The human brain undergoes a prolonged period of cortical development that spans multiple
decades. During childhood and adolescence, cortical development progresses from lower …

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 …

Brain atlases are fundamental to understanding the topographic organization of the human
brain, yet many contemporary human atlases cover only the cerebral cortex, leaving the …

The thalamus engages in various functions including sensory processing, attention, decision
making and memory. Classically, this diversity of function has been attributed to the nuclear …

Consciousness is a multidimensional phenomenon, but key dimensions such as awareness
and wakefulness have been described conceptually rather than neurobiologically. We …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system comprised of billions of cells with trillions of
connections. The interactions between the elements of the system oppose this seemingly …

The neurobiological mechanisms of arousal and anesthesia remain poorly understood.
Recent evidence highlights the key role of interactions between the cerebral cortex and the …

Complementary to the progress that has been made in the identification and map** of
discrete brain areas (Amunts et al., 2020; Genon et al., 2021) and macroscopic functional …

The intrinsic dynamics of neuronal populations are shaped by both microscale attributes and
macroscale connectome architecture. Here we comprehensively characterize the rich …

The human brain displays a rich repertoire of states that emerge from the microscopic
interactions of cortical and subcortical neurons. Difficulties inherent within large-scale …
