Mapping Whole-Brain Factors of Microstructural Similarity with Diffusion MRI

The paper identifies shared dimensions of variation in diffusion MRI statistics and maps spatial patterns of microstructural similarity across the brain.

Neuronal activity in the human amygdala and hippocampus enhances emotional memory encoding

The paper investigates how neuronal activity in the amygdala and hippocampus enhances emotional memory encoding and shows that inhibiting this activity reduces memory enhancement for emotional stimuli.

A Taxonomy of Seizure Spread Patterns, Speed of Spread, and Associations With Structural Connectivity

The paper develops deep learning algorithms to quantify seizure spread beyond onset zones and finds associations with structural connectivity and surgical outcomes.

A Framework for Brain Atlases: Lessons from seizure Dynamics

The paper proposes a framework for selecting brain atlases to maximize their descriptive, explanatory, and predictive validity in studying neurological function and epilepsy.

Neurophysiological evidence for cognitive map formation during sequence learning

This study links cognitive map formation during sequence learning to neural activity in the temporal lobe using behavioral modeling and iEEG recordings.

Distinct cortical systems reinstate the content and context of episodic memories

The paper identifies cortical networks that reinstated semantic content and temporal context during episodic recall, showing how specialized systems organize memory retrieval.

The effects of direct brain stimulation in humans depend on frequency, amplitude, and white-matter proximity.

This study examines how direct brain stimulation affects neuronal activity in humans, finding that frequency, amplitude, and electrode location influence whether stimulation inhibits or excites activity.

Functionally distinct high and low theta oscillations in the human hippocampus

The paper investigates human hippocampal theta oscillations, finding distinct high (8-Hz) and low (3-Hz) frequencies associated with spatial navigation and non-spatial processes respectively.

Single-neuron representations of spatial targets in humans

This study examines how neurons in the human medial-temporal lobe represent spatial targets during navigation, finding that firing rates change based on target position and heading direction.

Intracranial EEG reveals bihemispheric parietal and extra parietal brain networks supporting mental arithmetic

The paper uses intracranial EEG data to identify brain networks involved in mental arithmetic, revealing contributions from parietal and extra-parietal regions and hemispheric differences.

High interictal connectivity within the resection zone is associated with favorable post-surgical outcomes in focal epilepsy patients

Neurons remap to represent memories in the human entorhinal cortex

The paper identifies trace cells in the human entorhinal cortex that remap their spatial fields to represent memory cues during cued recall.

Functional wiring of the human medial temporal lobe

The paper investigates functional connectivity in the human medial temporal lobe during memory tasks, identifying theta-band synchronization and reorganization patterns associated with encoding and retrieval.

MTL functional connectivity predicts stimulation-induced theta power

The paper shows that functional connectivity predicts changes in theta power from electrical stimulation, but only when stimulation occurs in or near white matter.

Electrical stimulation in hippocampus and entorhinal cortex impairs spatial and temporal memory

This study uses electrical brain stimulation to show that the medial temporal lobe impairs spatial and temporal memory organization in humans.

Predictive control of electrophysiological network architecture using direct, single-node neurostimulation in humans

This study uses network control theory to predictably reconfigure brain network interactions through targeted neurostimulation in humans.

Electrophysiological signatures of spatial boundaries in the human subiculum

The paper identifies electrophysiological signatures of spatial boundaries in the human subiculum using intracranial recordings during a virtual navigation task.

White Matter Network Architecture Guides Direct Electrical Stimulation Through Optimal State Transitions

This paper uses network control theory to model how white matter tracts guide electrical stimulation in the brain, showing that real white matter structures better predict state transitions than artificial models.
