Abstract: OBJECTIVE Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) enhance vasodilation. We investigated the effects of PDE5I on cerebral hemodynamics during cognitive tasks using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). METHODS This study used a crossover design. Twelve cognitively healthy men participants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/adma.201903095
Abstract: Mimicking brain-like functionality with an electronic device is an essential step toward the design of future technologies including artificial visual and memory applications. Here, a proof-of-concept all-oxide-based (NiO/TiO2 ) highly transparent (54%) heterostructure is proposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.886
Abstract: Categorization is a fundamental cognitive process, whereby the brain assigns meaning to sensory stimuli. Previous studies have found category representations in prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex (PPC). However, these higher‐order areas lack the fine‐scale… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cne.24986
Abstract: The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is important for decision‐making as it integrates motor plans with affective and contextual limbic information. Disruptions in these networks have been observed in depression, bipolar disorder, and post‐traumatic stress disorder.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cne.25419
Abstract: The orbital cortex (ORB) of the rat consists of five divisions: the medial (MO), ventral (VO), ventrolateral (VLO), lateral (LO), and dorsolateral (DLO) orbital cortices. No previous report has comprehensively examined and compared projections from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dneu.22893
Abstract: Humans had acquired a tremendously enlarged cerebral cortex containing a huge quantity and variety of cells during evolution. Such evolutionary uniqueness offers a neural basis of our cognitive innovation and human‐specific features of neurodevelopmental and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12316
Abstract: Intractable epilepsy is commonly associated with developmental cortical malformations. Using the rodent freeze lesion model, we have sought the underlying circuit abnormalities contributing to the epileptiform activity that occurs in association with the structural pathology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23560
Abstract: Several previous imaging studies have aimed at identifying the neural basis of visual food cue processing in humans. However, there is little consistency of the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) results across studies. Here, we… read more here.
