Since long, motor imagery has been recognized as a method for studying motor representations. In the last few years, important advances regarding the use of motor imagery have been made. In particular, issues concerning the functional equivalence between imagery and action have been addressed, and how equivalence affects the use of imagery to study motor representations. In this paper, we review recent findings in order to highlight the current state of knowledge about motor imagery and its relation to motor action. Three topics are discussed: (i) the imagery perspective, (ii) task complexity, and (iii) the importance of physical experience. It is shown how theses factors are closely related and how previous studies may have underestimated to what extent these factors affect the interpretation of results. Practical implications for imagery interventions are considered. It is concluded that if you cannot perform an action physically, you cannot imagine it in a way that is necessary for a high degree of functional equivalence.

Summary: Males exhibit greater variability than females in many traits, which may have implications for understanding sex differences in health and disease. A mega-analysis of brain structure variability based on MRI data of 16,683 healthy individuals spanning nine decades of life reveals significant patterns of greater male than female between-subject variance in subcortical volumes, cortical surface area, and cortical thickness. These sex differences are present in childhood and may be influenced by early life genetic or gene-environment interaction mechanisms. The findings underscore the importance of individual differences within each sex, which may contribute to sex-specific vulnerability to disorders.

Investigating associations of delay discounting with brain structure, working memory, and episodic memory

Benjamin Garzon, Zeb Kurth-Nelson, Lars Backman, Lars Nyberg, Marc Guitart-Masip

Summary: Delay discounting is an important behavioral phenomenon, but its neurobiological mechanisms are not well understood. This study used a large dataset to investigate the associations between delay discounting and memory performance, as well as gray and white matter correlates. The results showed that greater delay discounting was related to smaller anterior temporal gray matter volume. However, other associations with cortical volume, subcortical volumes, white matter organization, and memory scores were not significant after controlling for education and income. The study highlights the need for larger sample sizes and appropriate statistical methods to address inconsistencies in previous research, as well as the improvement of task parameter reliability in studying the relationship between brain structure, cognitive abilities, and delay discounting.

Polygenic Risk for Schizophrenia Has Sex-Specific Effects on Brain Activity during Memory Processing in Healthy Individuals

Elise Koch, Lars Nyberg, Anders Lundquist, Karolina Kauppi

Summary: Genetic risk for schizophrenia negatively affects memory and cognition in unaffected individuals, particularly in males. This study used functional MRI to investigate the effects of polygenic risk scores for schizophrenia on brain activation during working memory and episodic memory tasks. The results showed that the risk scores were associated with decreased brain activation in specific regions, and this effect was specific to males, highlighting the importance of these genetic factors in schizophrenia.

Hippocampal and motor regions contribute to memory benefits after enacted encoding: cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence

Maryam Noroozian, Reza Kormi-Nouri, Lars Nyberg, Jonas Persson

Summary: This study investigated the impact of motor involvement ability on brain structure during memory encoding. Results showed that individuals with low or declining ability to benefit from motor involvement during memory encoding had smaller gray matter volume in regions critical for memory and motor functions, as well as altered white matter integrity. Furthermore, the type of dopamine-regulating genes was also associated with motor involvement ability.

Drevon, Sandra Duezel, Klaus P. Ebmeier, Paolo Ghisletta, Richard Henson, Daria E. A. Jensen, Rogier A. Kievit, Ethan Knights, Simone Kuhn, Ulman Lindenberger, Anna Plachti, Sara Pudas, James M. Roe, Kathrine Skak Madsen, Cristina Sole-Padulles, Yasmine Sommerer, Sana Suri, Eniko Zsoldos, Anders M. Fjell, Kristine B. Walhovd

Summary: We found heterogeneity in regional-atrophy patterns through latent-profile analysis of 1,482 longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging observations. The results supported a 2-group solution reflecting differences in atrophy rates in cortical regions and hippocampus along with comparable caudate atrophy. Our findings suggest distinct mechanisms of atrophy in striatal versus hippocampal-cortical systems.

Right hemisphere brain lateralization for knee proprioception among right-limb dominant individuals

Andrew Strong, Helena Grip, Ashokan Arumugam, Carl-Johan Boraxbekk, Jonas Selling, Charlotte K. Haeger

Summary: Studies indicate that brain response during proprioceptive tasks predominates in the right hemisphere. A right hemisphere lateralization for proprioception may help to explain findings that right-limb dominant individuals perform position matching tasks better with the non-dominant left side. Establishing brain response associated with proprioceptive acuity for the lower limbs in asymptomatic individuals could be useful for understanding the influence of neurological pathologies on proprioception and locomotion.

White matter lesion load determines exercise-induced dopaminergic plasticity and working memory gains in aging

Bryn Farnsworth von Cederwald, Jarkko Johansson, Katrine Riklund, Nina Karalija, Carl-Johan Boraxbekk

Summary: Age-related dopamine reductions have been suggested to contribute to maladaptive working memory function in older ages. Increasing physical activity can improve working memory through plasticity of the striatal dopamine system, but its efficacy may vary due to individual differences. This study found that physical activity intervention improved striatal dopamine D2-like receptor availability and working memory performance in individuals with no or mild white-matter lesions, but had no effect in individuals with moderate-to-severe lesions. The findings highlight the importance of considering cerebrovascular health in interventions targeting neurocognitive outcomes.

Summary: Understanding individual variability in response to physical activity is crucial for developing more effective and personalized interventions for healthy aging. This study used longitudinal data from a randomized-controlled trial to investigate individual differences in a 12-month muscle strengthening intervention for older adults. Results showed significant differences in baseline physical function, sex, and depressive symptoms between trajectory groups. Improvers and decliners also exhibited significant grey matter differences in specific brain regions.

Summary: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the outcomes of computerized cognitive training (CCT) interventions for adults with ADHD. The results showed a small positive effect on overall cognitive functioning, but no significant improvement in symptom severity or specific cognitive outcomes. The findings suggest the potential benefit of CCT for adults with ADHD, but more research with diverse intervention designs is needed.

Summary: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is associated with altered sensitivity to ALLO and ISO, neurosteroids that affect GABA(A) activity. ISO has been shown to alleviate PMDD symptoms. In this study, PMDD subjects exhibited increased brain activity during emotion processing in the late-luteal phase. The relationship between ISO/ALLO ratio and brain activity differed between PMDD subjects and controls in key emotion processing regions.

Subjective cognitive complaints and its associations to response inhibition and neural activation in patients with stress-related exhaustion disorder

Andreas Nelson, Hanna Malmberg Gavelin, Micael Andersson, Maria Josefsson, Therese Eskilsson, Lisbeth Slunga Jaervholm, Anna Stigsdotter Neely, Carl-Johan Boraxbekk

Summary: This study found weak associations between subjective and objective cognitive measures in patients with stress-related exhaustion disorder. The study also showed that self-reported symptoms of cognitive functioning and burnout levels were largely unrelated to task performance and altered neural activity in frontal brain regions. Instead, an association was found between subjective cognitive complaints and increased neural activity in an occipitally situated cluster.
