Noninvasive functional neuroimaging, as an important tool for basic neuroscience research
and clinical diagnosis, continues to face the need of improving the spatial and temporal …

The last decade has seen an unprecedented increase in the use of functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) to understand the neural basis of cognition and behavior. Being …

Most functional brain imaging studies use task-induced hemodynamic responses to infer
underlying changes in neuronal activity. In addition to increases in cerebral blood flow and …

In the present study, we applied the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm to perform
multivariate classification of brain states from whole functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Neurons within a small (a few cubic millimeters) region of visual cortex respond to stimuli
within a restricted region of the visual field. Previous studies have characterized the …

Clinical and experimental data indicate that most acupuncture clinical results are mediated
by the central nervous system, but the specific effects of acupuncture on the human brain …

The six cortical layers have distinct anatomical and physiological properties, like different
energy use and different feedforward and feedback connectivity. It is not known if and how …

Human medial parietal cortex (MPC) is implicated in multiple cognitive processes including
memory recall, visual scene processing and navigation, and is a core component of the …

Context Understanding the mechanisms underlying nicotine addiction to develop more
effective treatment is a public health priority. Research consistently shows that nicotine …

Objective Activation in a network of language-related regions has been reported during
auditory verbal hallucinations. It remains unclear, however, how this activation is triggered …
