One of the central questions in neuroscience is how communication in the brain is organized
under normal conditions and how this architecture breaks down in neurological disease. It …

The motor system comprises a network of cortical and subcortical areas interacting via
excitatory and inhibitory circuits, thereby governing motor behaviour. The balance within the …

This book builds on and is a sequel to our book Targeted Learning: Causal Inference for
Observational and Experimental Studies (2011). Since the publication of this first book on …

At its best, connectivity mapping can offer researchers great insight into how spatially
disparate regions of the human brain coordinate activity during brain processing. A recent …

Dynamic causal modeling (DCM) is a generic Bayesian framework for inferring hidden
neuronal states from measurements of brain activity. It provides posterior estimates of …

Effective mental functioning requires that cognition be protected from emotional conflict due
to interference by task-irrelevant emotionally salient stimuli. The neural mechanisms by …

Diffusion MRI remains the most comprehensive reference for understanding this rapidly
evolving and powerful technology and is an essential handbook for designing, analyzing …

The goal of this paper is to examine existing methods to study the “Human Brain
Connectome” with a specific focus on the neurophysiological ones. In recent years, a new …

Emotional information is better remembered than neutral information. Extensive evidence
indicates that the amygdala and its interactions with other cerebral regions play an important …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control, that is, the ability to select thoughts
or actions in relation to internal goals. Little is known, however, about how the PFC …
