Echoes from Intrinsic Connectivity Networks in the Subcortex
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-27)Decades of research have greatly improved our understanding of intrinsic human brain organization in terms of functional networks and the transmodal hubs within the cortex at which they converge. However, substrates of multinetwork integration in the human subcortex are relatively uncharted. Here, we leveraged recent advances in subcortical atlasing and ultra-high field (7 T) imaging optimized for ... -
