This study examines how pubertal timing relates to resting-state functional connectivity in preadolescents and its potential link to depressive symptoms.

The paper links socioeconomic status (SES) to brain-wide associations, showing SES has stronger associations with brain structure and function than IQ or psychopathology.

The paper identifies parallel processing chains in association cortex using multiple functional mapping modalities, showing they are experience-driven and organized across different cytoarchitectures.

This study maps the brain organization of a memory champion using functional MRI, revealing enhanced connectivity and unique modules related to memory techniques.

This study introduces MEDIC, a framewise distortion correction method for multi-echo fMRI that improves alignment and reduces motion impact without requiring field maps.

This study shows stimulant medications affect brain connectivity in action/motor and reward-related regions, not attention networks, and mimic the effects of sleep.

This study shows that resting-state functional connectivity better predicts sex than cortical thickness in preadolescents and relates to sex/gender alignment.

The paper introduces SHAMAN, a method to assess motion impact on brain-behavior associations in fMRI studies, finding significant motion overestimation and underestimation in various traits.

This study investigates disuse-driven plasticity in the human thalamus and putamen using fMRI, finding strengthened functional connectivity and signal pulses in these regions during limb immobilization.

The paper examines the functional connectivity of the human red nucleus using resting-state fMRI and finds it is involved in goal-directed behavior and cognitive control rather than motor function.

The paper examines hippocampal-cortical co-reactivation during rest after encoding and links it to forgetting in humans.

The paper reveals that motor cortex contains inter-effector regions connected to the Cingulo-opercular network, alternating with effector-specific areas, suggesting a dual system for motor control and whole-body coordination.

This study identifies language-sensitive cerebellar regions and maps their structural connectivity using HCP data, revealing unique patterns related to language comprehension.

This study investigates the cerebellum's role in mentalizing using multimodal neuroimaging, finding domain-specific organization and left hemisphere lateralization in connectivity.

This study maps the structural and functional connectome of mentalizing in humans using multimodal neuroimaging data, revealing its distinct architecture and relationship with the default mode network.

The paper reviews structural connectivity in social neuroscience and uses diffusion imaging to map white matter pathways underlying social brain networks.
