This study examines slow and fast theta oscillations across the brain in a developmental cohort, revealing spatial gradients and age-related changes linked to attention and memory.

The paper examines high-frequency broadband activity in frontoparietal regions during working memory and decision-making tasks to identify distinct and overlapping neural dynamics.

This study shows that targeting intracranial electrical stimulation to network regions defined by precision functional mapping evokes network-level effects in individual epilepsy patients.

The paper investigates visuospatial coding in the human hippocampus using intracranial EEG during a retinotopic mapping task, finding that slow theta oscillations scale with visual stimulus size and show contralateral bias.

The paper uses precision fMRI to reveal individual-specific, fragmented, and interdigitated network patches in the lateral prefrontal cortex, showing conserved motifs and distinct functional boundaries not visible in group-averaged data.

The paper investigates the role of the ventral visual stream in reading, showing that only the most anterior region of the orthographic stream connects to the transmodal language network and responds to meaningful speech.

This study maps age-related changes in aperiodic neural activity across brain regions using iEEG data from children and adults, linking these changes to cognitive development and memory performance.

The paper uses kriging to show that task-induced brain activity increases can be predicted from activity decreases, revealing topographically determined antagonistic relationships.

The paper identifies brain networks associated with self-generated mental states using fMRI and experience sampling, finding distinct networks for visual and auditory imagining.

The paper quantifies lateralization of 17 brain networks and finds a compensatory relationship between left- and right-lateralized networks across individuals.

This study uses intrinsic functional connectivity to identify a distributed language network that supports transmodal language functions across auditory and visual tasks.

The paper defines the parietal memory network (PMN) using high-resolution fMRI and finds it extends beyond traditional regions to include multiple cortical areas.

This study examines individual differences in neural representations of mind-wandering using dense sampling and functional MRI, finding both consistent and variable patterns across individuals.

The paper identifies specific connections between social cognitive association areas and the amygdala, suggesting a role for the medial nucleus in social cognition.

The paper uses variograms to show that function changes more rapidly in association cortex than in sensory and motor cortex, linked to intracortical myelin levels.

The paper examines hemispheric differences in network variants from resting-state fMRI data, finding asymmetries in variant locations and their relation to lateralized traits.

The paper uses functional connectivity MRI to map the detailed organization of the human cerebellum in two individuals, revealing multiple networks and hierarchical structures.

The paper identifies and situates a language network within broader association networks, showing it is one of multiple specialized distributed networks in human association cortex.

The paper investigates whether Episodic Projection and Theory of Mind tasks rely on distinct or shared networks within the default network, finding they activate different regions in the cortex.

The paper identifies two closely juxtaposed networks within the default mode network in individuals using high-resolution fMRI and multiple analytical methods.
