The lower-level retinotopic visual cortex of humans born without the optic chiasm comprises two independent neuronal populations and forms a versatile model for quantifying the relationship between the fMRI BOLD signal and neural response.

Two hour deprivation of vision in one eye transiently boosts the representation of the deprived eye (suppressing the non-deprived eye) in adult human V1 and along the ventral pathway.

Perceived and unperceived visual stimuli that are contrast matched to produce similar BOLD responses in V1 elicit clearly distinct changes in the neurochemical profile, implying a perception-related dissociation between neurometabolic and neurovascular response.

A quantitative forward model captures fMRI responses to chromatic stimuli in human primary visual cortex and quantifies how chromatic sensitivity changes with eccentricity.

The frequency content of resting-state fMRI signals contains information that can characterize and predict local variations in hemodynamic response timing which enhances the temporal precision of fMRI.

Reliability and predictability analyses beyond standard measures provide empirically based guidance regarding the design of fear conditioning tasks to assess individual differences and group-level inferences cross-sectionally and longitudinally.

The fMRI-BOLD signal in human early visual cortex reflects alertness and behavioral performance on the timescale of individual trials.

Locally recorded calcium events related to slow wave activity show a global cortical fMRI BOLD correlate, establishing a direct relation between a basic neurophysiological signal and the macroscopic perspective of pre-clinical fMRI.

Non-invasive manipulation of endogenously coupled neural rhythms enhances human control of social-emotional actions.

The structural characteristics of a circuit and its hierarchical dimensions are shown to influence regional time-series dynamics after targeted cellular-level manipulations.
