The thalamus is a small, bilateral structure in the diencephalon that integrates signals from
many areas of the CNS. This critical anatomical position allows the thalamus to influence …

Cognitive function requires the coordination of neural activity across many scales, from
neurons and circuits to large-scale networks. As such, it is unlikely that an explanatory …

Cognitive flexibility, the readiness with which one can selectively switch between mental
processes to generate appropriate behavioral responses, develops in a protracted manner …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system comprised of billions of cells with trillions of
connections. The interactions between the elements of the system oppose this seemingly …

The availability of neuroimaging technology has spurred a marked increase in the human
cognitive neuroscience literature, including the study of cognitive ageing. Although there is a …

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RFMRI) enables researchers to
monitor fluctuations in the spontaneous brain activities of thousands of regions in the human …

Definitions of what constitutes the 'signal of interest'in neuroscience can be controversial,
due in part to continuously evolving notions regarding the significance of spontaneous …

Alterations in brain intrinsic activity—as organized in resting-state networks (RSNs) such as
sensorimotor network (SMN), salience network (SN), and default-mode network (DMN) …

Multivariate decoding methods were developed originally as tools to enable accurate
predictions in real-world applications. The realization that these methods can also be …

Functional brain networks demonstrate significant temporal variability and dynamic
reconfiguration even in the resting state. Currently, most studies investigate temporal …
