Multiple task-demands flexibly optimize neural geometry in human ventral temporal cortex

This study shows that neural representational geometry in ventral temporal cortex adapts gradually to task demands, supporting behavioral flexibility within sensory cortex.

Binding of cortical functional modules by synchronous high frequency oscillations

The paper shows that high-frequency co-ripples synchronize multiple cortical areas during semantic processing, supporting their role in information integration.

A systems-level analysis highlights microglial activation as a modifying factor in common forms of human epilepsy

The paper identifies microglial activation as a factor contributing to cortical thinning in epilepsy by integrating neuroimaging and gene expression data.

Microscale physiological events on the human cortical surface

The paper identifies three distinct classes of cortical activity using high-density microelectrodes, showing they are modulated by stimuli and present across species.

Spontaneous neural oscillations influence behavior and sensory representations by suppressing neuronal excitability

The paper investigates how spontaneous neural oscillations affect behavior and sensory processing by modulating neuronal excitability during an auditory task.

Resting state functional connectivity patterns associated with pharmacological treatment resistance in temporal lobe epilepsy

The paper identifies altered thalamo-hippocampal functional connectivity as a potential biomarker for treatment resistance in temporal lobe epilepsy using resting state fMRI.

Time-resolved neural reinstatement and separation during memory decisions in human hippocampus

This study investigates how the hippocampus and occipitotemporal cortex handle memory decisions by analyzing neural patterns during recognition tasks.

Electrocorticographic responses to time-compressed speech vary across the cortical auditory hierarchy

The paper examines how neural responses to time-compressed speech vary across auditory brain regions and relates these responses to speech intelligibility.

Replay of large-scale spatio-temporal patterns from waking during subsequent slow-wave sleep in human cortex

The paper identifies replay of waking cortical activity patterns during slow-wave sleep in humans and links them to sleep features like spindles and sharp-wave ripples, supporting memory consolidation theories.
