Sensory-motor cortices shape functional connectivity dynamics in the human brain
Nature Communications, 2021 Spontaneous fluctuations in brain activity exhibit complex spatiotemporal patterns across animal species. Here the authors show that sensory-motor regions and spatial heterogeneity in excitation-inhibition balance might shape multi-stability in brain ...

Objects seen as scenes: Neural circuitry for attending whole or parts
NeuroImage, 2020 Depending on our goals, we pay attention to the global shape of an object or to the local shape of its parts, since it’s difficult to do both at once. This typically effortless process can be impaired in disease.
