Analysis of Cortical Neurophysiological Characteristics of ALS and Its Potential as a Biomarker Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects adults, characterized by a gradual loss of the integrity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral motor system. Although clinical and genetic studies have reveale...
Background Introduction A notable characteristic of human language processing is our ability to combine stored lexical elements, i.e., words, as needed to flexibly generate or alter current meanings. At the core of this process is how we construct semantic representations in real time. Although research on the generation of syntactic structures has...
Phase-Dependent Language Perception in Neural Oscillations: An Interdisciplinary Study Report Background During speech perception, the phase of neural oscillations plays a crucial role in the separation of neural representations and perceptual decisions. However, the specific phase-encoding mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to reveal how p...
Neural Representation of Perspective Shapes and the Effect of Attention: Evidence from fMRI and MEG Introduction We always perceive objects from a specific perspective. In many cases, the shape we rely on when observing an object, the perspective shape, differs from its objective shape, the physical shape in the real world. For instance, a coin rot...
Reactivation Strength in Memory is Modulated by Graph Distance in Cognitive Maps Research Background Memory formation and retrieval are among the crucial areas of research in neuroscience. Classic memory theories propose that memory depends on three distinct stages: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. New episodic memories are formed through en...
Research Background Neural oscillations are fundamental components of brain function, coordinating electrophysiological activities within and between neural assemblies, which is crucial for cognitive and behavioral processes. During children’s growth, the development of these neural processes is not only an important neuroscience issue but also can...
