The mesolimbic hypothesis has been a central dogma of schizophrenia for decades,
positing that aberrant functioning of midbrain dopamine projections to limbic regions causes …

Over the past decade, many researchers have come up with different implementations of
systems for decoding covert or imagined speech from EEG (electroencephalogram). They …

Insula function is considered critical for many motivated behaviors, with proposed functions
ranging from attention, behavioral control, emotional regulation, goal-directed and aversion …

Research on motor imagery has identified many similarities between imagined and
executed actions at the behavioral, physiological and neural levels, thus supporting their …

There is increasing evidence that imagination relies on similar neural mechanisms as
externally triggered perception. This overlap presents a challenge for perceptual reality …

Adaptive behavior relies on complex neural processing in multiple interacting networks of
both motor and sensory systems. One such interaction employs intrinsic neuronal signals, so …

Inner speech is a common experience for many but hard to measure empirically. The
Varieties of Inner Speech Questionnaire (VISQ) has been used to link everyday …

" Introduction There are numerous neurobiological models of language, ranging from those
concerned with speech perception, white matter structure, and the function of dorsal and …

The divide-and-conquer approach to the study of human cognition has succeeded in
focusing researchers' efforts on behavioral phenomena that fall under well-defined …

Active responses to stressors involve motor planning, execution, and feedback. Here we
identify an insular cortex to BNST (insula→ BNST) circuit recruited during restraint stress …
