Journal ArticleDOI
Failure of working memory training to enhance cognition or intelligence.
Todd W. Thompson,Michael Waskom,Michael Waskom,Keri-Lee A. Garel,Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez,Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez,Gretchen O. Reynolds,Gretchen O. Reynolds,Rebecca Winter,Rebecca Winter,Patricia Chang,Kiersten Pollard,Nupur Lala,Nupur Lala,George A. Alvarez,John D. E. Gabrieli,John D. E. Gabrieli +16 more
TL;DR: These findings fail to support the idea that adaptive working memory training in healthy young adults enhances working memory capacity in non-trained tasks, fluid intelligence, or other measures of cognitive abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resting-state anticorrelations between medial and lateral prefrontal cortex: association with working memory, aging, and individual differences.
Joseph B. Keller,Trey Hedden,Todd W. Thompson,Sheeba Arnold Anteraper,John D. E. Gabrieli,Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli +5 more
TL;DR: Findings show that variation in MPFC-DLPFC anticorrelations, whether related to aging or to individual differences, may reflect an intrinsic functional brain architecture supportive of WM capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing real time fMRI neurofeedback for therapeutic discovery and development

Turk-Browne,Megan T. deBettencourt,Dustin Scheinost,Cameron Craddock,Todd W. Thompson,Vanessa Calderon,Clemens C. C. Bauer,Mark S. George,Hans C. Breiter,Hans C.

TL;DR: The state of the science for an emerging technology, real time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) neurofeedback, in clinical neurotherapeutics is described and the overall goal is for rtfMRI to advance personalized assessment and intervention approaches to enhance resilience and reduce morbidity by correcting maladaptive patterns of brain function in those with brain disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing cognition using transcranial electrical stimulation
Emiliano Santarnecchi,Emiliano Santarnecchi,Anna-Katharine Brem,Anna-Katharine Brem,Erica Levenbaum,Todd W. Thompson,Roi Cohen Kadosh,Alvaro Pascual-Leone +7 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on the growing interest in the potential of noninvasive brain stimulation, particularly transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES), to enhance cognitive abilities in healthy individuals through the modulation of neuronal membrane potentials, specific brain oscillations or the delivery of electrical ‘noise’ to the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute social isolation evokes midbrain craving responses similar to hunger
Livia Tomova,Kimberly L. Wang,Todd W. Thompson,Gillian A. Matthews,Atsushi Takahashi,Kay M. Tye,Rebecca Saxe,Rebecca Saxe +7 more
TL;DR: Across deprivation sessions, it is found that deprivation narrows and focuses the brain's motivational responses to the deprived target, supporting the intuitive idea that acute isolation causes social craving, similar to the way fasting causes hunger.
