Functional neurological disorder reflects impairments in brain networks leading to
distressing motor, sensory and/or cognitive symptoms that demonstrate positive clinical …

The theory of constructed emotion is a systems neuroscience approach to understanding the
nature of emotion. It is also a general theoretical framework to guide hypothesis generation …

This article considers the status and study of “context” in psychological science through the
lens of research on emotional expressions. The article begins by updating three well-trod …

This paper integrates emerging evidence from two broad streams of scientific literature into
one common framework:(a) hierarchical gradients of functional connectivity that reflect the …

Functional connectivity hierarchy is an important principle in the process of brain functional
organization and an important feature reflecting brain development. However, atypical brain …

The brain regulates the body by anticipating its needs and attempting to meet them before
they arise–a process called allostasis. Allostasis requires a model of the changing sensory …

Understanding cortical topographic organization and how it supports complex perceptual
and cognitive processes is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Previous work has …

Each organism must regulate its internal state in a metabolically efficient way as it interacts
in space and time with an ever-changing and only partly predictable world. Success in this …

The laminar microstructure of the cerebral cortex has distinct anatomical characteristics of
the development, function, connectivity, and even various pathologies of the brain. In recent …

The brain continuously anticipates the energetic needs of the body and prepares to meet
those needs before they arise, a process called allostasis. In support of allostasis, the brain …
