This paper has a rather audacious purpose: to present a comprehensive theory explaining,
and further providing hypotheses for the empirical study of, the multiple ways by which …

Diffusion MRI (or dMRI) came into existence in the mid-1980s. During the last 25years,
diffusion MRI has been extraordinarily successful (with more than 300,000 entries on …

Objective: Disrupted emotional processing is a common feature of many psychiatric
disorders. The authors investigated functional disruptions in neural circuitry underlying …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

Objective The thalamus and cerebral cortex are connected via topographically organized,
reciprocal connections. Previous studies have revealed thalamic abnormalities in …

Recent evidence from monkey models of cognition shows that the magnocellular
subdivision of the mediodorsal thalamus (MDmc) is more critical for learning new …

Working memory is characterized by neural activity that persists during the retention interval
of delay tasks. Despite the ubiquity of this delay activity across tasks, species and …

The function of the human mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD) has so far eluded a clear
definition in terms of specific cognitive processes and tasks. Although it was at first proposed …

Objective: Functional connectivity in the default mode network (DMN) is known to be
reduced in patients with disorders of consciousness, to a different extent depending on their …

The thalamus is a crucial node for brain physiology and part of functional and structural
pathways relevant for schizophrenia. Relatively few imaging studies on schizophrenia have …
