Postnatal sensorimotor experience causally shapes hemispheric specialization across motor and language networks

The paper shows that postnatal motor experience alters hemispheric specialization in motor and language networks, with reduced left-hemisphere dominance in right OBPI individuals.

From Hands to Feet: Experience-Driven Plasticity in Secondary Somatosensory Cortex in People Born without Hands

This study shows that people born without hands exhibit functional reorganization in the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) due to lifelong compensatory foot use, indicating experience-driven plasticity beyond primary somatosensory cortex (SI).

Tool-use brain representations are independent of the acting body part and motor experience

The paper shows that tool-use brain representations in motor association areas are independent of the acting body part and motor experience.

Reorganization of motor functions within visuomotor networks subsequent to somatosensory cortical damage

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.

Mapping the shared and unique structural asymmetry abnormalities of young children with autism and developmental delay/intellectual disability with normative models and their multimodal cascade

The paper examines structural asymmetry abnormalities in young children with autism and developmental delay/intellectual disability using normative models and finds group-specific patterns linked to gene expression and behavioral outcomes.

Abnormal white matter development during early childhood in autism and developmental disability

This study examines white matter development in children with autism, developmental delay/intellectual disorder, and typical development, identifying delayed growth patterns and their clinical associations.

Tauopathy severely disrupts homeostatic set-points in emergent neural dynamics but not in the activity of individual neurons.

This study shows that tauopathy disrupts network-level homeostatic set-points in hippocampal activity but not individual neuron activity, with implications for computational capacity and behavior.

Grasping with a twist: Dissociating action goals from motor actions in human frontoparietal circuits

The paper uses fMRI to compare neural activation patterns during isolated prehension and prehension for object manipulation, finding distinct patterns involving visual and sensorimotor areas.
