This paper develops a multiscale framework to decode consciousness recovery from anesthesia into three stages and identifies the centromedian nucleus of thalamus as a dynamic hub orchestrating this process.

This study identifies the human posterior inferotemporal cortex (hPIT) as an attentional priority map, showing stronger attentional modulation than classical regions across various tasks.

The paper investigates how high- and low-order feedback signals differ in their spatial, temporal properties, and functional roles in visual processing using fMRI and MEG.

This paper investigates the neural mechanisms of binocular rivalry using fMRI, finding that eye-specific response modulation occurs in V1 ocular dominance columns and that IPS and ventral pulvinar enhance connectivity to resolve visual competition.

The paper proposes that neuroticism variability can be structured into two dimensions, one linked to longevity and the other to well-being, with distinct neural and genetic underpinnings.

The paper investigates how goal-directed attention contributes to conscious perception by analyzing intracranial EEG data and a psychophysical paradigm, finding that attention-based coupling between frontal and posterior brain regions is key to consciousness.

The paper shows human subcortical pathways detect collision trajectories without attention and awareness, supporting blindsight in healthy individuals and hemianopic patients.

The paper identifies that co-activation of the ventral posterolateral nucleus and global brain activity correlates with physiological arousal but not perceptual awareness.

The paper identifies a task-related network, the Topological Discrimination Network (TDN), which shares regions with the default mode network (DMN) and exhibits similar temporal dynamics during resting states.

The paper investigates how top-down modulation and interactions between cortical areas and AMG/HPC contribute to the enhanced processing of familiar faces.

The paper uses high-field fMRI to show systematic spatial organization of face part representations within face-selective brain regions.

This study investigates how spatial attention affects contrast responses across different cortical layers in human early visual cortex using high-resolution fMRI.

The paper develops FIST analysis to study light-sensitive neurons in mouse V1, finding specific gene expression patterns associated with light responsiveness.

This study investigates layer-specific response deficits in the parvocellular pathways of amblyopic patients using fMRI, finding reduced responses in the LGN and SC for the amblyopic eye and increased responses in the fellow eye.

This study uses scRNA-Seq to analyze human and mouse retinal development, identifying conserved and species-specific gene expression patterns and a novel role for ATOH7 in photoreceptor specification.

This study uses single-cell RNA-seq to analyze human fetal retinal development, revealing transcriptional programs and developmental trajectories of retinal cell types.
