Spatial layout of visual specialization is shaped by competing default mode and sensory networks Open
Summary Understanding how the brain encodes information started with a map but turned into a maze: paths multiplied; boundaries blurred. Neurons tuned to specific features are not confined to single regions, but distributed across the cort…

Precon_all: A species-agnostic automated pipeline for non-human cortical surface reconstruction Open
Cortical surface reconstruction has changed how we study brain morphology and geometry. However, extending these methods to non-human species has been limited by the lack of standardized pipelines, anatomical templates, and variability in …

The intrinsic cortical geometry of reading Open
Reading involves dual streams of sensory propagation that lie within a broader sensory-to-transmodal hierarchy. This study explores whether individual differences in this functional organization can be explained by cortical geometry. Throu…

Individual brain activity patterns during task are predicted by distinct resting-state networks that may reflect local neurobiological features Open
Understanding how individual cortical features shape functional brain organization offers a promising framework for examining the principles of cognitive specialization in the human brain. This study explores the relationship between vario…

Comparative neuroimaging of the carnivoran brain: Neocortical sulcal anatomy Open
Carnivorans are an important study object for comparative neuroscience, as they exhibit a wide range of behaviours, ecological adaptations, and social structures. Previous studies have mainly examined relative brain size, but a comprehensi…

A Comparative Machine Learning Study of Connectivity-Based Biomarkers of Schizophrenia Open
Functional connectivity holds promise as a biomarker of psychiatric disorders. Yet, its high dimensionality, combined with small sample sizes in clinical research, increases the risk of overfitting when the aim is prediction. Recently, low…

View article: Variation in spatial dependencies across the cortical mantle discriminates the functional behaviour of primary and association cortex
Variation in spatial dependencies across the cortical mantle discriminates the functional behaviour of primary and association cortex Open
Recent theories of cortical organisation maintain that important features of brain function emerge through the spatial arrangement of regions of cortex. For example, areas of association cortex are located in regions of cortex furthest fro…

Cortical Morphology and White Matter Tractography of Three Phylogenetically Distant Primates: Evidence for a Simian Elaboration Open
Comparative neuroimaging has been used to identify changes in white matter architecture across primate species phylogenetically close to humans, but few have compared the phylogenetically distant species. Here, we acquired postmortem diffu…

U-Net Model for Brain Extraction: Trained on Humans for Transfer to Non-human Primates Open
Brain extraction (a.k.a. skull stripping) is a fundamental step in the neuroimaging pipeline as it can affect the accuracy of downstream preprocess such as image registration, tissue classification, etc. Most brain extraction tools have be…

A Pig White Matter Atlas and Common Connectivity Space Provide a Roadmap for the Introduction of a New Animal Model in Translational Neuroscience Open
The characterization and definition of homology in the cerebral cortex needed for a species to be adopted as a translational model in neuroscience is a unique challenge given the diverse array of cortical morphology present in the mammalia…
