We experience a rich variety of emotions in daily life, and a fundamental goal of affective
neuroscience is to determine how these emotions are represented in the brain. Recent …

Sensory information is processed in the visual cortex in distinct streams of different
anatomical and functional properties. A comparable organizational principle has also been …

Topographic maps form a critical feature of cortical organization, yet are poorly described
with respect to their microstructure in the living aging brain. We acquired quantitative …
