1/ [PREPRINT] How is the lateral PFC organized to support cognition? Using precision fMRI, we show adjacent PFC regions support opposing functions, predicted by embedding in distinct networks across 3 cohorts (N=37). This could inform TMS treatment targets. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

📣 New preprint: Multiple Nested Distributed Language Networks in the Human Brain. 📣 Brain regions specialized for language have been extensively described. But are they organized into one network, or multiple? Our new preprint provides evidence for the latter:

Multiple Nested Distributed Language Networks in the Human Brain
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...

Happy to share that our paper on objective quality assessment for "precision" fMRI is now out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social A recap of what it does, what's new since the preprint, and code you can run on your own data. cell.com/neuron/fullt...

How can we acquire new knowledge and skills on a daily basis while remaining the same person? I'm excited to share our new preprint led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Ally Dworetsky tackling this question, just in time for #OHBM2026: doi.org/10.64898/202... 🧵👇 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Functional brain organization is stable within individuals across years
Brain regions exhibit dynamic yet highly coordinated activity patterns that form large-scale functional networks measurable through resting-state correlations. While their association with fluctuating...

New preprint as my first post! "Monosynaptic connections link functionally similar regions in human cortex." We use electrical stimulation + fMRI in epilepsy patients to map whole-brain monosynaptic connectivity at 42 cortical sites. doi.org/10.64898/202... 1/n

If chains are a fundamental organizational principle of cortex, how have we never noticed them before? The answer is that we are used to looking at data averaged across large groups, and group averaging hides them!

(1/5) Our paper is out now in Neuron! bsky.app/profile/cp-n... The LPFC has fine-scale organization that gets missed in group-averaged data because of inter-individual variability. It is visible in individuals in both resting-state and task data.

Precision fMRI reveals densely interdigitated network patches with conserved motifs in the lateral prefrontal cortex
Ladwig et al. use precision fMRI methods to show that the lateral prefrontal cortex of individuals features a mosaic of functionally dissociable network patches rather than a single, broad, and functionally flexible region, as suggested by group-averaged data.

Very excited about this project, led by @zachladwig.bsky.social We show that an individual’s lateral prefrontal cortex has reliable and highly detailed network organization missed in past group approaches. Full🧵 coming soon!

Individuals’ catenation maps were very similar. They all had dense catenation in prefrontal cortex, and moderate catenation in temporal, parietal, and insular cortex. Catenation was lowest in primary cortex and in parietal regions.

I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics. It turns out I was wrong. Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
