Cover Story: Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed important aspects of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of migraines that suggest abnormal brain energy metabolism and altered functional connectivity. This first-of-its-kind study aimed to investigate the whole migraine cycle using 1H-MRS and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A migraine patient underwent 1H-MRS and resting-state fMRI for 21 consecutive days, regardless of whether he was in an interictal or ictal state. Metabolite ratios were assessed and compared to the intrinsic connectivity of subcortical brain areas. View this paper

Models on L3/Ln acquisition differ with respect to how they envisage degree (holistic vs. selective transfer of the L1, L2 or both) and/or timing (initial stages vs. development) of how the influence of source languages unfolds. This study uses EEG/E...

Superordinate Categorization Based on the Perceptual Organization of Parts

  • Henning Tiedemann,
  • Filipp Schmidt and
  • Roland W. Fleming

Plants and animals are among the most behaviorally significant superordinate categories for humans. Visually assigning objects to such high-level classes is challenging because highly distinct items must be grouped together (e.g., chimpanzees and gec...
