Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of multi-task exercise on delta power during sleep. Fifteen older female adults participated in both multi-task and single-task exercises at low and moderate-to-vigorous intensities for 30 min each. Sleep architecture was recorded using polysomnography to compare the amount of delta power during sleep. Additionally, cortical hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortex were monitored using functional near-infrared spectroscopy before and after each exercise session. Low-intensity multi-task exercise increased cortical activation in the right and left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and frontopolar area, which positively correlated with the increase in delta power. This study provides the first experimental evidence that low-intensity multi-task exercise enhances cortical activation in the prefrontal cortex of older female adults, leading to an increase in delta power during sleep.

Recently, the widely used beamformer imaging technique has greatly improved spatial accuracy of MEG in the field of source reconstruction of neuroimaging. The spatial resolution of the source reconstruction using beamformer imaging technique was explored in the present study. The spatial accuracy of a beamformer reconstruction depends on accurate estimation of the data covariance matrix and lead field. In practical measurements, many sensor calibration errors including the gain error, crosstalk and angular error of the sensitive axis of OPMs due to for example, the low frequency magnetic field drift will distort the measured data as well as the forward model and thus reduce spatial resolution. The theory of OPM calibration errors was first provided based on the Bloch equations. The calibration errors are then quantified using the self-developed OPM array. And an analytical relationship between the Frobenius norm of the covariance matrix error and gain error, crosstalk was derived. The relationship between point-spread function (PSF) and the forward model error caused by the angular error of sensitive axis was analyzed. Finally, the effects of calibration errors on spatial resolution of OPM-MEG were investigated using simulations of two dipoles with orthogonal signals at the source level based on realistic head models. We find the presence of calibration errors will decrease the spatial resolution of beamformer reconstruction. And this decrease will become more severe as the signal-to-noise ratio increases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19299,"journal":{"name":"NeuroImage","volume":"310 ","pages":"Article 121078"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143523941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this research gap by bridging recent advances in cognitive neuroscience data, affective computing, and cognitive data science frameworks. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning, prefrontal neural data were collected during social interactions involving 84 participants (i.e., 42 dyads) aged 18–35 years. Wavelet transform coherence was used to assess interpersonal neural synchrony between participants. We used manual transcription of dialogues and automated methods to codify transcriptions as emotional levels and syntactic/semantic networks.

In this work, we aimed to elucidate age-related ATT and ATT-corrected CBF patterns. We examined 131 healthy subjects aged 19 to 82 years old using two pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) MRI scans: one to measure fast low-resolution ATT maps with five post-labeling delay and the other to measure high-resolution perfusion-weighted maps with a single post-labeling delay. Both ATT and perfusion-weighed maps were applied with vessel suppression. We found that ATT increases with age in the frontal, temporoparietal, and occipital regions, with a more pronounced elongation in males compared to females in the middle temporal gyrus. ATT-corrected CBF decreases with age in several brain regions, including the anterior cingulate, insula, posterior cingulate, angular, precuneus, supramarginal, frontal, parietal, superior and middle temporal, occipital, and cerebellar regions, while remaining stable in the inferior temporal and subcortical regions. In contrast, without ATT correction, we detected artifactual decreases in the inferior temporal and precentral regions.
