Spatial Topography of Individual-Specific Cortical Networks Predicts Human Cognition, Personality and Emotion (2017, background): “Given the strong link between task fMRI and rs-fMRI (Smith et al., 2009; Mennes et al., 2010; Cole et al., 2014; Krienen et al., 2014; Bertolero et al., 2015; Yeo et al., 2015a; Tavor et al., 2016; Gordon et al., 2017c), this might not seem surprising.”
The Human Thalamus Is an Integrative Hub for Functional Brain Networks (2016, methodology): “Cortical connector hubs are proposed to integrate information across segregated functional brain networks (Bertolero et al., 2015; Cole et al., 2013; van den Heuvel and Sporns, 2013; Yeo et al., 2015).”
Global Signal Regression Strengthens Association between Resting-State Functional Connectivity and Behavior (2019, methodology): “RSFC has been widely used to delineate large-scale brain networks and explore human brain organization (Fox et al., 2005; Seeley et al., 2007; Smith et al., 2009; Bertolero et al., 2015; Eickhoff et al., 2018).”
The Segregation and Integration of Distinct Brain Networks and Their Relationship to Cognition (2016, background): “…for cognitive function (Friston, 2009; Sporns, 2013; Deco et al., 2015), existing literature relating network reconfiguration across tasks rarely interprets findings within this dual segregation-integration framework (but see Bertolero et al., 2015; Crossley et al., 2013; Yeo et al., 2015).”
Plug-and-Play VQA: Zero-shot VQA by Conjoining Large Pretrained Models with Zero Training (2022, background): “Research in cognitive science and neuroscience suggests that the human cognitive system is largely modular (Shettleworth, 2012; Bertolero et al., 2015).”
Communication dynamics in complex brain networks (2017, background): “For example, as discussed earlier, the modular and core–periphery organization of many structural brain networks constrains the possible patterns of signal flow and the ease with which information can be distributed and shared 20,29,151 (FIG.”
Frontoparietal Hubs Leverage Probabilistic Representations and Integrated Uncertainty to Guide Cognitive Flexibility (2025, unknown): “However, connectivity patterns alone do not reveal the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms of integration.”
Hierarchical consciousness: the Nested Observer Windows model (2024, unknown): “Whole-brain analysis in functional MRI uses network properties to quantify modularity (Bertolero et al. 2015, Gallen and D’Esposito 2019); however, this previous work conflates synchrony and coherence.”
Resting-state EEG connectome topology and social norm processing in healthy young adults (2026, unknown): “…emerge not only from local-global interactions but also from the balance between the local specialisation and distributed integration of the functional connectome that shapes how information is exchanged across subsystems (Park and Friston 2013; Bertolero et al. 2015; Bassett and Sporns 2017 ).”
