The human brain undergoes significant changes in both its structural architecture and
functional organization across the life span. Advances in neuroimaging techniques over the …

Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by increased reward-seeking
behavior. Investigators have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in …

A fundamental challenge for systems neuroscience is to quantitatively relate its three major
branches of research: brain-activity measurement, behavioral measurement, and …

The functions of a cortical area are determined by its extrinsic connections and intrinsic
properties. Using the database CoCoMac, we show that each cortical area has a unique …

Cognitive Science combines the interdisciplinary streams of cognitive science into a unified
narrative in an all-encompassing introduction to the field. This text presents cognitive …

The directness and vivid quality of conscious experience belies the complexity of the
underlying neural mechanisms, which remain incompletely understood. Recent work has …

It has been just under a decade since contemporary neuroimaging tools, such as functional
magnetic resonance imaging, were first applied to developmental questions. These tools …

A widely held assumption is that spontaneous and task-evoked brain activity sum linearly,
such that the recorded brain response in each single trial is the algebraic sum of the …

This systematic review examined the associations between sleep and brain functions and
structures in children and adolescents aged 1–17 ys. Included studies (n= 24) were peer …

Background Regions in human frontal cortex may have modulatory top-down influences on
retinotopic visual cortex, but to date neuroimaging methods have only been able to provide …
