1.
Meditation Linked to Enhanced MRI Signal Intensity in the Pineal Gland and Reduced Predicted Brain Age
Plini E, Melnychuk M, Dockree P
J Pineal Res . 2025 Feb; 77(2):e70033. PMID: 39940075
Growing evidence demonstrates that meditation practice supports cognitive functions, including attention and interoceptive processing, and is associated with structural changes across cortical networks, including prefrontal regions and the insula. However,...
2.
Locus Coeruleus Is Associated with Higher Openness to Experience and IQ: Implications for the Noradrenergic System for Novelty Seeking in Daily Life
Plini E, Robertson I, Brosnan M, Dockree P
J Cogn Neurosci . 2024 Oct; 37(3):767-790. PMID: 39437153
Novelty exposure and the upregulation of the noradrenergic (NA) system have been suggested as crucial for developing cognitive reserve and resilience against neurodegeneration. Openness to experience (OE), a personality trait...

Cardiovascular risk of dementia is associated with brain-behaviour changes in cognitively healthy, middle-aged individuals
Deng F, Dounavi M, Plini E, Ritchie K, Muniz-Terrera G, Hutchinson S, et al.
Neurobiol Aging . 2024 Sep; 144:78-92. PMID: 39293163
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) neuropathology start decades before clinical manifestations, but whether risk factors are associated with early cognitive and brain changes in midlife remains poorly understood. We examined whether AD...

Greater physical fitness ( ) in healthy older adults associated with increased integrity of the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system
Plini E, Melnychuk M, Andrews R, Boyle R, Whelan R, Spence J, et al.
Acta Physiol (Oxf) . 2024 Jun; 240(8):e14191. PMID: 38895950
Aim: Physical activity (PA) is a key component for brain health and Reserve, and it is among the main dementia protective factors. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underpinning Reserve are not...

Erratum to: Dietary Tyrosine Intake (FFQ) Is Associated with Locus Coeruleus, Attention and Grey Matter Maintenance: An MRI Structural Study on 398 Healthy Individuals of the Berlin Aging Study-II
Plini E, Melnychuk M, Harkin A, Dahl M, McAuslan M, Kuhn S, et al.
J Nutr Health Aging . 2024 Jan; 27(12):1288. PMID: 38242606

A Bridge between the Breath and the Brain: Synchronization of Respiration, a Pupillometric Marker of the Locus Coeruleus, and an EEG Marker of Attentional Control State
Melnychuk M, Robertson I, Plini E, Dockree P
Brain Sci . 2021 Oct; 11(10). PMID: 34679389
Yogic and meditative traditions have long held that the fluctuations of the breath and the mind are intimately related. While respiratory modulation of cortical activity and attentional switching are established,...
7.
Examining the Role of the Noradrenergic Locus Coeruleus for Predicting Attention and Brain Maintenance in Healthy Old Age and Disease: An MRI Structural Study for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
Plini E, OHanlon E, Boyle R, Sibilia F, Rikhye G, Kenney J, et al.
Cells . 2021 Aug; 10(7). PMID: 34359997
The noradrenergic theory of Cognitive Reserve (Robertson, 2013-2014) postulates that the upregulation of the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system (LC-NA) originating in the brainstem might facilitate cortical networks involved in attention, and...
