This study examines brain-thought relationships during movie-watching, finding that sensory-related neural signatures are consistent across films, while memory-related processes vary with context and modeling approaches.

The paper examines how different types of event boundaries during movie-watching relate to visual, auditory, semantic features, thought patterns, and cortical states.

The paper shows that neural focus during tasks differs based on cognitive mode, with distinct brain activity patterns for arithmetic and comprehension tasks.

The paper identifies a topographic organization of mental imagery in the human parietal cortex, showing modality-specific regions and a central hub for multisensory imagery.

This paper investigates the role of the angular gyrus in semantic processing by integrating multiple methods, showing that its engagement depends on cognitive factors like memory and mental state.

This study examines the role of the angular gyrus in retrieving specific and categoric memories using fMRI, finding that AG activity correlates with memory detail and shows functional differentiation between subregions.

This study shows early sensory deprivation causes localized reorganization near deprived primary sensory areas while preserving the overall cortical hierarchy.

This study shows that changes in functional connectivity gradients after stroke can explain semantic aphasia deficits, and these changes can be simulated from structural MRI data.

This study examines how stroke-induced changes in functional connectivity gradients relate to language outcomes in aphasia patients.

The paper examines the relationship between task context, thought patterns, and neural activity, finding that thought reliability varies with task context and is associated with MDN activity.

The paper examines how semantic control networks differ in their activation during visual and auditory semantic tasks, finding SCN involvement modulated by task structure and MDN influenced by input modality.

This paper uses MEG to show how semantic control regions interact with visual cortex during semantic decisions, revealing goal-dependent feedback and feedforward signaling patterns.

This study uses ALE meta-analysis to compare brain regions engaged by syntactic and semantic processing, finding syntactic demands activate parts of the semantic control network.

This paper introduces Feature Similarity (FS), a method to measure brain region interactions, showing it captures functional organization and task-specific dynamics better than traditional methods.

This study uses activity flow mapping to show reduced task activation prediction accuracy in TLE and FLE patients, linking intrinsic network dysconnectivity to memory impairments.

The paper uses fMRI and TMS to show individual differences in how left anterior parietal cortex supports verbal short-term memory, with some relying more on semantic than phonological processing.

This study maps how cortical organization matures across childhood and adolescence by analyzing frequency-specific brain activity, revealing distinct developmental stages and individual differences linked to cognitive and social traits.

This study uses experience sampling to measure daily thought patterns and links them to mental health, finding an 'Intrusive Distraction' pattern associated with anxiety and linked to social connectedness.

This study investigates semantic structure and retrieval impairments in schizophrenia using word association tasks and MEG, finding idiosyncrasy in semantic representations among patients with speech disorganization.

The paper examines how domain-general brain networks contribute to verbal intelligence development using structural brain data from children and adolescents.

The paper identifies two distinct pathways between visual and default mode networks that support semantic and spatial cognition, showing their dissociation in functional connectivity and task responses.

This paper uses representational similarity analysis to show how neural representations of cognitive control transition gradually across subregions of the lateral prefrontal cortex, with differences in dimensionality and generalisability.

The paper shows that personality traits are more strongly associated with brain activity in specific tasks than in others, highlighting the need for context-specific analyses.

The paper investigates how brain states adapt to different semantic tasks, showing distinct activation patterns in cognitive control and default mode networks based on task demands.
