In younger adults, arousal amplifies attentional focus to the most salient or goal-relevant
information while suppressing other information. A computational model of how the locus …

Since GABAA-mediated intracortical inhibition has been shown to underlie plastic changes
throughout the lifespan from development to aging, here, the aging motor system was used …

Brain stimulation approaches are important to gain causal mechanistic insights into the
relevance of functional brain regions and/or neurophysiological systems for human cognitive …

Objective Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive tool used for studying
cortical excitability and plasticity in the human brain. This review aims to quantitatively …

Recent neuroimaging studies using multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) show that
distributed patterns of brain activation elicited by different visual stimuli are less distinctive in …

Short trinucleotide expansions at the FMR1 locus are associated with the late-onset
condition fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), which shows very different …

Multiscale Entropy (MSE) is used to characterize the temporal irregularity of neural time
series patterns. Due to its' presumed sensitivity to non-linear signal characteristics, MSE is …

The neocortex contains two neuron types, excitatory (glutamatergic) pyramidal cells and
inhibitory nonpyramidal (GABAergic) cells. GABAergic, inhibitory interneurons are …

The primary visual cortex (V1) is the first cortical area that processes visual information.
Normal development of V1 depends on binocular vision during the critical period, and age …

Combination antiretroviral therapies have revolutionized the treatment of HIV infection, and
many patients now enjoy a lifespan equal to that of the general population. However, HIV …
