Executive control is a complex high-level cognitive function that relies on distributed brain
circuitry. We propose that the anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in …

The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of studies aimed at characterizing the human
connectome. These projects map the brain regions comprising large-scale systems …

The term “salience network” refers to a suite of brain regions whose cortical hubs are the
anterior cingulate and ventral anterior insular (ie, frontoinsular) cortices. This network, which …

The insular cortex, or “Island of Reil,” is hidden deep within the lateral sulcus of the brain.
Subdivisions within the insula have been identified on the basis of cytoarchitectonics, sulcal …

Variability of neuronal responses is thought to underlie flexible and optimal brain function.
Because previous work investigating BOLD signal variability has been conducted within task …

Background Over the recent years there has been a growing debate regarding the extent
and nature of the overlap in neuropathology between schizophrenia (SZ) and autism …

Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a maladaptive response to sadness and a
transdiagnostic risk-factor. A critical challenge hampering attempts to promote more …

Salience Network of the Human Brain focuses on the multiple sources of stimuli that
compete for our attention, providing interesting discussions on how the relative salience …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with altered
brain connectivity. Previous neuroimaging research demonstrates inconsistent results …

Despite extensive research into executive function (EF), the precise relationship between
brain dynamics and flexible cognition remains unknown. Using a large, publicly available …
