This study investigates how dopamine affects brain metastate dynamics using a combination of PET, fMRI, and hidden Markov modeling, finding that dopamine shifts the balance between internally oriented and sensorimotor-perceptual brain states.

This study shows the glomerulus actively transports tumor-derived extracellular vesicles into urine, revealing a mechanism for their excretion and potential use in cancer diagnostics.

This study develops a PET ligand to visualize α-synuclein pathologies in Parkinson's and DLB patients, showing increased signals in affected brain regions.

The paper identifies a whole-brain neural network predicting superiority illusion and striatal dopamine levels using resting-state fMRI data.

The paper investigates the relationship between behavioral inhibition system scores and 5-HT2A receptor availability in the anterior cingulate cortex, identifying a functional connectivity network involving the left middle frontal gyrus.
