Emotions depend upon the integrated activity of neural networks that modulate arousal,
autonomic function, motor control, and somatosensation. Brainstem nodes play critical roles …

This chapter summarizes the recent advances in the neuropathology of sudden infant death
syndrome (SIDS). In 2015, hippocampal abnormalities were described in SIDS infants …

Large-scale intrinsic brain systems have been identified for exteroceptive senses (such as
sight, hearing and touch). We introduce an analogous system for representing sensations …

The hippocampus supports multiple cognitive functions including episodic memory. Recent
work has highlighted functional differences along the anterior–posterior axis of the human …

The hippocampus is a key component of emotional and memory circuits and is broadly
connected throughout the brain. We tracked the whole-brain connections of white matter …

Tremendous efforts have been made in the last decade to advance cutting-edge MRI
technology in pursuit of mapping structural connectivity in the living human brain with …

Abstract Observations in witnessed Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)
suggest that a fatal breakdown of the central autonomic control could play a major role in …

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of death in people with
epilepsy (PWE). Postictal apnea leading to cardiac arrest is the most common sequence of …

Consciousness is composed of arousal (ie, wakefulness) and awareness. Substantial
progress has been made in mapping the cortical networks that underlie awareness in the …

The involvement of the reticular formation (RF) in the transmission and modulation of
nociceptive information has been extensively studied. The brainstem RF contains several …
