There is more to brain connections than the mere transfer of signals between brain regions.
Behavior and cognition emerge through cortical area interaction. This requires integration …

Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Human cortex appears to thin during childhood development. However, the underlying
microstructural mechanisms are unknown. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging …

How does education affect cortical organization? All literate adults possess a region
specialized for letter strings, the visual word form area (VWFA), within the mosaic of ventral …

We consider between-subject variance in brain function as data rather than noise. We
describe variability as a natural output of a noisy plastic system (the brain) where each …

How much of the structure of the human mind and brain is already specified at birth, and
how much arises from experience? In this article, we consider the test case of extrastriate …

Why has diffusion MRI become a principal modality for mapping connectomes in vivo? How
do different image acquisition parameters, fiber tracking algorithms and other …

Since the discovery that patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) show similar
deficits in cognitive control as young children, the PFC model of cognitive control …

How does the brain encode information about the environment? Decades of research have
led to the pervasive notion that the object-processing pathway in primate cortex consists of …

Network models describe the brain as sets of nodes and edges that represent its distributed
organization. So far, most discoveries in network neuroscience have prioritized insights that …
