interplay of peripheral coding and stimulus statistics in pitch perception

Nature Communications, 2021
The neural and computational mechanisms underpinning pitch perception remain unclear. Here, the authors trained deep neural networks to estimate the fundamental frequency of sounds and found that human pitch perception depends on precise spike timing in ...

Exercise, cognition, and the adolescent brain [PDF]

Birth Defects Research, 2017
AbstractBackgroundFew adolescents engage in the recommended levels of physical activity, and daily exercise levels tend to drastically decrease throughout adolescence. Beyond physical health benefits, regular exercise may also have important implications for the teenage brain and cognitive and academic capabilities.MethodsThis narrative review examines

Associations between mental health, blood pressure and the development of hypertension

Nature Communications, 2023
Mental and cardiovascular health interact in complex ways. Here, the authors demonstrate an association of blood pressure with depressive symptoms, well-being, and emotion-related brain activity that may be relevant to the development of hypertension.

The Circadian Brain and Cognition

Annual Review of Psychology
Circadian rhythms are inherent to living organisms from single cells to humans and operate on a genetically determined cycle of approximately 24 hours. These endogenous rhythms are aligned with the external light/dark cycle of the Earth's rotation and offer the advantage of anticipating environmental changes.

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.
