This study investigates how damage to primary somatosensory cortex affects motor networks in humans, showing altered activation in subcortical areas and potential reorganization of motor function.

The paper creates a spatiotemporal map of word processing during reading aloud using intracranial recordings and identifies neural correlates of lexicality, word frequency, and orthographic neighborhood.

The study identifies posterior ventral temporal lobe regions critical for word retrieval, showing that resections beyond 6 cm from the anterior tip significantly impair confrontation naming.

The paper uses intracranial recordings to create a spatiotemporal atlas of language-dominant cortex and identifies discrete neural states during speech production.

The paper identifies the mid-fusiform cortex as the first region sensitive to word identity and frequency in the ventral visual pathway using intracranial recordings.

The paper examines how modularity and flexibility in brain connectivity relate to cognitive task performance using resting state fMRI data from young adults.

The paper examines how brain modularity relates to cognitive task performance, finding negative and positive correlations with complex and simple tasks respectively.
