A hierarchical multiscale model of forward and backward alpha-band traveling waves in the visual system. by Jakob C B Schwenk, Andrea Alamia

“…The properties of these waves have been linked to both sensory processing and cognitive functions. In EEG recordings, alpha-band (~10Hz) traveling waves propagate predominantly along the occipital-frontal axis, with forward waves being most prominent during visual processing, while backward waves dominate at rest and during sensory suppression. …”

Reward-related neural activation during social media exposure in young women with non-suicidal self-injury: evidence for a continuum of severity in the reward network by Stella Nicolaou, Anna Julià, Daniela Otero, Carlos Schmidt, Juan Carlos Pascual, Joaquim Soler, Josep Marco-Pallarés, Daniel Vega

“…Abstract Individuals with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) may be particularly vulnerable to social media exposure, yet the extent to which this vulnerability is linked to altered reward processing remains unclear. To address this gap, we investigated social media-related reward processing in NSSI by recruiting ninety-one young women, divided into three groups: a clinical group (NSSI with borderline personality disorder), a subclinical group (NSSI without co-occurring disorders), and a healthy control group. …”
