Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been explored as an intervention in typical amnestic Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, its effects on episodic and associative memory in atypical forms of AD are less known. Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is primarily characterized by visuospatial and visuoperceptual symptoms, although significant episodic memory deficits are often...
Individual differences in arousal experience have been linked to differences in resting-state salience network connectivity strength. In this study, we investigated how adding task-related skin conductance responses (SCR), a measure of sympathetic autonomic nervous system activity, can predict additional variance in arousal experience. Thirty-nine young adults rated their subjective experience...
There has been a growing interest in understanding how contemplative practices affect brain functional organization. However, most studies have restricted their exploration to predefined networks. Furthermore, scientific comparisons of different contemplative traditions are largely lacking. Here we explored differences in whole brain resting state functional connectivity between experienced...
Numerous studies have documented the normal age-related decline of neural structure, function, and cognitive performance. Preliminary evidence suggests that meditation may reduce decline in specific cognitive domains and in brain structure. Here we extended this research by investigating the relation between age and fluid intelligence and resting state brain functional network architecture...
