In recent decades, there has been considerable interest in synthesizing, characterizing, andmodeling magnetic nanoparticles. This interest stems from the wide array of potential oralready existing applications such as functional materials, ferrofluids, smart coatings, novelspintronic devices, magnetic tracers for medical imaging methods, targeted drug delivery,magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic separation, and many more.

his dissertation explores the role of dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) as an intermediate phenotype linking neurobiological characteristics and clinical outcomes in psychotic and affective disorders. The thesis aims to reveal alterations in dFC in psychotic and affective patients, study the impact of neurobiology on static and dynamic FC patterns, and identify neurobiological processes which might contribute to static and dynamic FC changes in psychotic and affective disorder. [...]

In an environment as complex and unpredictable as our human society, we cannot merely rely on hard-wired reflexes and short-term incentives for successful behavior. Instead, our brain uses cognitive control to derive expectations from current and prior information and adapts strategically to changing demands. [...]

The functional organization of the human brain is based on neuronal connections (edges) between cortical regions (nodes), known as structural connectivity. This may become disrupted by tumor growth or multimodal treatments, leading to cognitive impairment. [...]
