TL;DR: It is hypothesized that beta oscillations and/or coupling in the beta-band are expressed more strongly if the maintenance of the status quo is intended or predicted, than if a change is expected.
Abstract: In this review, we consider the potential functional role of beta-band oscillations, which at present is not yet well understood. We discuss evidence from recent studies on top-down mechanisms involved in cognitive processing, on the motor system and on the pathophysiology of movement disorders that suggest a unifying hypothesis: beta-band activity seems related to the maintenance of the current sensorimotor or cognitive state. We hypothesize that beta oscillations and/or coupling in the beta-band are expressed more strongly if the maintenance of the status quo is intended or predicted, than if a change is expected. Moreover, we suggest that pathological enhancement of beta-band activity is likely to result in an abnormal persistence of the status quo and a deterioration of flexible behavioural and cognitive control.

TL;DR: This review considers recent advances in the application of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to the study of neuropsychiatric disorders and concludes that significant advances are required before it can be used in a meaningful way at the single-patient level.
Abstract: Purpose of reviewThis review considers recent advances in the application of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to the study of neuropsychiatric disorders.Recent findingsResting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging is a relatively novel technique that has several potential ad

TL;DR: This review will focus on arm movements and address the following questions: What is motor learning, do patients with hemiparesis have a learning deficit, and are approaches based on motor learning principles useful for rehabilitation?
Abstract: Purpose of reviewMuch of neurorehabilitation rests on the assumption that patients can improve with practice. This review will focus on arm movements and address the following questions: (i) What is motor learning? (ii) Do patients with hemiparesis have a learning deficit? (iii) Is recovery after in

TL;DR: Graph theoretical analysis of neuroimaging data is growing rapidly and could potentially provide a relatively simple but powerful quantitative framework to describe and compare whole human brain structural and functional networks under diverse experimental and clinical conditions.
Abstract: Purpose of review
Recent developments in the statistical physics of complex networks have been translated to neuroimaging data in an effort to enhance our understanding of human brain structural and functional networks. This review focuses on studies using graph theoretical measures applied to structural MRI, diffusion MRI, functional MRI, electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography data.

TL;DR: This review explores the current status of epidemiological, genetic, and neuroendocrinological work addressing ASD prevalence and liability in males and females so as to frame the major issues necessary to pursue a more complete understanding of the biological basis for sex-differential risk.
Abstract: Purpose of reviewA strong male bias in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence has been observed with striking consistency, but no mechanism has yet to definitively account for this sex difference. This review explores the current status of epidemiological, genetic, and neuroendocrinological work
