A novel animal model of economic decision-making captures complex patterns of choice behavior similar to those of humans, opening the way for mechanistic studies to probe the neural basis for this important form of executive function.

Multimodal neuroimaging was used to study the effect of threat on spontaneous brain activity and functional connectivity, and demonstrated that threat increases both activity and connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus, a key node in the frontoparietal attention network.

Anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness both reduce the capacity of the human brain to integrate information, specifically targeting interactions within a shared circuit of regions in the brain’s default network.

The ability to discriminate highly overlapping events in memory is a multistage process supported by a network of brain regions and neocortical–hippocampal interactions.

Humans spontaneously reverse learned associations while macaque monkeys do not, providing a minimal test of a distinctive human capacity for symbolic representations.

Lesion analyses in right hemisphere stroke patients reveal the crucial role of the right anterior and posterior insula in the perception of affective touch.

The structural integrity of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus was identified as a neuroimaging predictor of chronic back pain, with potential for clinical translation.

Transcranial low-intensity ultrasound applied in block design and at low duty cycles and longer sonication durations can safely and non-invasively suppress human motor-evoked potentials, possibly via GABA-A-mediated inhibitory pathways.
