Lack of effects of eight-week left dorsolateral prefrontal theta burst stimulation on white matter macro/microstructure and connection in autism
Whether brain stimulation could modulate brain structure in autism remains unknown. This study explored the impact of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLP...

Open AccessUnderstanding the links between self-concept, sociocultural deviance and mental health problems in pathological social withdrawal
Pathological social withdrawal (PSW), an extreme form of socially avoidant behaviour, is emerging as a global public health issue. Prior PSW theories implicate personal values that deviate from sociocultural n...

Open AccessHemispheric lateralization of semantic processing before and after aripiprazole treatment in first-episode psychosis or ultra-high risk state
Whether aberrant language-related lateralization can be improved after antipsychotic treatment in drug-free patients with first-episode psychosis or ultra-high risk state is little known. We aimed to investiga...

Open AccessWhite matter microstructural and morphometric alterations in autism: implications for intellectual capabilities
Neuroimage literature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a moderate-to-high risk of bias, partially because those combined with intellectual impairment (II) and/or minimally verbal (MV) status are generally...

Open AccessDissociation between the processing of humorous and monetary rewards in the ‘motivation’ and ‘hedonic’ brains
Humor elicits feelings of amusement and can be thought of as a social reward. We identified distinct mesolimbic reward system (MRS) processing patterns for monetary and humorous rewards. During both the reward...

The Processing of Coreference for Reduced Expressions in Discourse Integration
Three reading-time experiments in Chinese are reported that test contrasting views of how pronominal coreference is achieved. On the one hand, studies of reading time and eye tracking suggest that reduced expr...
