Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?

The APC at @imagingneurosci.bsky.social is now only $1400! Keep the great submissions coming 🧠 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social
Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date.
We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400.
Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

More on the Action Mode Network!
We have argued that the brain’s Action Mode Network controls functions required for goal-directed behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Now, in new work, we show that AMN contains distinct subnetworks for making decisions, implementing actions, and processing feedback. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

@samkrimmelneuro.bsky.social shows the utility of Precision Functional Mapping deep into the brainstem! The red nucleus turns out to be much more potentially interesting for cognitive neuroscience than anyone thought, including connectivity to the Somato-Cognitive Action Network.
It's shocking how little is known about the brainstem red nucleus. In our new paper “The human brainstem’s red nucleus was upgraded to support goal-directed action” out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social we show that current thinking on the red nucleus is in need of a serious upgrade. rdcu.be/ehbOy
