Neural dynamics of an extended frontal lobe network in goal-subgoal problem solving

This study examines how goal-subgoal problem solving is encoded in a distributed network of frontal lobe regions in monkeys, showing specialized and shared representations across regions.

Synaptic function and sensory processing in ZDHHC9-associated neurodevelopmental disorder: a mechanistic account

This study uses MEG and a recurrent neural network model to show that reduced inhibition in ZDHHC9-deficient individuals explains altered auditory processing and cortical dynamics.

Spatially-embedded recurrent neural networks reveal widespread links between structural and functional neuroscience findings

This paper introduces seRNNs, a spatially-embedded recurrent neural network model that reveals structural and functional brain motifs linked to biological optimization.

A weighted generative model of the human connectome

This paper introduces a weighted generative model of the human connectome that captures both topology and edge-weights, showing improved accuracy over previous models.

A one-shot learning signal in monkey prefrontal cortex

This study shows that frontal cortex neurons in monkeys exhibit a binary one-shot switch between explore and exploit behaviors during a task with a known structure, rather than continuous changes linked to prediction errors.

Fluid intelligence and naturalistic task impairments after focal brain lesions

This study examines how focal brain lesions affect performance on naturalistic tasks and finds that deficits are not explained by fluid intelligence or specific network damage but are instead linked to diverse lesions.

Neurocognitive reorganization between crystallized intelligence, fluid intelligence and white matter microstructure in two age-heterogeneous developmental cohorts
