Functional imaging studies have shown that certain brain regions, including posterior
cingulate cortex (PCC) and ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC), consistently show greater …

BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography (PET) studies of major depression have
revealed resting-state abnormalities in the prefrontal and cingulate cortices. Recently, fMRI has …

Variations in neural circuitry, inherited or acquired, may underlie important individual differences
in thought, feeling, and action patterns. Here, we used task-free connectivity analyses to …

Recent functional imaging studies have revealed coactivation in a distributed network of
cortical regions that characterizes the resting state, or default mode, of the human brain. Among …

Inhibitory control and performance monitoring are critical executive functions of the human
brain. Lesion and imaging studies have shown that the inferior frontal cortex plays an …

… anatomical regions of interest as well as inter-rater reliabilities have been reported for all
measures described in this study (Reiss et al., 1993a, b, 1995). The average intraclass correla…

Maturation of brain white matter pathways is an important factor in cognitive, behavioral,
emotional and motor development during childhood and adolescence. In this study, we …

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in reciprocal social
interaction, deficits in verbal and nonverbal communication, and a restricted repertoire of …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an increasingly popular technology for studying brain
function. NIRS presents several advantages relative to functional magnetic resonance …

BACKGROUND: Individuals with autism have severe difficulties in social communication
and relationships. Prior studies have suggested that abnormal connections between brain …
