The thalamus is a small, bilateral structure in the diencephalon that integrates signals from
many areas of the CNS. This critical anatomical position allows the thalamus to influence …

The process of altering neural activity–neuromodulation–has long been used to treat
patients with brain disorders and answer scientific questions. Deep brain stimulation in …

Motor cortex (M1) has been thought to form a continuous somatotopic homunculus
extending down the precentral gyrus from foot to face representations,, despite evidence for …

A single dose of psilocybin, a psychedelic that acutely causes distortions of space–time
perception and ego dissolution, produces rapid and persistent therapeutic effects in human …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used to treat multiple psychiatric and
neurological conditions by manipulating activity in particular brain networks and circuits, but …

Multimodal evidence suggests that brain regions accumulate information over timescales
that vary according to anatomical hierarchy. Thus, these experimentally defined “temporal …

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used in cognitive and
clinical neuroscience, but long-duration scans are currently needed to reliably characterize …

Functional connectivity (FC), or the statistical interdependence of blood-oxygen dependent
level (BOLD) signals between brain regions using fMRI, has emerged as a widely used tool …

An important aspect of network-based analysis is robust node definition. This issue is critical
for functional brain network analyses, as poor node choice can lead to spurious findings and …

The mechanisms controlling dynamical patterns in spontaneous brain activity are poorly
understood. Here, we provide evidence that cortical dynamics in the ultra-slow frequency …
