Beyond Reorganization: Intrinsic cortical hierarchies constrain experience-dependent plasticity in sensory-deprived humans

This study shows that intrinsic cortical hierarchies constrain experience-dependent plasticity in sensory-deprived humans, preserving functional gradients while allowing adaptive reorganization.

Synaptic-dependent developmental dysconnectivity in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

This study investigates developmental dysconnectivity in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome using a cross-species approach, finding age-specific fMRI connectivity changes with synaptic origins.

Biological subtyping of autism via cross-species fMRI

The paper identifies hypo- and hyperconnectivity subtypes in autism using cross-species fMRI, linking them to distinct biological mechanisms in mice and humans.

Assigning Targetable Pathways to Transdiagnostic Subgroups Across Neurodevelopmental Disorders

The paper identifies molecular pathways associated with neurodevelopmental disorder subgroups using neuroimaging data from mice and humans.

Sex-biasing influence of autism-associated Ube3a gene overdosage at connectomic, behavioral and transcriptomic levels

This study shows that Ube3a gene overdosage causes sex-biased effects on brain connectivity, behavior, and gene expression in mice, linking it to autism-related phenotypes.

A cross-species link between mTOR-related synaptic pathology and functional hyperconnectivityin autism

The paper links mTOR-related synaptic pathology to functional hyperconnectivity in autism using mouse models and human fMRI data.

Somatosensory processing deficits and altered cortico-hippocampal connectivity in Shank3b-/- mice

This study investigates somatosensory processing deficits in Shank3b-/- mice, finding reduced cortical and hippocampal activation and connectivity linked to hypo-responsiveness to tactile stimuli.

Network structure of the mouse brain connectome with voxel resolution

This paper provides a voxel-level description of the directed mouse connectome, revealing hierarchical structure and functional organization.

Brain mapping across 16 autism mouse models reveals a spectrum of functional connectivity subtypes

The paper maps brain connectivity in 16 autism mouse models to identify four subtypes of functional connectivity abnormalities linked to different etiologies.

Acute and repeated intranasal oxytocin differentially modulate brain-wide functional connectivity

This study examines how acute and repeated intranasal oxytocin administration affects brain-wide functional connectivity in mice, revealing distinct patterns of neural reconfiguration with potential clinical implications.

Deletion of autism risk gene Shank3 disrupts prefrontal connectivity

This study shows that deleting the autism risk gene Shank3 in mice disrupts prefrontal connectivity and is linked to social communication deficits.

Altered neocortical gene expression, brain overgrowth and functional over-connectivity in Chd8 haploinsufficient mice

This study examines Chd8 haploinsufficient mice, finding brain overgrowth, altered gene expression, and functional connectivity changes linked to autism-like features.
