The paper identifies convergent and selective functional zones in the insula using fMRI data, revealing a hierarchical convergence architecture across pain, appetitive, aversive, and cognitive control domains.

The paper tests how expectations influence perception of pain and visual contrast, finding modality-specific effects and higher-level neural mechanisms.

This study shows placebo treatment reduces pain-related brain activity in affective and cognitive systems but not in nociceptive regions, using fMRI data from 392 participants.

The paper examines brain volumetric changes in a population before and after the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown, finding increases in amygdala, putamen, and anterior temporal cortices, which diminished over time.

The paper shows that memory for trained items enhances preference for high-value stimuli after non-reinforced cue-approach training, even months later.

The paper shows that different analysis workflows by 70 teams on the same fMRI dataset led to varied results, but meta-analysis found consensus in activated regions.

This study uses diffusion MRI to show short-term structural brain plasticity after motor sequence learning, revealing dynamic changes in motor regions like the premotor cortex and cerebellum.

This study investigates how brain activity patterns relate to long-lasting non-reinforced behavioral change using fMRI and a cue-approach training paradigm.
