Socioeconomic disparities harm social cognition

Socioeconomic disparities impact neurocognitive functions. Yet, despite decades of research, the relationship between socioeconomic disparities and social cognition (the mental processes that allow us to understand and interact with others) remains controversial. Fendinger and colleagues [1] examine evidence spanning from psychology to the neurosciences and conclude that lower social class is consistently associated with improved […]

The past, present and future of neuroscience data sharing: a perspective on the state of practices and infrastructure for FAIR

Neuroscience has made significant strides over the past decade in moving from a largely closed science characterized by anemic data sharing, to a largely open science where the amount of publicly available neuroscience data has increased dramatically. While this increase is driven in significant part by large prospective data sharing studies, we are starting to […]

The hemodynamic response function as a type 2 diabetes biomarker: a data-driven approach

IntroductionThere is a need to better understand the neurophysiological changes associated with early brain dysfunction in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) before vascular or structural lesions. Our aim was to use a novel unbiased data-driven approach to detect and characterize hemodynamic response function (HRF) alterations in T2DM patients, focusing on their potential as biomarkers.MethodsWe meshed […]
