Global age- and sex-specific reference curves for 11 pain sites, from 6.1 million people in 118 countries, found higher late-life pain in the lowest Human Development Index (HDI) countries and provide...

Every day, people continuously infer situational context and adjust the way they understand and remember the world. Context, signaled by the prefrontal cortex, is known to modulate working memory and ...

Hands-on tutorials for the book Elements of fMRI Analysis: runnable MATLAB and Python code, thought questions, and self-quizzes for all 42 chapters.

Lee, Oh et al. propose interoception as a biologically inspired framework for building more autonomous and adaptive AI agents, learning from living organisms to build autonomous and adaptive intellige...

Pain biomarkers cannot prove or disprove another person’s pain, but they need not be rejected as futile or reductionist. When developed within a bio-psycho-social framework and guided by epistemic hum...

Miao et al. find that recognizing social interactions in third-person narratives engages canonical brain areas subserving theory of mind. Using theory of mind recruits additional areas linked to action understanding.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Attention fluctuates over time and across contexts—how is this reflected in the brain? Fitting a dynamical systems model to fMRI data, Song and colleagues show that the geometry of neural dynamics alo...

Lee et al. show that personalized brain-decoding models derived from intensive longitudinal fMRI data can track spontaneous pain in individuals with chronic pain, highlighting the potential of precise...

Humans reflect on past memories to make sense of an ongoing event. Past work has shown that people retrieve causally related past events during comprehension, but the exact process by which this causa...

The brain is a complex dynamical system whose activity reflects changes in internal states, such as attention. While prior work has shown that large-scale brain activity reflects attention, the mechan...

Distinct hippocampal-cortical systems support the encoding and sequencing of narrative events during ongoing comprehension, revealing how episodic memory integrates past and present information into c...

Fillingim et al. show that biological and psychosocial factors jointly predict conditions associated with chronic pain.

In this study, the authors show that novelty encoding aligns with memory formation in the hippocampus but not with memory retrieval, and that hippocampal components involved in each process reflect it...

When we experience pain, the sensory input is modulated by contextual information. This neuroimaging study shows how expectation and sensory input are integrated in the human brain during pain percept...
