Tasting from memory: reconstructing taste from visual cues in the human brain

This study investigates how the brain retrieves taste memories from visual cues, finding that taste memory is represented in lateral parietal cortex rather than gustatory cortex.

The Periaqueductal Gray Selectively Supports Reversal Learning During a Flexible Discrimination Task in Mice

The paper uses fMRI in mice to show that the periaqueductal gray (PAG) supports reversal learning during a flexible discrimination task by updating value representations.

Dopamine release effects on striatal blood oxygenation and whole brain plasticity underlying associative learning

This study shows that dopamine release dynamics in the nucleus accumbens correlate with blood oxygenation responses during associative learning, revealing a link between dopamine signaling and brain-wide plasticity.

Structural brain connectivity predicts acute pain after mild traumatic brain injury

This study uses machine learning to show that white matter connectivity in specific brain networks predicts acute pain after mild traumatic brain injury.

Structural and Functional Brain-wide Alterations in A350V IQSEC2 Mutant Mice Displaying Autistic-like Behavior

This study examines brain-wide structural and functional changes in A350V IQSEC2 mutant mice, showing increased brain volume and altered functional connectivity linked to social behavior deficits.

Individual variability in functional connectivity architecture of the mouse brain

This study quantifies individual variability in mouse brain functional connectivity using resting-state fMRI and shows it correlates with behavioral variability.

Brain-wide structural and functional disruption in mice with oligodendrocyte specific Nf1 deletion is rescued by inhibition of NOS

This paper shows that Nf1 deletion in oligodendrocytes causes brain structural and functional disruptions in mice, which are rescued by NOS inhibition.

Structural integrity following focused ultrasound thalamotomy and its correlation with tremor relief

This study evaluates white matter integrity changes after focused ultrasound thalamotomy and links them to tremor relief in patients with essential tremor and Parkinson's disease.

Individual structural features constrain the mouse functional connectome

The paper demonstrates that individual structural connectomes predict functional brain organization in mice, with asymmetry and link weights being key predictors.

Loss of function in the autism and learning disabilities associated gene Nf1 disrupts corticocortical and corticostriatal functional connectivity in human and mouse

This study shows that Nf1 loss-of-function disrupts corticocortical and corticostriatal functional connectivity in both human NF1 patients and Nf1+/- mice.
