Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout the
association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that …

Intense sociality has been a catalyst for human culture and civilization, and our social
relationships at a personal level play a pivotal role in our health and well-being. These …

During the last several years, the focus of research on resting-state functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) has shifted from the analysis of functional connectivity averaged …

The brain must dynamically integrate, coordinate, and respond to internal and external
stimuli across multiple time scales. Non-invasive measurements of brain activity with fMRI …

Primates have evolved diverse cognitive capabilities to navigate their complex social world.
To understand how the brain implements critical social cognitive abilities, we describe …

A considerable body of evidence has accumulated over recent years on the functions of the
default-mode network (DMN)–a set of brain regions whose activity is high when the mind is …

Emotions are often assumed to manifest in subcortical limbic and brainstem structures.
While these areas are clearly important for representing affect (eg, valence and arousal), we …

Information processing during human cognitive and emotional operations is thought to
involve the dynamic interplay of several large-scale neural networks, including the fronto …

The default mode network (DMN) of the brain consists of areas that are typically more active
during rest than during active task performance. Recently however, this network has been …

What is the relationship between brain and behavior? The answer to this question
necessitates characterizing the mapping between structure and function. The aim of this …
