This study finds that deaf adults show retinotopic remapping in the visual system, with increased peripheral and reduced central visual field representations in the lateral geniculate nucleus and primary visual cortex.

The paper examines how semantic control networks differ in their activation during visual and auditory semantic tasks, finding SCN involvement modulated by task structure and MDN influenced by input modality.

The paper uses fMRI and TMS to show individual differences in how left anterior parietal cortex supports verbal short-term memory, with some relying more on semantic than phonological processing.

This study investigates how the human visual system processes radial frequency patterns, finding global curvature processing emerges in V4 and lateral occipital regions, with stronger representation in the latter.

This study examines the effect of daytime naps on word learning in children and adults, finding naps maintain explicit memory but no lexical integration, with white matter correlates in children.

This study investigates how conceptual representations in the brain change with context, finding distinct brain regions involved in maintaining individual word meaning versus context-dependent meaning.

The paper examines neural coding of semantic and non-semantic control demands using fMRI and finds distinct and common patterns in semantic and multiple-demand networks.

The paper investigates whether tactile responses in the visual cortex of a visually impaired individual are causally linked to tactile processing performance using TMS and fMRI.

The paper investigates visual cortex plasticity in a rare case of optic chiasm hypoplasia, finding three hemifield maps in one hemisphere and suggesting developmental re-wiring supports their function.

This paper uses diffusion MRI to detect and quantify crossing fiber abnormalities in the optic chiasm of individuals with albinism, showing improved detection with optimized streamline filtering methods.
