Hierarchical relations drive state changes in environments. The brain may encode these through Bayesian inference. Neural correlates of Hierarchical Bayesian Inference (HBI) are not well studied. We studied HBI across ages in a probabilistic task …
Hierarchical causal relations underlie state changes in dynamic environments. These relations could beencoded in the brain hierarchically and optimal inference occurs via Bayesian estimation of the context ofincoming sensory evidence. The neural …
Introduction:
Structural learning integrates 'Learning to learn' approach of individual's abilities to extract underlying pattern and develop rules to adapt new changes through cognitive flexibility. Homeostatic plasticity in neuronal circuits is …
Previous research has found that good health is tied to flexibility in multiple bodily systems, with reduced variability signalling poor health. Depression and anxiety are found to correlate with lower heart rate variability (HRV), suggesting reduced …
The understanding of false belief, others’ beliefs can differ from reality, is essential in Theory of Mind, which has been shown to correlate with reading experiences, especially reading literary fiction, yet little research has investigated the …
Autonomic variations such as changes in heart rate variability (HRV) have been found in both clinical and non-clinical populations of either depression or anxiety and are maintained across the lifespan. Areas in the brain such as the cingulate …
The cingulate cortex (CC) is at the centre of networks such as the default mode network, salience network, and the dorsal attention networks that are implicated in cognitive ageing. Lower heart rate variability has also been linked to ageing and …
Neuroimaging studies have proposed that reading operates via two routes in the cerebral cortex; a sub-lexical dorsal route which maps written letters to corresponding sounds, and a lexical ventral route where corresponding phonological forms are …
Dancing engages a diverse network of brain regions that support neurobehavioral processes that are associated with cognitive functions. In this study, we proposed that dance intervention would confer cognitive benefits among older adults with mild …
Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) has been shown to modulate cortical inhibition and excitability, with previous transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies altered responses in older adults. The combination of TMS and …
