This study uses 7-Tesla fMRI to show that the human periaqueductal grey (PAG) shows bilateral BOLD increases during a working memory task without threat, suggesting a broader role in brain-body communication.

The paper replicates and extends a brain system for allostasis and interoception using 7 Tesla fMRI, finding high agreement with animal tract-tracing studies.

The paper examines functional connectivity gradients in brain regions to explore their role in predictive processing, identifying two key gradients that align with hierarchical models of brain function.

The paper examines spatial patterns of PAG activity and physiological responses during social stress in humans using 7T imaging.

This study uses fMRI to show that the human superior colliculus shows increased BOLD signal during visual and somatosensory stimulation and aversive conditions, correlating with brain regions involved in sensory and interoceptive processing.

This study uses 7-Tesla fMRI to show layer-dependent activity in the human superior colliculus during a working memory task, linking it to visual processing, motor control, and executive function.

The paper identifies a large-scale brain system in humans associated with interoception and allostasis using functional MRI and a predictive model.
