Human evolution has been marked by a striking increase in total brain volume relative to
body size. While a prominent and characteristic feature of this volumetric shift has been the …

Fear and anxiety are largely seen as separate entities, a distinction that inspires and shapes
basic and clinical research. Evidence for this distinction has a rich translational base and …

Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging methods, including data acquisition, pre-
processing and analysis, have benefited research on the contributions of subcortical brain …

During conversation, people take turns speaking by rapidly responding to their partners
while simultaneously avoiding interruption,. Such interactions display a remarkable degree …

The amygdala is composed of multiple nuclei with unique functions and connections in the
limbic system and to the rest of the brain. However, standard in vivo neuroimaging tools to …

Single-cell gene expression technologies are powerful tools to study cell types in the human
brain, but efforts have largely focused on cortical brain regions. We therefore created a …

Although the general location of functional neural networks is similar across individuals,
there is vast person-to-person topographic variability. To capture this, we implemented …

Persistent neural activity is a putative mechanism for the maintenance of working memories.
Persistent activity relies on the activity of a distributed network of areas, but the differential …

The human amygdala is a key structure for processing emotional facial expressions, but it
remains unclear what aspects of emotion are processed. We investigated this question with …

INTRODUCTION Decision-making in complex environments relies on flexibly combining
stimulus representations with context, goals, and memories. A central component of …
