Convergent and divergent neural and behavioral responses to chronic cocaine use in macaques

This study tracks neural and behavioral changes in macaques during chronic cocaine use, recovery, and re-exposure, revealing convergent and divergent effects across subjects.

Neural timescales reflect behavioral demands in freely moving rhesus macaques

This study shows that neural timescales hierarchy changes with behavioral demands in freely moving rhesus macaques, with task engagement affecting timescale magnitudes across brain areas.

The Resting-State Causal Human Connectome is Characterized by Hub Connectivity of Executive and Attentional Networks

This paper introduces a method to calculate a causal connectome from resting-state fMRI data and finds that attentional and executive networks act as critical hubs in the human connectome.

Intrinsic timescales as an organizational principle of neural processing across the whole rhesus macaque brain

The paper investigates intrinsic timescales of neural processing across the whole rhesus macaque brain using fMRI and electrophysiology, finding consistency between timescales and hierarchical temporal dynamics.

Explainable Machine Learning Analysis Reveals Gender Differences in the Phenotypic and Neurobiological Markers of Cannabis Use Disorder

The paper uses explainable machine learning to identify gender-specific risk factors for cannabis use disorder, finding stronger environmental influences in women and individual factors in men.

An Integrated Multimodal Model of Alcohol Use Disorder Generated by Data-Driven Causal Discovery Analysis

The paper uses causal discovery analysis to build an integrated multimodal model of AUD, identifying key causal factors from brain function to social and affective factors.

Ultra-high field (10.5 T) resting state fMRI in the macaque

This paper demonstrates ultra-high field (10.5 T) resting state fMRI in macaques, revealing detailed and robust resting state components similar to human connectomes.
