Computational simulations reproduce in vivo population receptive field mapping fMRI results

The paper shows that large-scale simulations can replicate in vivo pRF mapping variability patterns, offering insights into retinotopic mapping paradigms.

Population receptive field properties of the human visual claustrum zone

This study characterizes the topographic organization of the human visual claustrum zone using population receptive field analysis, revealing both similarities to and distinctions from other visually responsive brain regions.

GEM-pRF: GPU-Empowered Mapping of Population Receptive Fields for Large-Scale fMRI Analysis

GEM-pRF accelerates population receptive field mapping in fMRI by reformulating the GLM and using GPU computation, achieving faster and accurate results than existing methods.

Biases in volumetric versus surface analyses in population receptive field mapping

The paper compares volumetric and surface-based pRF mapping analyses, finding that surface upsampling increases pRF coverage in the central visual field due to cortical magnification.

Effects of dopamine and opioid receptor antagonism on the neural processing of social and non-social rewards

This study investigates how dopamine and opioid receptor antagonism affect neural processing of social and non-social rewards using functional neuroimaging and pharmacological interventions.

High-resolution 7T fMRI reveals the visual sensory zone of the human claustrum

This study uses 7T fMRI to show distinct visual responses in the human claustrum, supporting its role in sensory processing.

Validation of a new coil array tailored for dog functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies

The paper validates a new coil array for dog fMRI, showing improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to human knee coils in structural and functional imaging.

Beyond sharing unpleasant affect - evidence for pain-specific opioidergic modulation of empathy for pain

This study investigates whether placebo analgesia affects affective touch and pain empathy, finding domain-general effects for touch but pain-specific opioidergic modulation for pain empathy.

Placebo-induced pain reduction is associated with inverse network coupling at rest

This study shows that placebo-induced pain reduction is linked to inverse coupling between sensory-motor and salience networks during rest in humans.
