Executive control is a complex high-level cognitive function that relies on distributed brain
circuitry. We propose that the anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in …

Brain asymmetry has been observed in animals and humans in terms of structure, function
and behaviour. This lateralization is thought to reflect evolutionary, hereditary …

Hemispheric asymmetry is a cardinal feature of human brain organization. Altered brain
asymmetry has also been linked to some cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, the …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

Subcortical structures, which include the basal ganglia and parts of the limbic system, have
key roles in learning, motor control and emotion, but also contribute to higher-order …

Lateralized brain regions subserve functions such as language and visuospatial processing.
It has been conjectured that individuals may be left-brain dominant or right-brain dominant …

We report on surface-based analyses that enhance our understanding of human cortical
organization, including its convolutions and its parcellation into many distinct areas. The …

Probabilistic atlases of neuroanatomy are more representative of population anatomy than
single brain atlases. They allow anatomical labeling of the results of group studies in …

The development of cortical gray matter, white matter (WM) volume, and WM microstructure
in adolescence is beginning to be fairly well characterized by structural magnetic resonance …

An important issue in neuroscience is the characterization for the underlying architectures of
complex brain networks. However, little is known about the network of anatomical …
