Open AccessLanguage and sensory characteristics are reflected in voice-evoked responses in low birth weight children
Children born with very low birth weight (VLBW) are at higher risk for cognitive impairment, including language deficits and sensorimotor difficulties. Voice-evoked response (P1m), which has been suggested as ...

Open AccessPreterm toddlers have low nighttime sleep quality and high daytime activity
A number of studies have been made on the sleep characteristics of children born preterm in an attempt to develop methods to address the sleep problems commonly observed among such children. However, the repor...

Expression of actin- and oxidative phosphorylation-related transcripts across the cortical visuospatial working memory network in unaffected comparison and schizophrenia subjects
Visuospatial working memory (vsWM), which is impaired in schizophrenia (SZ), is mediated by a distributed cortical network. In one node of this network, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), altered expr...

Open AccessDetection of the 40 Hz auditory steady-state response with optically pumped magnetometers
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a functional neuroimaging technique that noninvasively detects the brain magnetic field from neuronal activations. Conventional MEG measures brain signals using superconducting ...

Open AccessEffect of steady-state response versus excitatory/inhibitory balance on spiking synchronization in neural networks with log-normal synaptic weight distribution
Synchronization of neural activity, especially at the gamma band, contributes to perceptual functions. In several psychiatric disorders, deficits of perceptual functions are reflected in synchronization abnorm...

Open AccessSleep maturation influences cognitive development of preterm toddlers
Our recent study on full-term toddlers demonstrated that daytime nap properties affect the distribution ratio between nap and nighttime sleep duration in total sleep time but does not affect the overall total ...

Open AccessDecreased grey matter volumes in unaffected mothers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder reflect the broader autism endophenotype
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with an early onset and a strong genetic origin. Unaffected relatives may present similar but subthreshold characteristics of ASD. This broader a...

Open AccessIdentification of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder based on the complexity and symmetricity of pupil diameter
Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently leads to psychological/social dysfunction if unaddressed. Identifying a reliable biomarker would assist the diagnosis of adult ADHD and ensure t...

Open AccessDaytime nap and nighttime breastfeeding are associated with toddlers’ nighttime sleep
The purpose of the present study is to examine the association between toddlers' sleep arrangements and their nighttime sleep duration and other sleep variables. For this investigation, we performed a study in...

Dynamical Characteristics of State Transition Defined by Neural Activity of Phase in Alzheimer’s Disease
In recent findings of dynamical functional connectivity (dFC) as the degree of variability for functional connectivity, the dFC reflects the abilities and deficits in cognitive functions. Recently, we introduc...

Open AccessMarkers for the central serotonin system correlate to verbal ability and paralinguistic social voice processing in autism spectrum disorder
Impairment in verbal communication abilities has been reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Dysfunction of the serotonergic system has also been reported in ASD. However, it is still unknown how the brai...

Open AccessSustaining temporal attention prevents habit expression during operant learning in rats
As repeated operant performance promotes the transition from goal-directed action to habitual response, it appears that action-outcome contingency learning precedes and is necessary for the transition. Meanwhi...

Open AccessSpontaneous MEG activity of the cerebral cortex during eyes closed and open discriminates Alzheimer’s disease from cognitively normal older adults
This study aimed to examine whether magnetoencephalography (MEG) is useful to detect early stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We analyzed MEG data from the early stage AD group (n = 20; 6 with mild cognitive impa...
