Individual differences in cognitive performance and brain structure in typically developing children
Individual differences in cognitive patterning is informative in understanding one's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. However, little is known about the difference in brain structures relating to individual differences in cognitive patterning. In this

There have been numerous detractors and supporters relating to attempts to merge the neurosciences and the knowledge base of related contributing disciplines with the field of education. Some have argued that this is a “bridge too far”.

Developmental trajectory of Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system governs its structural organization [PDF]
A central problem of neuroscience involves uncovering the principles governing the organization of nervous systems which ensure robustness in brain development. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans provides us with a model organism for studying this question.

Development during adolescence of the neural processing of social emotion [PDF]
In this fMRI study, we investigated the development between adolescence and adulthood of the neural processing of social emotions. Unlike basic emotions (such as disgust and fear), social emotions (such as guilt and embarrassment) require the ...

The feasibility of artificial consciousness through the lens of neuroscience [PDF]
Interactions with large language models have led to the suggestion that these models may soon be conscious. From the perspective of neuroscience, this position is difficult to defend. For one, the inputs to large language models lack the embodied, embedded information content characteristic of our sensory contact with the world around us. Secondly, the

Critical appraisal on mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
Amyloid plaques deposit on neurons in case of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondria play a vital role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to formation of mPTP, alteration of complexes 1,3 and 4, deficits in bioenergetics with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis. Abstract It is widely recognized that Alzheimer's disease (

The curious case of developmental BERTology: On sparsity, transfer learning, generalization and the brain [PDF]
In this essay, we explore a point of intersection between deep learning and neuroscience, through the lens of large language models, transfer learning and network compression. Just like perceptual and cognitive neurophysiology has inspired effective deep neural network architectures which in turn make a useful model for understanding the brain, here we

Exploring face perception in disorders of development: evidence from Williams syndrome and autism [PDF]
Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) and autism are characterized by different social phenotypes but have been said to show similar atypicalities of face-processing style.

Computational Developmental Neuroscience: Capturing Developmental Trajectories From Genes to Cognition [PDF]
Over the course of development, the central nervous system grows into a complex set of structures that ultimately controls our experiences and interactions with the world. To understand brain development, researchers must disentangle the contributions of genes, neural activity, synaptic plasticity, and intrinsic noise in guiding the growth of axons ...
