No Disconnection Syndrome after Near-Complete Callosotomy

The paper shows that retaining only the splenium of the corpus callosum prevents disconnection syndrome, suggesting minimal pathways can maintain functional unity.

Emotional amnesia in humans with focal temporal pole lesions

The paper shows that left ventral temporal pole lesions impair verbal emotional memory but not neutral memory, while right lesions affect visual emotional memory, highlighting a lateralized role in emotional memory.

Full inter-hemispheric integration sustained by a fraction of posterior callosal fibers

The paper shows that a small portion of posterior callosal fibers can sustain full inter-hemispheric integration, challenging the traditional topographic model of callosal organization.

Mosaic trisomy of chromosome 1q in human brain tissue associates with unilateral polymicrogyria, very early-onset focal epilepsy, and severe developmental delay

The paper identifies a chromosomal duplication of chromosome 1q in a subset of polymicrogyria patients, associated with specific clinical features and distinct DNA methylation patterns.

Volume-wise analysis of fMRI time series allows accurate prediction of language lateralization

The paper uses volume-wise fMRI analysis to predict language lateralization with high accuracy by classifying each time point and aggregating results.

Quantifying the Confidence in fMRI-based Language Lateralisation through Laterality Index Deconstruction

The paper deconstructs the laterality index in fMRI to improve language lateralisation classification in epilepsy patients, achieving high accuracy in predicting lateralisation and Wada test results.

Thought experiment: Decoding cognitive processes from the fMRI data of one individual

This study decodes cognitive processes from single-person fMRI data using similarity metrics, achieving high accuracy in predicting cognitive domains and specific content.
