A baseline or control state is fundamental to the understanding of most complex systems. Defining a baseline state in the human brain, arguably our most complex system, poses a particular challenge. Many suspect that lef...

Functional imaging studies have shown that certain brain regions, including posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC), consistently show greater activity during resting states than dur...

An MRI time course of 512 echo-planar images (EPI) in resting human brain obtained every 250 ms reveals fluctuations in signal intensity in each pixel that have a physiologic origin. Regions of the sensorimotor cortex th...

During performance of attention-demanding cognitive tasks, certain regions of the brain routinely increase activity, whereas others routinely decrease activity. In this study, we investigate the extent to which this task...

Edited by Gualberto Buela-Casal, this book features a series of interviews with leading psychologists, mostly clinicians, about the major current challenges and perspectives of Clinical Psychology worldwide.Among the int...

Current knowledge of the nervous system, particularly the brain, is the result of technological advances and the collective effort of many scientists. However, it was Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) who played a cr...

"Modifying neural activity is a substantial goal in neuroscience that facilitates the understanding of brain functions and the development of medical therapies. Neurobiological models play an essential role, contributing...

This paper aims to bridge the gap between neurophysiology and automatic control methodologies by redefining the Wilson-Cowan (WC) model as a control-oriented linear parameter-varying (LPV) system. A novel approach is pre...

"Pattern classification in electroencephalography (EEG) signals is an important problem in biomedical engineering since it enables the detection of brain activity, in particular the early detection of epileptic seizures....

"Having a good sleep quality is essential for a healthy life. Lack or poor quality of sleep can negatively affect various brain functions such as emotional processing and memory acquisition and consolidation. In addition...

The prospect of modifying neural activity in a principled way, could facilitate the understanding of brain functions and the development of medical treatments. To predict the dynamics that underlie the different brain ac...

"Recognition memory can rely on three components: “what”, “where” and “when”. Recently we demonstrated that the anterior retrosplenial cortex (aRSC), like the perirhinal cortex (PRH) and unlike the hippocampu...

"How does the brain guide our actions? This is a complex issue, where the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a crucial role. The mPFC is essential for cognitive flexibility and decision making. These functions are rel...

Epilepsy is a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting millions of patients worldwide. Retrospective studies in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients have shown a high incidence o...

Despite of the accumulation of scientific evidence confirming the health consequences of smoking and the new paradigm of smoking as a disease where nicotine is the drug that modifies the functional and morphological char...

Thirty years of brain imaging research has converged to define the brain's default network-a novel and only recently appreciated brain system that participates in internal modes of cognition. Here we synthesize past obse...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most important medical imaging techniques for the investigating diseases of the human brain. A novel method for automatic segmentation Magnetic resonance brain image framework is ...
