This study shows that the development of long-range cortical connections leads to the emergence of hierarchical functional modes in the human cortex, shifting from geometrically driven patterns to sensory-association organization.

This paper develops a geometric model of cortical connectomes that outperforms existing approaches in reproducing topological and topographical properties across multiple species.

This study shows early sensory deprivation causes localized reorganization near deprived primary sensory areas while preserving the overall cortical hierarchy.

The paper tests if cortical geometry encodes sensory function by modeling multisensory integration from geometric eigenmodes, finding they align with sensory domains but require additional modes for full hierarchy.

The paper introduces SCD to analyze spatial influences on cortical functional specialization, revealing a dominant gradient and competitive suppression from other brain regions.

The paper uses predictive modeling to show that stronger oral reading ability correlates with closer proximity between visual and association cortex in the brain.

This paper develops a geometrically constrained framework to map brain regions across species and shows geometry influences regional organization through patterning molecules.

This study evaluates rs-fMRI denoising pipelines for motion correction and behavioural prediction, finding no single method consistently excels at both tasks across datasets.
