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.

This paper develops a framework combining generative and discriminative models to evaluate brain-behavior mappings, showing how it captures diverse relationships and identifies assumption violations.

This study uses 7-Tesla fMRI to show that the human periaqueductal grey (PAG) shows bilateral BOLD increases during a working memory task without threat, suggesting a broader role in brain-body communication.

The paper replicates and extends a brain system for allostasis and interoception using 7 Tesla fMRI, finding high agreement with animal tract-tracing studies.

The paper examines functional connectivity gradients in brain regions to explore their role in predictive processing, identifying two key gradients that align with hierarchical models of brain function.

The paper examines spatial patterns of PAG activity and physiological responses during social stress in humans using 7T imaging.

This study uses fMRI to show that the human superior colliculus shows increased BOLD signal during visual and somatosensory stimulation and aversive conditions, correlating with brain regions involved in sensory and interoceptive processing.

This study uses 7-Tesla fMRI to show layer-dependent activity in the human superior colliculus during a working memory task, linking it to visual processing, motor control, and executive function.

This study finds that preserved functional connectivity in default mode and salience networks in superagers correlates with better memory performance compared to typical older adults.

The paper identifies a large-scale brain system in humans associated with interoception and allostasis using functional MRI and a predictive model.

Meta-analysis across human neuroimaging studies in four task domains shows preferential activation of anatomically defined ventral anterior, dorsal anterior, and posterior insula sub-regions across emotion, pain, and cognitive control.
