Linguistic coupling between neural systems for speech production and comprehension during real-time dyadic conversations

This study uses fMRI hyperscanning to show overlapping neural networks for speech production and comprehension during real-time conversations, extending beyond the language network into social cognition areas.

Cortical language areas are coupled via a soft hierarchy of model-based linguistic features

This study shows that cortical language areas are connected through a hierarchy of linguistic features, with higher-order regions using more abstract language features.

Neuronal correlates of sleep in honey bees

This study identifies neuronal activity patterns during rest in honey bees that resemble sleep signatures in vertebrates, revealing conserved network modulation mechanisms.

Improved prediction of behavioral and neural similarity spaces using pruned DNNs

This paper improves prediction of behavioral and neural similarity spaces by pruning DNN embeddings to align with human judgments and neurobiological data.

An intact oculomotor neural circuit in congenital blindness

The paper shows that congenitally blind individuals maintain connectivity between visual and sensorimotor cortices, with eye movements driving visual cortex activity and sensorimotor activity, despite lacking visual experience and oculomotor control.

Spontaneous eye-movements during eyes-open rest reduce resting-state-network modularity by increasing visual-sensorimotor connectivity

This study shows that spontaneous eye movements during rest reduce resting-state network modularity by increasing visual-sensorimotor connectivity.

Spatial and semantic regularities produce interactive effects in early stages of visual orientation

The paper investigates how predictions of object-location and object-category interact during early visual orientation stages using eye tracking and a computational model.

Task-induced deactivation in diverse brain systems correlates with interindividual differences in distinct autonomic indices

The paper examines how individual differences in autonomic nervous system activity during cognitive tasks correlate with task-induced deactivation patterns in specific brain regions.

Cross-modal and non-monotonic representations of statistical regularity are encoded in local neural response patterns

The paper investigates how the brain encodes uncertainty across sensory modalities and non-monotonically, using multivariate pattern analysis on auditory, visual, and audiovisual stimuli.

Prediction and information integration determine subtle anticipatory fixation biases

The paper introduces a proactive oculomotor metric to study how input statistics influence anticipatory behavior and learning.

Shared understanding is correlated with shared neural responses in the default mode network

The paper shows that shared interpretations of abstract narratives correlate with similar neural responses in the default mode network across different modalities.

A core speech circuit between primary motor, somatosensory, and auditory cortex: Evidence from connectivity and genetic descriptions

The paper identifies a core speech circuit connecting motor, somatosensory, and auditory cortex through structural and functional connectivity and genetic mediation.
