Variability in brain activity as an individual difference measure in neuroscience?

Editor's Note: These short, critical reviews of recent papers in the Journal, written exclusively by graduate students or postdoctoral fellows, are intended to summarize the important findings of the paper and provide additional insight and commentary. For more information on the format and purpose of the Journal Club, please see Review of Samanez-Larkin et al. In neurobiological research it is...

Inter-individual Variability of Coumarin 7-hydroxylation (CYP2A6 activity) in an Iranian Population

An Investigation of Individual Variability in Brain Activity during Episodic Encoding and Retrieval

The purpose of this study was to test the reliability of self-reported strategy measures for predicting differences in brain activity patterns during a learning and memory task and to compare their predictive value to other measures of cognitive processing and of anatomy. Fifty participants were scanned with functional MRI (fMRI) while they intentionally encoded lists of lowly imageable words a...

Brain restoration as an emerging field in neurology and neuroscience.

Restoration of brain function was long thought to be impossible. However, as the publications in the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience (RNN) for more than 20 years attest, clinically useful improvement can be achieved after damage or diseases of the brain, the retina, and the peripheral nervous system. By reviewing both pre-clinical studies and clinical work, we explore what advanc...
