Scene perception in the human brain
Humans are remarkably adept at perceiving and understanding complex real-world scenes.
Uncovering the neural basis of this ability is an important goal of vision science …

Apparent thinning of human visual cortex during childhood is associated with myelination
Human cortex appears to thin during childhood development. However, the underlying
microstructural mechanisms are unknown. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging …

A retinotopic code structures the interaction between perception and memory systems
Conventional views of brain organization suggest that regions at the top of the cortical
hierarchy processes internally oriented information using an abstract amodal neural code …

[HTML][HTML] Stress disrupts human hippocampal-prefrontal function during prospective spatial navigation and hinders flexible behavior
The ability to anticipate and flexibly plan for the future is critical for achieving goal-directed
outcomes. Extant data suggest that neural and cognitive stress mechanisms may disrupt …

Extensive childhood experience with Pokémon suggests eccentricity drives organization of visual cortex
The functional organization of human high-level visual cortex, such as the face-and place-
selective regions, is strikingly consistent across individuals. An unanswered question in …

A network linking scene perception and spatial memory systems in posterior cerebral cortex
The neural systems supporting scene-perception and spatial-memory systems of the human
brain are well-described. But how do these neural systems interact? Here, using fine …

A probabilistic functional atlas of human occipito-temporal visual cortex
Human visual cortex contains many retinotopic and category-specific regions. These brain
regions have been the focus of a large body of functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Word contexts enhance the neural representation of individual letters in early visual cortex
Visual context facilitates perception, but how this is neurally implemented remains unclear.
One example of contextual facilitation is found in reading, where letters are more easily …
