Visually guided behavior requires transforming sensory inputs into decisions based on behavioral goals. Inferotemporal cortex (IT) is traditionally seen as a perceptual stage that provides object representations for downstream decision circuits. Here, we show that neurons in anterior IT (area TEa) reflect core elements…

Attentional distribution depends on both endogenous and exogenous processes, but how they interact in attention allocation remains unclear. The attentional priority map, jointly determined by stimulus saliency and task relevance, provides a framework for investigating their interplay. We propose that the human…

'Saloni Sharma' 'Margaret S. Livingstone' 'T. Serre'] One of the most impactful findings in computational neuroscience over the past decade is that the object recognition accuracy of deep neural networks (DNNs) correlates with their ability to predict neural responses to natural images in the inferotemporal (IT) cortex…

How does the information flow between different brain regions during various stimuli? This is the question we aim to address by studying complex cognitive paradigms in terms of Information Theory. To assess creativity and the emergence of patterns from a Shannon perspective, we applied a range of tools including…

The inferior-fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) is a long-range white matter tract that connects the prefrontal cortex with parietal, posterior temporal and occipital cortices. First identified in the 19th century through the pioneering studies of Mayo and Meynert using blunt dissection, its anatomy and function remain…

'Stephan Ulmer' 'Michael D. Noseworthy'] The human brain is an exceptionally complex organ that is comprised of billions of neurons. Therefore, when a traumatic event such as a concussion occurs, somatic, cognitive, behavioral, and sleep impairments are the common outcome. Each concussion is unique in the sense that…

'Yoshito Saitoh' 'Mikiko Ishikawa' 'Satoshi Nakada' 'Fumiko Seki' 'Keigo Hikishima' 'Hideyuki Matsumoto' 'Kenji Mizuseki' 'Osamu Fukayama' 'Makoto Osanai' 'Hiroto Sekiguchi' 'Noriaki Ohkawa'] Characterization of inter-regional interactions in brain is essential for understanding the mechanism relevant to normal brain…

Characterization of inter-regional interactions in brain is essential for understanding the mechanism relevant to normal brain function and neurological disease. The recently developed flexible micro (μ)-electrocorticography (μECoG) device is one prominent method used to examine large-scale cortical activity across…

The insular cortex is usually hidden underneath the inner surface of the operculum (). Once the dissection of the cortex and U fibers of the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes is completed, it is possible to expose the insular cortex by lifting the operculum (; ). To enhance visualization of the white…

Non-sensory thalamic nuclei interact with the cortex through thalamocortical and cortico-basal gangliathalamocortical loops. Reciprocal connections between the mediodorsal thalamus (MD) and the prefrontal cortex are particularly important in cognition, while the reciprocal connections of the ventromedial (VM), ventral…

'Nicola Palomero-Gallagher'] Neurotransmitters and their receptors are key molecules in information transfer between neurons, thus enabling inter-areal communication. Therefore, multimodal atlases integrating the brain’s cyto- and receptor architecture constitute crucial tools to understand the relationship between its…
