Using pediatric and adult data, it is demonstrated that Synth performs comparably to field map distortion correction approaches, and often outperforms them.

In the last decades, the contribution of cognitive neuroscience to film studies has been invested in at least three different lines of research. The first one has to do with film theory and history: the new attention, inspired by cognitive neuroscience, to the viewer’s brain-body, the sensorimotor basis of film cognition, and the forms of embodied simulation elicited by the cinematic experience has stimulated a profound rethinking of a relevant part of the theoretical discourse on cinema, from the very beginning of the twentieth century to the most recent reflections within cognitive film stud...

The text emphasizes the importance of brain processes beyond those in the neocortex and then explores what makes processing in neocortex different, and considers implications of findings in neuroscience for how humans conceive of themselves and practices such as embracing norms.

In this introduction, the importance of evolution is argued for by highlighting specific examples of ways that evolutionary theory can enhance neuroscience by highlighting the conservative nature of neural evolution.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in examining the effect of emotion on learning. The relationship between neuroscience and education is direct, and emotional neuroscience has a significant impact on the learning process. This study's primary objective is to examine the connection between emotional neuroscience and the learning process. Therefore, the effects of emotion on cognitive function, memory, and learning processes were reviewed. A search was conducted using electronic databases (PubMed and Scopus). To emphasize the most recent literature, articles published within the...

It is argued that viewing all intelligence as collective intelligence offers greater explanatory power and generality, and may promote fruitful cross-disciplinary exchange in the study of intelligent adaptive behavior.

Developmental psychopathology started as an intersection of fields and is now a field itself. As we contemplate the future of this field, we consider the ways in which a newer, interdisciplinary field - human developmental neuroscience - can inform, and be informed by, developmental psychopathology. To do so, we outline principles of developmental psychopathology and how they are and/or can be implemented in developmental neuroscience. In turn, we highlight how the collaboration between these fields can lead to richer models and more impactful translation. In doing so, we describe the ways in ...

How smartphone-based research methods have the potential to dramatically advance the authors' understanding of the neuroscience of mental health is discussed, which will take the form of complementing lab-based hard neuroscience research with dense sampling of cognitive tests, clinical questionnaires, passive data from smartphone sensors, and experience-sampling data as people go about their daily lives.

How super-resolving microscopy has improved the understanding of neuronal and brain function and dysfunction in the last two decades is described.

The past decade has witnessed a burgeoning interest in the intersection of neuroscience and design. Recent advancements in tools for measuring brain activity enable design researchers to investigate how brain function supports mental processes, complementing self–report and behavioral measures in exploring design cognition. With the aim of providing a preliminary understanding of how design researchers have approached neuroscience to date, we examined (1) previously explored neural research topics, (2) available tools and their contributions and limitations, and (3) the challenges of conductin...

There are differences between the way a neuroscientist and a theoretical physicist—such as the two authors of this chapter—comprehend time. For a neuroscientist, time is oriented, always pointing towards the future. We can remember the past (but not the future) and we can influence the future (but not the past). The past no longer exists, the future is open; the present is the only real moment—thus the possibility of time travel to the past is limited to fiction because one cannot travel to a moment that does not exist. For a theoretical physicist, time is more complicated: relativity does not...

When an academic paper is published in a journal that assigns a digital object identifier (DOI) to papers, this is a de facto fait accompli. Corrections or retractions are supposed to follow a specific protocol, especially in journals that claim to follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. In this paper, we highlight a case of a new, fully open access neuroscience journal that claims to be COPE‐compliant, yet has silently retracted two papers since all records, bibliometrics, and PDF files related to their existence have been deleted from the journal's website. Although thi...

The history of Danish neuroscience starts with an account of impressive contributions made at the 17th century and is considered as new major scientific developments in Denmark, which were launched before the end of the 20th century.

Several accounts have been proposed to explain di ffi culties with social interaction in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), amongst which atypical social orienting, decreased social motivation or di ffi culties with understanding the regularities driving social interaction. This study uses gaze-contingent eye-tracking to tease apart these accounts by measuring reward related behaviours in response to di ff erent social videos. Toddlers at high or low familial risk for ASD took part in this study at age 2 and were categorised at age 3 as low risk controls (LR), high-risk with no ASD diagnosis (HR-no AS...

Emerging frontiers for network neuroscience in the brain atlas era are discussed, addressing the challenges and opportunities in integrating multiple data streams for understanding the neural transitions from development to healthy function to disease.

Causal inference is a key step in many research endeavors in cognitive science and neuroscience, and particularly cognitive neuroscience. Statistical knowledge is sufficient for prediction and diagnosis, but causal knowledge is required for action and intervention. Most statistics courses and textbooks emphasize the difficulty of causal inference, focusing on the maxim that "correlation does not mean causation": there can be multiple causal possibilities, often many of them, consistent with given observed statistics. This paper focuses instead on the conceptual issues and assumptions that conf...

Amitriptyline was the second tricyclic antidepressant to appear on the market for major depressive disorder under the brand name Elavil in 1961 and helped further establish the monoamine theory to understand various mood disorders.

We review emerging research on the psychological and biological factors that underlie social group formation, cooperation, and conflict in humans. Our aim is to integrate the intergroup neuroscience literature with classic theories of group processes and intergroup relations in an effort to move beyond merely describing the effects of specific social out-groups on the brain and behavior. Instead, we emphasize the underlying psychological processes that govern intergroup interactions more generally: forming and updating our representations of “us” and “them” via social identification and functi...

The study of the brain mechanisms underpinning social behavior is currently undergoing a paradigm shift, moving its focus from single individuals to the real-time interaction among groups of individuals. Although this development opens unprecedented opportunities to study how interpersonal brain activity shapes behaviors through learning, there have been few direct connections to the rich field of learning science. Our article examines how the rapidly developing field of interpersonal neuroscience is (and could be) contributing to our understanding of social learning. To this end, we first rev...

The invention of film technologies in France at the end of the 19th century inspired neurologists and associated professionals to engage with this new medium to demonstrate their theories of the brain, the nervous system, and the mind. Beginning with the origins of cinema in Paris, this article explores how film technologies were used at La Salpêtrière, and beyond, to visualise internal mental processes, and to support the burgeoning sciences of the mind. This film-making became increasingly sophisticated by the late 1910s and early 1920s, creating innovative ways to present psychological expe...

This study employs cognitive neuroscience methods to investigate the brain underpinnings of decision-making processes. The study aims to clarify how decision-making brain networks relate to behavioral outcomes. We studied the brain activity patterns during decision-making tasks and analyzed their association with choice outcome susing a mix of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral paradigms. Our findings have significance for comprehending behavioral patterns in people as well as decision-making disorders because they shed light on the cognitive and neurological processes...

In this paper, I analyse how the emerging scientific framework of radical embodied neuroscience is different from contemporary mainstream cognitive neuroscience. To do so, I propose the notion of motif to enrich the philosophical toolkit of cognitive neuroscience. This notion can be used to characterize the guiding ideas of any given scientific framework in psychology and neuroscience. Motifs are highly unconstrained, open-ended concepts that support equally open-ended families of explanations. Different scientific frameworks-e.g., psychophysics or cognitive neuroscience-provide these motifs t...

The authors trace the field from its roots in developmental psychology and neuroscience, and highlight some of the most persuasive research findings before anticipating future directions the field may take.

A mathematical approach to formally proving that certain neural computations and representations exist based on patterns observed in an organism's behaviour, using a path integration example, where an organism's ability to search for its nest in the correct location implies representational structures isomorphic to two-dimensional coordinates under addition.

It is argued that school psychologists have the potential to fulfill this need and represent important agents of change in establishing better connections between research and practice and use the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) (2020) Domains of Practice to highlight several areas where school psychology can actively support forging connections between neuroscience and educational practice.
