This study identifies multiple individual and heuristic-based roles of uncertainty in human reward-guided decision-making using a novel bandit task.

This study shows that the language network tracks semantically rich non-verbal stimuli more than semantically poor ones but less than linguistic stimuli.

The paper shows that auditory cortex organization is preserved in individuals missing one temporal lobe, indicating hemispheric redundancy.

The paper examines the relationship between language processing and theory of mind (ToM) using fMRI, finding that language network responses to ToM tasks are largely due to linguistic confounds rather than neural overlap.

The paper investigates how language and Theory of Mind networks track linguistic and mental state content in naturalistic stimuli using fMRI.

The paper investigates whether frontal language areas develop without temporal language areas by studying an individual born without a left temporal lobe, finding that frontal language areas do not emerge in its absence.
