[Oct 2024] Our papers are published!
Li lab published two papers in October, congratulations!
One paper, entitled “Multimodal Investigation of Dynamic Brain Network Alterations in Autism spectrum disorder: Linking Connectivity Dynamics to Symptoms and Developmental Trajectories“, was published in the journal Neuroimage (IF=4.7, Q1). This study employed concurrent electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) techniques to investigate dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) patterns and neurovascular characteristics in children with ASD. This research is led by Prof. Rihui Li at the CCBS of UM and Dr. Guang Yang at PLA General Hospital. PhD student Yuhang Li is the co-first author of this paper (link ).
[Sep 2024] Li Lab received multiple research grants
Prof. Li, the director of Li Lab, recently received three research grants from the Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) of Macau and the University of Macau. These grants will enable Li Lab to continue delving into the neural mechanism underlying social impairment in children with autism and developing a personalized treatment system for this cohort.
[Sep 2024] Li Lab members attended the fNIRS 2024 conference in Birmingam, UK
Dr. Li and PhD student Shuo Guan attended the fNIRS 2024 at the University of Birmingham in the UK from Sep 11 to 15. At the conference, Shuo presented her poster about the work that used fNIRS and eye tracking to investigate brain activity and eye-gaze patterns in girls with Fragile X syndrome.
In addition, Dr. Li worked with Prof. Haijing Niu (BNU) and Prof. Zhen Yuan (UM) to present a proposal for hosting the next fNIRS conference (fNIRS 2026) in UM. The board of SfNIRS finally decided that UM and BNU will co-host the fNIRS 2026 in Macau, Congratulations
[June 2024] Our paper is published in Biological Psychiatry
Our paper, entitled “Longitudinal changes in functional neural activation and sensitization during face processing in fragile X syndrome“, is published in the journal Biological Psychiatry (IF=9.6, Q1). This pioneering longitudinal research is the first to uncover abnormal patterns of neural activity changes during face processing in FXS girls as they progress through puberty. This research is led by Prof. Rihui Li at the CCBS of UM and Dr. Yuanyuan Gao at Stanford University.
[June 2024] Our paper is published in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Our paper, entitled “Associations between brain network, puberty, and behaviors in boys with Klinefelter syndrome“, is published in the journal European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (IF=6, Q1). In this study, we investigated alterations in the resting-state brain network, testosterone level, and cognitive-behavioral impairment in adolescents with Klinefelter syndrome. This research is led by Prof. Rihui Li at the CCBS of UM and Prof. Allan Reiss at Stanford University.
