Real-time functional connectivity-based neurofeedback of the DLPFC-amygdala pathway during threat-exposure attenuates anxiety

This study uses real-time fMRI neurofeedback to train individuals to regulate DLPFC-amygdala connectivity during threat exposure, reducing anxiety.

Fear of missing out (FOMO) associates with reduced cortical thickness in core regions of the posterior default mode network and higher levels of problematic smartphone and social media use

The right inferior frontal gyrus as pivotal node and effective regulator of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical response inhibition circuit

The paper identifies the right inferior frontal gyrus as a key node and regulator in the basal ganglia-thalamocortical response inhibition circuit using fMRI and causal modeling.

The central autonomic system revisited - convergent evidence for a regulatory role of the insular and midcingulate cortex from neuroimaging meta-analyses

This paper uses neuroimaging meta-analyses to identify the insular and midcingulate cortex as key regions of the central autonomic system, showing task-independent and task-specific roles in autonomic signal processing.

Location, location, location- choice of Voxel-Based Morphometry processing pipeline drives variability in the location of neuroanatomical brain markers

This study shows that different VBM processing pipelines produce highly variable brain maps, affecting region identification and interpretation of sex and age differences.

EEG power spectra and subcortical pathology in chronic disorders of consciousness

The paper examines the relationship between EEG power spectra, subcortical damage, and consciousness disorders, showing how combining EEG, clinical, and MRI data can improve diagnosis.

Stereotactic electroencephalography in humans reveals multisensory signal in early visual and auditory cortices

The paper uses SEEG recordings to show multisensory signals in early visual and auditory cortices during an audio-visual task, revealing cross-modal responses and frequency-specific modulations.

Different neural networks for conceptual retrieval in sighted and blind reveal the experiential bases of knowledge.

The paper investigates how visual deprivation affects conceptual retrieval by comparing neural activity in early-blind and sighted individuals during a perceptual similarity task.
