Information processing in the primate visual system: an integrated systems perspective

DC Van Essen, CH Anderson, DJ Felleman - Science, 1992 - science.org
The primate visual system contains dozens of distinct areas in the cerebral cortex and
several major subcortical structures. These subdivisions are extensively interconnected in a …

The human brain is intrinsically organized into dynamic, anticorrelated functional networks

…, M Corbetta, DC Van Essen… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
During performance of attention-demanding cognitive tasks, certain regions of the brain
routinely increase activity, whereas others routinely decrease activity. In this study, we …

The WU-Minn human connectome project: an overview

DC Van Essen, SM Smith, DM Barch, TEJ Behrens… - Neuroimage, 2013 - Elsevier
The Human Connectome Project consortium led by Washington University, University of
Minnesota, and Oxford University is undertaking a systematic effort to map macroscopic human …

A multi-modal parcellation of human cerebral cortex

…, M Jenkinson, SM Smith, DC Van Essen - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or parcellation)
of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal map has …

Distributed hierarchical processing in the primate cerebral cortex.

DJ Felleman, DC Van Essen - Cerebral cortex (New York, NY: 1991), 1991 - europepmc.org
In recent years, many new cortical areas have been identified in the macaque monkey. The
number of identified connections between areas has increased even more dramatically. We …

Parcellations and hemispheric asymmetries of human cerebral cortex analyzed on surface-based atlases

DC Van Essen, MF Glasser, DL Dierker… - Cerebral …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We report on surface-based analyses that enhance our understanding of human cortical
organization, including its convolutions and its parcellation into many distinct areas. The surface …

Functional and structural mapping of human cerebral cortex: solutions are in the surfaces

DC Van Essen, HA Drury, S Joshi… - Proceedings of the …, 1998 - National Acad Sciences
The human cerebral cortex is notorious for the depth and irregularity of its convolutions and
for its variability from one individual to the next. These complexities of cortical geography …

The minimal preprocessing pipelines for the Human Connectome Project

…, S Jbabdi, M Webster, JR Polimeni, DC Van Essen… - Neuroimage, 2013 - Elsevier
The Human Connectome Project (HCP) faces the challenging task of bringing multiple
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities together in a common automated preprocessing …

Large-scale automated synthesis of human functional neuroimaging data

T Yarkoni, RA Poldrack, TE Nichols, DC Van Essen… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
The rapid growth of the literature on neuroimaging in humans has led to major advances in
our understanding of human brain function but has also made it increasingly difficult to …

The Human Connectome Project: a data acquisition perspective

DC Van Essen, K Ugurbil, E Auerbach, D Barch… - Neuroimage, 2012 - Elsevier
