Feature similarity, a sensitive method to capture the functional interaction of brain regions and networks to support flexible behavior

A multidimensional feature-based approach reveals subtle, task-dependent interactions between brain regions and networks, providing a sensitive method to study the neural basis of flexible behaviour.

The neural and computational bases of semantic cognition

Our ability to use conceptual knowledge to support various behaviours is termed semantic cognition. In this Review, Lambon Ralphet al. argue that this ability arises from two interacting neural systems, one for representation and one for control.

The architecture of the human default mode network explored through cytoarchitecture, wiring and signal flow

The default mode network (DMN) is implicated in cognition and behavior. Here, the authors show that the DMN is cytoarchitecturally heterogeneous, it contains regions receptive to input from the sensory cortex and a core relatively insulated from environmental input, and it uniquely balances its output across sensory hierarchies.

Variation in spatial dependencies across the cortical mantle discriminates the functional behaviour of primary and association cortex

How spatial organisation in the brain affects function is not well understood. Here, the authors show that function changes gradually across sensory cortex, more rapidly across association cortex, and that these changes are related to variation in intracortical myelination.

Varying demands for cognitive control reveals shared neural processes supporting semantic and episodic memory retrieval

Making sense of the world around us often requires flexible access to information from both semantic and episodic memory systems. Here, the authors show that controlled retrieval from functionally distinct long-term memory stores is supported by shared neural processes in the human brain.

Macroscale brain states support the control of semantic cognition

An fMRI study on healthy participants suggests that two distinct brain states support controlled semantic cognition: one state facilitates the controlled retrieval of semantic associations, while the other state supports goal-driven control.

Self-reports map the landscape of task states derived from brain imaging

Using machine learning, this study shows that self-reported experience of task states maps onto ‘brain space’, i.e., features of different task states identified in fMRI.

The spatial layout of antagonistic brain regions is explicable based on geometric principles

Using analytic tools from earth sciences, we examined whether the landscape of regional changes in activity emerges from a set of common topographical causes. Our results from human fMRI and mouse calcium imaging suggest that topographical principles determine the landscape of peaks and valleys in brain activity - a spatial analog for the well documented anti-correlation between sets of brain regions over time.

Functional divergence between the two cerebral hemispheres contributes to human fluid intelligence

The between-hemisphere functional divergence deepens our understanding of hemispheric lateralization as a fundamental organizational principle of the human brain, providing empirical evidence for its role in supporting fluid intelligence.

Personality traits vary in their association with brain activity across situations

Brain-wide activity patterns show stronger links to personality traits under certain task-contexts than others. These results emphasize the importance of situational factors in finding reliable brain-trait relationships.

The default mode network in cognition: a topographical perspective

Regions of the default mode network (DMN) are distributed across the brain and show patterns of activity that have linked them to various different functional domains. In this Perspective, Smallwood and colleagues consider how an examination of the topographic characteristics of the DMN can shed light on its contribution to cognition.
