This study identifies neurochemical influences on fMRI response polarity in the striatum, showing opioidergic transmission contributes to negative signals while dopaminergic transmission is associated with positive signals.

The paper investigates the neuronal dynamics of the rodent default mode network and its interaction with the anterior insular cortex, revealing how salient stimuli modulate these networks.

This study uses optogenetic stimulation to show that anterior insular cortex neurons suppress default mode network activity and reduce its connectivity with the salience network in rats.
