The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

Abstract Systems neuroscience approaches with a focus on large-scale brain organization
and network analysis are advancing foundational knowledge of how cognitive control …

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 …

This review synthesizes relations between mindfulness and resting-state fMRI functional
connectivity of brain networks. Mindfulness is characterized by present-moment awareness …

The frontoparietal network is critical for our ability to coordinate behavior in a rapid, accurate,
and flexible goal-driven manner. In this review, we outline support for the framing of the …

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 …

Abstract Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) is a common, heritable and evolutionarily
conserved trait describing inter-individual differences in sensitivity to both negative and …

How does a lack of sleep affect our brains? In contrast to the benefits of sleep, frameworks
exploring the impact of sleep loss are relatively lacking. Importantly, the effects of sleep …

Analysis and interpretation of studies on cognitive and affective dysregulation often draw
upon the network paradigm, especially the Triple Network Model, which consists of the …
