The paper dissociates neural representations of cognitive maps and graphs in the human brain using fMRI and representational similarity analysis.

This study examines how early sensory loss affects thalamocortical networks, finding structural and functional changes in visual and auditory systems.

This study uses MEG to investigate how early visual cortex supports lexical and semantic processing in sighted and blind individuals, finding task-specific decoding differences in occipital areas.

The paper investigates how the brain represents time using two complementary reference frames, finding distinct roles for the hippocampus and posterior parietal cortex in memory storage and retrieval.

This study investigates how early blindness affects grid-like coding in the entorhinal cortex and finds altered symmetry patterns compared to sighted individuals.

The paper investigates whether heading direction in different brain regions is encoded in allocentric or egocentric coordinates, finding that superior parietal and retrosplenial regions use an egocentric code while the entorhinal cortex uses an allocentric code.

This study shows that covert attentional movements can elicit grid-like neural responses in humans using MEG and frequency tagging.

The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of abstract and concrete semantic representations using MEG, finding early frontotemporal activation for both and later occipito-temporal responses to concrete features.

The paper investigates shape representation in the human brain by comparing early blind and sighted participants, finding that the inferolateral occipitotemporal cortex (ILOTC) encodes shape information independently of visual experience.

The paper identifies four low-dimensional states of resting-state language networks, showing domain-separated dynamics and cognitive relevance.

The paper investigates neural responses to narrative and argumentative texts using fMRI, finding shared and distinct brain network activations.
