Increased attentive use leads to more idiosyncratic functional connections

Pınar Demirayak, Leland L. Fleming, Paul Stewart, Rachel Chua, Kristina Visscher

The paper shows that increased attentive use of a brain region leads to more idiosyncratic functional connections, with implications for personalized rehabilitation and brain plasticity.

Impact of deprivation and preferential usage on functional connectivity between early visual cortex and category-selective visual regions

Leland L. Fleming, Matthew K. Defenderfer, Pınar Demirayak, Paul Stewart, Dawn K. DeCarlo, Kristina Visscher

The paper examines how vision loss affects functional connectivity in early visual cortex, finding that spared peripheral regions show increased connectivity to motion-processing areas regardless of usage.

Frontal cortical regions associated with attention connect more strongly to central than peripheral V1

Sara A. Sims, Pınar Demirayak, Simone Cedotal, Kristina Visscher

This study examines functional and structural connectivity differences between central and peripheral V1 regions and finds stronger connections to frontal regions in central V1.
