How the human brain flexibly adapts social perception by recategorizing out-group (them) to in-group (us) remains unclear. Using functional MRI in Singapore's multicultural population, we investigated how priming subordinate (ethnic) versus …
This meta-analysis examined systematic variation in neural activation during in-group and out-group categorization. Using activation likelihood estimation and PRISMA-guided methods, the study analyzed task-fMRI studies of healthy adults that reported …
Social and environmental influences are important for learning. However, the influence of reward and competition during social learning is less understood. The literature suggests that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is implicated in hot executive …
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 …
Verbal working memory involves holding verbal information in short-term memory. Two cerebro-cerebellar networks for verbal working memory have been proposed: (1) fronto-superior cerebellar network associated with controlling and updating …
Our brain changes in terms of mental functions and its structures as we age. In this study, we examined age-related differences in brain functions while accounting for changes seen in the brain structures in terms of neuronal density and volume. …
In this study, we examined the relationship between perceived stress and brain functioning in women and men. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), brain connectivity of 22 women and 24 men were imaged when they completed two tasks in a …
Some cognitive functions, such as language processing, utilize one side of the brain more than the other. This pattern of brain organization is known as brain lateralization. However, studies have suggested that brain lateralization is less prominent …
Previous studies have suggested cerebro-cerebellar circuitry in working memory. The present fMRI study aims to distinguish differential cerebro-cerebellar activation patterns in verbal and visual working memory, and employs a quantitative analysis to …
Aging has been associated with decreased intra- and internetwork connectivity during rest and task. Recent work has shown the influential role of the salience network over the default mode network (DMN) and executive control network (ECN). This study …
