This study shows humans adapt learning rates at both fast and slow time scales, with the central orbitofrontal cortex involved in representing environment-specific learning rates.

The paper investigates how neural task representations adapt to task uncertainty using fMRI, finding dissociable modulations of conjunctive and compositional representations in the frontoparietal network.

The paper investigates how emotional expressions are represented in brain networks for facial and vocal signals, finding shared neural codes and multisensory integration across regions.

This study shows that early visual deprivation in humans impairs the early visual cortex but leaves the categorical coding in the ventral occipito-temporal cortex largely unaffected.

The paper investigates the testing effect using fMRI and computational models, finding that testing enhances memory through predictive learning mechanisms involving reward-related brain areas.

This study identifies brain regions encoding both auditory and visual speech using fMRI, showing that the VWFA and lSTS represent phonological information from both modalities, with distinct alignment patterns.

This study examines how blindness onset affects sound category representation in occipital and temporal cortices, finding enhanced and stable coding in occipital regions and a reverse pattern in temporal regions in blind individuals.

The paper investigates how early blindness affects brain networks involved in spatial hearing, finding enhanced motion direction coding in hMT+/V5 and reduced coding in hPT in blind individuals.

This study identifies direct white matter connections between auditory and visual motion-selective brain regions in humans, proposing a new anatomical pathway called the middle occipito-temporal track.

The paper investigates whether vision is necessary for categorical organization in the VOTC by comparing fMRI responses to sound categories in sighted and blind individuals.

This study uses fMRI to show that the human planum temporale encodes auditory motion directions and sound source locations with partially shared but distinct neural patterns.

This study shows that occipital cortex in early blind individuals synchronizes with speech acoustic fluctuations and has altered connectivity related to speech intelligibility.
