This study identifies a brain network associated with self-transcendence using lesion network mapping in patients with brain lesions.

The paper defends lesion network mapping by showing that it provides meaningful differences through specificity testing, refuting criticisms that it reflects normative connectome properties.

This study identifies a common brain circuit in the hippocampus associated with psychosis caused by lesions, suggesting it as a target for neuromodulation.

The paper identifies a brain network associated with religious fundamentalism using lesion data from two independent datasets, showing strong right hemisphere lateralization and reproducibility.

The paper identifies a brain network associated with novelty seeking, a stable personality trait, and suggests it as a target for transcranial magnetic stimulation.
