A Whole-Brain Topographic Ontology

M Arcaro, M Livingstone - Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2024 - annualreviews.org
It is a common view that the intricate array of specialized domains in the ventral visual
pathway is innately prespecified. What this review postulates is that they are not. We explore …

episodic tasks, and they also demonstrate strong functional connectivity as part of the default …

Brain coding of social network structure

M Peer, M Hayman, B Tamir, S Arzy - Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Humans have large social networks, with hundreds of interacting individuals. How does the
