Behaviorally, VWM and LTM accuracies are reliably correlated at the behavioral level, raising the question of whether LTM encoding uniquely engages processes that are distinct from VWM encoding. To investigate this, we recorded EEG activity as participants completed recognition memory tasks with set sizes of 32 and 128, far beyond typical VWM capacity. Using interelectrode correlation (IC) analysis, we found that IC patterns reliably predicted individual differences in LTM encoding across both set sizes, indicating a robust, domain-general neural signature. Importantly, this predictive power remained even after controlling for VWM and attentional control performance, suggesting that the model captures variance specific to LTM encoding. Temporally, predictive signals emerged only after stimulus onset and persisted for 500-600 ms. Early and late encoding phases involved distinct network structures, reflecting dynamic neural processes underlying individual differences in LTM encoding. Lastly, we showed that alpha band-passed IC, but not theta or beta band-passed IC, selectively predicted individual differences in LTM performance.

Many studies have investigated this process, but progress has been impeded by methodological limitations relating to task performance confounds, contrast validity, and sample sizes. Furthermore, few studies have accounted for the complex relationships that exist between patterns of structural damage, distributed networks of functional activity, and behavioral outcomes. The present cross-sectional study aimed to overcome these critical methodological limitations and to disentangle the relationships between structure, function, and behavior. We recruited 70 individuals with post-stroke aphasia and 45 neurologically normal comparison participants. We used a valid and reliable language mapping fMRI paradigm that adapted dynamically to each participant's task performance, and carried out whole-brain permutation analyses along with hypothesis-driven analyses of individually defined functional regions of interest (ROIs). Multivariable models were constructed that incorporated lesion load estimates derived from machine learning and language activations across multiple brain regions. We found strong evidence that left posterior temporal cortex is the most critical region for language processing in post-stroke aphasia: functional activity in this region was reduced in aphasia, predictive of aphasia outcomes in a whole-brain analysis above and beyond the contribution of lesion load, and remained predictive even above and beyond other functional predictors, with a medium effect size (<i>f</i> <sup>2</sup> = 0.15). We also found that right posterior temporal cortex made an independent contribution to aphasia outcomes: functional activity was attenuated in aphasia, suggesting diaschisis, yet was predictive of aphasia outcomes above and beyond left hemisphere lesion load and functional predictors, with a small effect size (<i>f</i> <sup>2</sup> = 0.08). We corroborated the importance of left frontal cortex: functional activity was attenuated in aphasia and predictive of aphasia outcomes over and beyond the contribution of lesion load; however, unlike in the bilateral temporal regions, functional activity in the left frontal lobe did not remain predictive once other functional predictors were included in the model. There was no support for other potential compensatory mechanisms such as recruitment of the right frontal lobe, the bilateral multiple demand network, or perilesional regions. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that functional imaging can provide critical insights into language processing in aphasia that cannot be obtained from structural imaging alone, with the left and right posterior temporal cortices making independent contributions to aphasia outcomes after stroke.</p>","PeriodicalId":73341,"journal":{"name":"Imaging neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.)","volume":"4 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13137568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147846989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These inconsistencies limit the interpretability and generalizability of results, emphasizing the need for a systematic evaluation of measure reliability. In this study, we addressed this gap by identifying the most reliable EEG resting-state measures and evaluating their predictive value for LTM performance in a second-language (L2) vocabulary learning paradigm. A group of children (N = 36) and adults (N = 90) participated in two studies on second-language vocabulary learning. Participants completed a test on L2 vocabulary and a resting-state EEG recording (180 seconds eyes open) before and after learning a second language. We used Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) to identify resting-state EEG measures with satisfying test-retest reliability (ICC > = 0.75) and then assessed how these reliable measures are associated with L2 vocabulary learning representing LTM performance. Highest ICC values were found for oscillatory power in the alpha range and in the frequency of occurrences, duration, and coverages of microstates. Calculations yielded ICC values of 0.84/0.86 (children/adults) for alpha power and 0.88/0.80 for microstate measures. Of these measures, only alpha power showed a positive correlation with LTM performance, but only in the adult population (<i>r</i> = 0.38, <i>p</i> < .01). No other measures were associated with LTM (all <i>p</i> > .05).

Conventional diagnostic and neuroimaging analytical approaches rely on subjective assessment or group differences, but typically ignore progression between groups or heterogeneity within a group. To estimate the neuropsychiatric continuum and heterogeneity, we proposed a functional network connectivity (FNC) interpolation framework based on a variational autoencoder (VAE) using static FNC (sFNC) and dynamic FNC (dFNC) data from controls and patients with SZ or ASD. We demonstrated that VAEs significantly outperformed a linear baseline and a semi-supervised counterpart. For both sFNC and dFNC interpolation, the generated results effectively captured representative and generalizable properties in the original data. The interpolated continua from controls to patients in both SZ and ASD revealed group-wise gradients characterized by reduced positive correlations within the auditory, sensorimotor, and visual networks, as well as between the subcortical and cerebellar domains. In contrast, anti-correlations weakened between the subcortical domain and the sensory domains, and between the cerebellar domain and the sensory domains. Finally, we showed examples of how to generate continuous FNC data following group- or state-based trajectories in the VAE latent space.

Our laboratory recently found evidence that differences in cognitive processing during encoding can modulate the relationship between hippocampal pattern similarity and recognition success. This finding is consistent with the theoretical proposal that hippocampal representations have a dynamic relationship to memory retrieval in which cognitive goals are influential. However, there have been few attempts to replicate representational similarity findings from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and, to our knowledge, no evidence of successful replication in either the hippocampus or subsequent memory studies. In order to draw strong theoretical conclusions from our findings, or others in the literature, it is important to demonstrate that those findings are robust. The current study attempted a direct replication of our prior experiment with the exception of minor modifications in the neuroimaging parameters, which were intended to assess the degree to which representational similarity analyses are influenced by reasonable technical differences in data collection. We did not replicate the finding that cognitive variability interacts with future recognition success in the hippocampus. Overall, we failed to replicate 9 out of 12 significant <i>F</i>-test results from the Lim et al. study. The three findings that were replicated can be explained by minor visual differences in stimulus presentation on variable cognitive context trials. In addition, we found three new significant effects in the current study that did not previously appear in our earlier study. Therefore, we conclude that fMRI studies using representational similarity analysis of subsequent memory performance are sensitive to minor methodological variation. Further tests of the replicability of these findings are needed prior to drawing theoretical conclusions from their results.
