Beyond “sex prediction”: estimating and interpreting multivariate sex differences and similarities in the brain
Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Félix-Esbrí, Sonia; Forn, Cristina Elsevier ScienceDirect (2022-05-30)Previous studies have shown that machine-learning (ML) algorithms can “predict” sex based on brain anatomical/ functional features. The high classification accuracy achieved by ML algorithms is often interpreted as revealing ... -
Bilingualism's Effects on Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Marin-Marin, Lidón; Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Adrián-Ventura, Jesús; Aguirre, Naiara; Villar-Rodríguez, Esteban; Costumero, Víctor Mary Ann Liebert (2021-01-21)Background: Bilingualism is considered a cognitive reserve (CR) factor, due to the delay in the onset of dementia in bilinguals compared with monolinguals. Two neural mechanisms have been suggested to underlie CR: neural ... -
Do Gender-Related Stereotypes Affect Spatial Performance? Exploring When, How and to Whom Using a Chronometric Two-Choice Mental Rotation Task
Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Solozano Belenguer, Noemí; Forn, Cristina Frontiers Media (2018-07-24)It is a common belief that males have superior visuospatial abilities and that differences in this and other cognitive domains (e.g., math) contribute to the reduced interest and low representation of girls and women in ... -
Effects of different intracranial volume correction methods on univariate sex differences in grey matter volume and multivariate sex prediction
Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Ibáñez Gual, Maria Victoria; Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Forn, Cristina Nature Research (2020)Sex differences in 116 local gray matter volumes (GMVOL) were assessed in 444 males and 444 females without correcting for total intracranial volume (TIV) or after adjusting the data with the scaling, proportions, ... -
Enhanced frontoparietal connectivity in multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls in response to an intensive computerized training focused on working memory
Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Félix Esbrí, Sonia; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Bueichekú, Elisenda; Avila, Cesar; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Forn, Cristina; Broseta Torres, Ricardo Elsevier ScienceDirect (2021-04-24)Background: Working memory (WM) deficits are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Computerized cognitive training may enhance WM capabilities but its efficacy in MS patients has not been sufficiently explored. ... -
El entrenamiento en memoria de trabajo mejora la eficiencia cognitiva en pacientes de Esclerosis Múltiple
Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Bueichekú, Elisenda; Solozano Belenguer, Noemí; Broseta Torres, Ricardo; Avila, Cesar; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Forn, Cristina Aten-D (2018)La Esclerosis Múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad en la que la memoria de trabajo (MT) se encuentra comúnmente afectada. Estudiar la eficacia de un programa de entrenamiento en MT en pacientes de EM. 29 pacientes de EM ... -
Hippocampal adaptations in Mild Cognitive Impairment patients are modulated by bilingual language experiences
Voits, Toms; Rothman, Jason; Calabria, Marco; Robson, Holly; Aguirre, Naiara; Cattaneo, Gabriele; Costumero, Víctor; Hernández, Mireia; Juncadella Puig, Montserrat; Marin-Marin, Lidón; Suades, Anna; Costa, Albert; Pliatsikas, Christos Cambridge University Press (2023)Bilingualism has been shown to contribute to increased resilience against cognitive aging. One of the key brain structures linked to memory and dementia symptom onset, the hippocampus, has been observed to adapt in response ... -
Repeated Working Memory Training Improves Task Performance and Neural Efficiency in Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Healthy Controls
Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Bueichekú, Elisenda; Broseta Torres, Ricardo; Avila, Cesar; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Forn, Cristina Hindawi (2019)Background/Objective. To explore the efectiveness of a specifc working memory (WM) training program in MS patients and healthy controls (HC). Method. 29 MS patients and 29 matched HC were enrolled in the study. MS and HC ... -
Sex differences in gray matter volume: how many and how large are they really?
Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Ibáñez Gual, Maria Victoria; Adrián-Ventura, Jesús; Aguirre, Naiara; Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Avila, Cesar; Forn, Cristina BMC (2019-07-01)Background: Studies assessing volumetric sex differences have provided contradictory results. Total intracranial volume (TIV) is a major confounding factor when estimating local volumes of interest (VOIs). We investigated ... -
Subcortical grey matter structures in multiple sclerosis: what is their role in cognition?
Cruz Gómez, Álvaro Javier; Aguirre, Naiara; Sanchis-Segura, Carla; Avila, Cesar; Forn, Cristina Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins (2018)The present study aimed to investigate altered grey matter (GM) and functional connectivity (FC) in deep subcortical areas, like the thalamus and basal ganglia, and their relationship with cognitive impairment in multiple ... -
The adhesio interthalamica as a neuroanatomical marker of structural differences in healthy adult population
Miró-Padilla, Anna; Adrián-Ventura, Jesús; Costumero, Víctor; Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Villar-Rodríguez, Esteban; Marin-Marin, Lidón; Aguirre, Naiara; Bueichekú, Elisenda Springer (2021-07-01)The adhesio interthalamica (AI) is a small midline brain structure that connects the left and right thalamus. According to in vivo data, between 2.3 and 22.3% of the general population lack the AI, and the question of ... -
