Is visual input during critical periods of development crucial for the emergence of the
fundamental topographical mapping of the visual cortex? And would this structure be retained …

Objectives:Recent fMRI studies have shown that it is possible to reliably identify the default‐mode
network (DMN) in the absence of any task, by resting‐state connectivity analyses in …

Pathological gambling (PG) shares clinical characteristics with substance-use disorders
and is thus discussed as a behavioral addiction. Recent neuroimaging studies on PG report …

While ischemic stroke reflects focal damage determined by the affected vascular territory,
clinical symptoms are often more complex and may be better explained by additional indirect …

Ovadia-Caro et al Resting-State fMRI in Stroke 2819 perfusion lesions. 12 In contrast, recent
developments in ASL may improve its applicability. 10 rs-fMRI, which also does not require …

Neuromodulatory non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques are experimental
therapies for improving motor function after stroke. The aim of neuromodulation is to enhance …

Clinical diagnosis of disorders of consciousness (DOC) caused by brain injury poses great
challenges since patients are often behaviorally unresponsive. A promising new approach …

Visual cortex organization is highly consistent across individuals. But to what degree does
this consistency depend on life experience, in particular sensory experience? In this study, we …

The functional organization of the brain can be represented as a low-dimensional space that
reflects its macroscale hierarchy. The dimensions of this space, described as connectivity …

Functional magnetic resonance data acquired in a task-absent condition (“resting state”)
require new data analysis techniques that do not depend on an activation model. Here, we …
