Age-related differences in behavior-driven activity in LEC but not MEC
The hippocampus integrates spatial information from medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) with non-spatial sensory information from lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) to form episodic memories. While age-related memory dysfunction is linked to sev...

Temporal brain dynamics and fluid reasoning after extreme prematurity
Extremely preterm (EPT) birth (<28 weeks’ gestation) disrupts brain maturation and increases later neurodevelopmental and mental health vulnerability. Temporal irreversibility quantifies directional brain dynamics, capturing the temporal...

Cortico-striatal network architecture shapes rhythmic biases in music
Why is human music rhythmically structured the way it is? One hypothesis is that the human brain is intrinsically wired to favor specific rhythmic organizations. To test this, we collected diffusion and resting-state functional MRI (fMRI...

Altered connectivity and network efficiency in preterm infants
Preterm birth is associated with altered maturation of large-scale functional brain networks during the neonatal period. Acquisition and preprocessing variability across neonatal resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) studies limits cross-site com...

Distinct electroencephalography alpha-band rhythms map macroscale brain gradients
Brain gradients provide a low-dimensional framework for describing cortical organization, linking functional connectivity, anatomy, development, and transcriptional architecture. Whether this macroscale organization also structures fast ...

Neural signatures of serial order access in verbal working memory
Serial order working memory allows information to be maintained as structured sequences, yet the neural formats supporting access to serial position remain unclear. Behavioral evidence suggests that temporal order can be recoded into spa...

Premotor cortices differentially influence contralateral motor cortex
Dorsal (PMd) and ventral (PMv) premotor cortices can modulate contralateral primary motor cortex (M1) excitability, but their distinct interhemispheric influence via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) remains unclear. Single-pulse T...

Dopamine synchronizes hippocampal-prefrontal networks
Interactions among brain networks support cognition and behavior. Oscillatory activity may contribute by coordinating distant neuronal populations, and identifying mechanisms that dynamically modulate this connectivity is crucial for und...

Lower engagement of cognitive control in children on ChatGPT
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can scaffold idea generation, but how it engages control, attention, and memory systems in the developing versus mature brain, and how this relates to creativity, remains unclear. We compared 6–7-y...

Gratitude mediates the link of precuneus volume to depression in older women
Depression in older people is a major contributor to global disease burden and functional impairment. While trait gratitude, a stable tendency to appreciate others’ help, has been shown to alleviate depressive symptoms across populations...
