Centre's Researchers have published 12 Articles in Q1 journals, including Nature Physics and Physical Review Letters. The research results were presented at 3 international scientific conferences.

On November 29, 2022, a workshop on 'Modeling the biogenesis of SARS-CoV-2' was held at the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology

Researchers of the HSE University and the Southern Federal University (SFedU) have tested a new method for studying the perception of facial emotional expressions. They suggest that asking subjects to recognise emotional expressions from dynamic video clips rather than static photographs can improve the accuracy of findings, eg in psychiatric and neurological studies. The paper is published in Applied Sciences.

Researchers from the HSE Center for Language and Brain have identified previously unknown age-related changes in brain activity during the perception of auditory information in a group of children aged 7–12 years. The researchers used magnetoencephalography (MEG), an ultra-precise method of brain activity recording. The results obtained can be used to explore the impairments in language comprehension in children with autism. The study was published in the Human Brain Mapping.

Researchers of the HSE International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics together with their international colleagues have proposed a new statistical method for analysing population admixture that makes it possible to determine the time and number of migration waves more accurately. The history of Colombians and Mexicans (descendants of Native Americans, Spaniards and Africans) features two episodes of admixture that occurred about 350 and 200 years ago for Mexicans and 400 and 100 years ago for Colombians. The results were published in the Plos Genetics journal.

In the first half of 2022, 2 articles were published by an employee of the laboratory Tatiana Zhuravleva. The first is co-authored with Alice Guerra under the title Do women always behave as corruption cleaners? published in the prestigious magazine Public Choice. The second is Corruption: A cross-country comparison of contagion and conformism, co-authored with Arthur Scream and Jin Di Zheng published in the highly regarded Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization.

Expeditions to the Eastern Arctic and Kara Seas investigated the thermal properties of bottom sediments. Numerous zones of bubbling methane flux were discovered in the shelf of the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea, which researchers believe is affecting climate warming in the Arctic. The study has been published inMarine and Petroleum Geology.

A new article by Gianluca Grimalda, Alexis Belyanin, Heike Hennig-Schmidt, Til Rekait and Marina Rozhkova Sanctions and international interaction improve cooperation to avert climate change is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Medical advances are causing a gradual increase in average life expectancy. However, this comes at a price, as the number of cases of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases grows with age. Researchers from HSE University (Russia) and Northumbria University (UK) have found that bilingualism can slow down and mitigate the course of age-related changes in the human brain. The study was published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Researchers from HSE University have shown how the brain works differently depending on whether a subject is dealing with common (shared) or private natural resources. The ventral striatum—the so-called pleasure centre—plays a significant role in this process. The study has been published by Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.
