Resting state fMRI is a tool for studying the functional organization of the human brain. Ongoing brain activity at “rest” is highly dynamic, but procedures such as correlation or independent component analysis treat ...

Ghrelin is a stomach-derived peptide hormone that acts in the brain to regulate many important physiological functions. Ghrelin receptor, named the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), is present in many brain areas ...

The scientific study of human consciousness has greatly benefited from the development of non-invasive brain imaging methods. The quest to identify the neural correlates of consciousness combined psychophysical experimentation ...

In this paper, we combine high-performance com- puting science with computational neuroscience methods to show how to speed-up cutting edge methods for mapping and evaluation of the large-scale network of brain connections. ...

Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is an obstetric complication associated with an impaired gas exchange. This health problem continues to be a determinant of neonatal mortality and neurodevelopmental disorders. Palmitoylethanolamide ...

Abstract: The study of rapid changes in brain dynamics and functional connectivity (FC) is of increasing interest in neuroimaging. Brain states departing from normal waking consciousness are expected to be accompanied by ...
