Rapid language-related plasticity: microstructural changes in the cortex after a short session of new word learning

S Hofstetter, N Friedmann, Y Assaf - Brain Structure and Function, 2017 - Springer
Human brain imaging revealed that the brain can undergo structural plasticity following new
learning experiences. Most magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uncovered morphometric …

Short-term learning induces white matter plasticity in the fornix

S Hofstetter, I Tavor, ST Moryosef… - Journal of …, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has greatly extended the exploration of neuroplasticity in
behaving animals and humans. Imaging studies recently uncovered structural changes that …

Task selectivity as a comprehensive principle for brain organization

A Amedi, S Hofstetter, S Maidenbaum… - Trends in cognitive …, 2017 - cell.com
How do the anatomically consistent functional selectivities of the brain emerge? A new
study by Bola and colleagues reveals task selectivity in auditory rhythm-selective areas in …

The role of neural tuning in quantity perception

A Tsouli, BM Harvey, S Hofstetter, Y Cai… - Trends in Cognitive …, 2022 - cell.com
Perception of quantities, such as numerosity, timing, and size, is essential for behavior and
cognition. Accumulating evidence demonstrates neurons processing quantities are tuned, …

[PDF][PDF] Learning in the fast lane: new insights into neuroplasticity

Y Sagi, I Tavor, S Hofstetter, S Tzur-Moryosef… - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
The timescale of structural remodeling that accompanies functional neuroplasticity is largely
unknown. Although structural remodeling of human brain tissue is known to occur following …

[PDF][PDF] Attention drives human numerosity-selective responses

Y Cai, S Hofstetter, BM Harvey, SO Dumoulin - Cell Reports, 2022 - cell.com
Numerosity, the set size of a group of items, helps guide behavior and decisions. Previous
studies have shown that neural populations respond selectively to numerosities. How …

Micro-structural assessment of short term plasticity dynamics

I Tavor, S Hofstetter, Y Assaf - Neuroimage, 2013 - Elsevier
Diffusion MRI enables the non-invasive investigation of neuroplasticity in the human brain.
A recent DTI study has shown that a short learning task of only 2 h can yield changes in …

[HTML][HTML] Topographic numerosity maps cover subitizing and estimation ranges

Y Cai, S Hofstetter, J van Dijk, W Zuiderbaan… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Numerosity, the set size of a group of items, helps guide behaviour and decisions. Non-symbolic
numerosities are represented by the approximate number system. However, distinct …

Nonsymbolic numerosity maps at the occipitotemporal cortex respond to symbolic numbers

Y Cai, S Hofstetter, SO Dumoulin - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Numerosity, the set size of a group of items, helps guide human and animals' behavior and
decisions. Numerosity perception is thought to be a precursor of symbolic numerical cognition…

[HTML][HTML] Individualized cognitive neuroscience needs 7T: Comparing numerosity maps at 3T and 7T MRI

Y Cai, S Hofstetter, W van der Zwaag, W Zuiderbaan… - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
The field of cognitive neuroscience is weighing evidence about whether to move from the
current standard field strength of 3 Tesla (3T) to ultra-high field (UHF) of 7T and above. The …
