This study examines how early sensory loss affects thalamocortical networks, finding structural and functional changes in visual and auditory systems.

Brainana provides an automated preprocessing framework for macaque neuroimaging, enabling reproducible and scalable analysis across multiple sites.

The paper uses neuroimaging data to study how plasticity in language-related brain regions changes across early childhood, finding distinct patterns of development in different brain areas.

This study develops a growth model of the macaque visual cortex to show how geometric constraints shape higher-order retinotopic maps without explicit topographic specifications.

The paper characterizes the functional organization of the human visual system in neonates and across late gestation, revealing a tripartite structure that develops through intrinsic mechanisms.

This study shows tree shrews can recognize objects despite lacking a fovea, using computational models and behavioral tests to demonstrate transformation-tolerant object recognition.

This study examines how acute alcohol consumption affects neural inhibition in both rats and humans using the Hurst exponent as an fMRI marker, finding reduced inhibition in both species.

The paper examines how metabolic architecture in macaque visual cortex relates to retinotopic eccentricity and category selectivity, finding a correlation between CO intensity and eccentricity.

The paper investigates the role of the pulvinar in high-level visual processing using fMRI and finds it has functional specificity for bodies and faces, mirroring cortical organization principles.

This study compares myelination patterns across cortical depths and hierarchies in humans and macaques, finding a conserved inside-out pattern with extended myelination in humans.

This study reveals that pulvino-cortical white matter pathways in human neonates exhibit retinotopic and hierarchical organization similar to adults, but with less mature ventral visual connectivity.

The paper shows thalamocortical connections develop along a sensorimotor-association gradient in youth, linking structural connectivity to cortical plasticity and environmental sensitivity.

This study uses fMRI to show that movie-evoked activity in infants reveals functional organization of visual cortex, including homotopic and distinct responses across hemispheres and visual areas.

This study uses fMRI to show retinotopic organization in human infants aged 5-23 months, with age-related changes suggesting ongoing refinement of visual cortex structure.

The paper identifies anatomical landmarks in macaque inferotemporal cortex that predict the location of face-selective regions, showing these features are present across species but not sufficient for face selectivity.

The paper examines the relationship between sulcal depth and place-selectivity in medial ventral temporal cortex across species and age groups, finding stronger coupling in adults.

The paper identifies topographic body maps in newborn macaques using fMRI, showing they are present at birth and refined over development, with no cross-modal plasticity in visually impaired monkeys.

This study uses fMRI to show that the human pulvinar is functionally divided into dorsal and ventral subdivisions, each connected to distinct cortical regions, mirroring visual stream organization.

The paper examines the reliability and correlation of fMRI, ECoG, and EEG responses to natural stimuli across different brain regions and cohorts.

The paper describes a large-scale retinotopy dataset from the HCP and presents population receptive field analysis results from both individual subjects and group averages.

The paper identifies retinotopic maps in macaque scene-selective cortex and shows their organization parallels human visual systems.
