Neural responses during natural vision are action-timed rather than locked to the onset of stable foveal input

Visual processing is traditionally studied using static viewing paradigms in which researchers analyse brain responses to the onsets of a sequence of randomly selected stimuli. Translating this “stimulus onset” approach to active vision paradigms that allow for free eye-movements...

Multiscale characterization of cortical signatures in positive and negative schizotypy:a worldwide ENIGMA study

Positive and negative schizotypy reflect distinct patterns of subclinical traits in the general population associated with neurodevelopmental and schizophrenia-spectrum pathologies. Yet, a comprehensive characterization of the unique and shared neuroanatomical signatures of these...

Deep learning aging marker from retinal images unveils sex-specific clinical and genetic signatures

Abstract Retinal fundus images offer a non-invasive window into systemic aging. Here, we fine-tune a foundation model (RETFound) to predict chronological age from color fundus images in 71,343 participants from the UK Biobank, achieving a mean absolute error of 2.85 years. The re...
