Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout the
association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that …

The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is one of the least understood regions of the cerebral
cortex. By contrast, the anterior cingulate cortex has been the subject of intensive …

Certain organizational features of brain networks present in the individual are lost when
central tendencies are examined in the group. Here we investigated the detailed network …

The role of attention in creative cognition remains controversial. Neuroimaging studies have
reported activation of brain regions linked to both cognitive control and spontaneous …

The posterior cingulate cortex is a highly connected and metabolically active brain region.
Recent studies suggest it has an important cognitive role, although there is no consensus …

The causal role of an area within a neural network can be determined by interfering with its
activity and measuring the impact. Many current reversible manipulation techniques have …

The development of human cognition results from the emergence of coordinated activity
between distant brain areas. Network science, combined with non-invasive functional …

Numerous studies have begun to address how the brain's gray and white matter may be
shaped by meditation. This research is yet to be integrated, however, and two fundamental …

Spontaneous fluctuations are a hallmark of recordings of neural signals, emergent over time
scales spanning milliseconds and tens of minutes. However, investigations of intrinsic brain …

Tractography based on diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is widely used for mapping the
structural connections of the human brain. Its accuracy is known to be limited by technical …
