In congenital handlessness, where individuals rely on their feet for compensatory manual functions, reorganization in the primary somatosensory cor...

Objects in the real world frequently move along complex, non-linear trajectories shaped by their environment. As they do, they often pass temporarily out of sight, occluded by the surrounding environm...

Recent work has revealed two food-selective areas in the lateral and ventromedial occipitotemporal cortex (OTC). These studies have shown that food selectivity in these regions cannot be explained by ...

Abstract. Recent advances in neural networks trained on natural language have revealed that category-selective regions encode complex semantics and contextual information of natural scenes in addition...

Brain regions specialized for language have been extensively described, yet their arrangement into one or multiple networks remains debated. Using precision functional mapping across three independent...

Functional MRI provides a powerful way to characterize the architecture of the human brain. Yet individual brains often vary in the exact anatomic locations of functionally specific regions; as a resu...

Two prominent accounts describe the functional organization of human high-level visual cortex. A categorical view emphasizes category-selective areas, while a dimensional view highlights continuous fe...

LAION-fMRI (LfMRI / LAION MRI dataset): 5 subjects, 25,052 launch-release natural images, 165 acquired 7T fMRI sessions with single-trial GLMsingle betas, retinotopy, localizers, and diffusion.

Face patch cells in macaque monkeys initially respond to images of any object but rapidly transition to attend to faces exclusively, a new study finds.

Abstract. The lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) has been suggested to host action representations that are thought to contribute to accessing meaning of observed actions. In line with this propos...

Nature Neuroscience - Parcellation of the cortex into functionally modular brain areas is foundational to neuroscience. Here, Hayden, Heilbronner and Yoo question the central status of brain areas...

This study shows that interaction with objects is an important dimension that shapes the way object categories such as hands and tools are organized in visual cortex and shows that artificial neural n...

Investigating the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying food choices has the potential to advance our understanding of eating behaviour and inform health-targeted interventions and policy. Large, publi...

Large-scale similarity ratings of 768 short action videos uncover 28 interpretable dimensions—such as interaction, sport, and craft—offering a framework to quantify and compare human actions.

The Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) is key to human cognition, supporting memory, emotional processing, navigation, and semantic coding. Rare direct human MTL recordings revealed concept cells, which were ...

Improving the modeling of human representations of everyday semantic categories, such as animals or food, can lead to better alignment between AI systems and humans. Humans are thought to represent su...

The concept of optimality dominates contemporary human movement science, with researchers across biomechanics, motor control, and neuroscience routine…
