Organic and functional food consumption: a sociodemographic perspective by Jelena Tepavčević, Ivana Blešić, Milorad Todorović, Teodora Petković

“…However, education level and income were identified as significant factors influencing the consumption of organic food, whereas they did not play a substantial role in the consumption of functional food. These findings suggest that higher education and income levels contribute to a greater preference for organic products, while functional food consumption remains consistent across different demographic groups.…”

Effective connectivity analysis of response inhibition functional network by Monica Di Giuliano, Andy Schumann, Feliberto de la Cruz, Pedro Henrique Rodrigues Da Silva, Karl-Jürgen Bär

“…Finally, correlation analyses between self-reported impulsivity levels and causal network interactions revealed that highly impulsive individuals require greater interhemispheric integration between the right and left ECNs for effective inhibition, as well as a causal excitatory modulation from the right executive control network (rECN) to the vDMN.DiscussionIn summary, our study reveals complex hierarchical dynamics among functional networks during response inhibition. These findings offer valuable insight into the neural mechanisms supporting inhibition and provide avenues for future research on the neural underpinnings of this critical cognitive function across the lifespan.…”
