PhD Position in Ultra-High-Field Layer fMRI of Cognitive Control and Interoception

Circuit-level computational models can do more than explain existing data; they can generate novel hypotheses and capture individual differences in human populations. We demonstrate this using a bioph...

The advent of noninvasive imaging methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) transformed cognitive neuroscience, providing insights into large-scale brain networks and their link to cog...

We appoint researchers from across biology and biomedicine to set up their first groups at the Crick.

Du et al. demonstrate that task data alone can map the detailed organization of within-individual brain networks. Applications include reanalysis of existing data, pooling of task and resting-state data to increase statistical power, and studies that solely acquire task data to simultaneously estimate brain networks and extract the evoked response.

Task demands are a primary determiner of behavior and neurophysiology. Here the authors discuss how understanding their influence through multitask studies and tests of generalization is the key to ar...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at high magnetic field strengths (≥ 7 T) is a promising technique to study the functioning of the human brain at the spatial scale of cortical columns and ...

In people with severe brain injuries, stimulation restored consciousness by engaging a deep brain circuit for wakefulness—revealing a target that may also guide treatment in stroke and epilepsy.

Post-puff brain state might not be an emotion, some researchers caution, but the protocol provides a cross-species approach to study emotions.

Using a relatively large and diverse sample of mostly young adults, this study by Banellis, Rebollo and colleagues examines associations between regional stomach–brain coupling and mental health and i...

Predictive coding is theorized to be a ubiquitous cortical process to explain sensory responses. It asserts that the brain continuously predicts sensory information and imposes those predictions on lo...

Paluch et al. show that unattended working memory items, as well as attended ones, are encoded in persistent activity in the medial temporal lobe.
