The title of the article discussed in this episode is Large-Scale Brain Systems and Subcortical Relationships: The Vertically Organized Brain.Here's the abstract from the article:This article reviews the vertical organization of the brain. The cortico-basal ganglia and the cerebro-cerebellar circuitry systems are described as fundamental to cognitive and behavioral control. The basal ganglia anticipate and guide implicitly learned behaviors on the basis of experienced reward outcomes. The cerebellar-cortical network antici- pates sensorimotor outcomes, allowing behaviors to be adapted across changing settings and across contexts. These vertically organized systems, operating together, represent the underpinning of cognitive control. The medial temporal lobe system, and its development, is also reviewed in order to better understand how brain systems interact fo both implicit and explicit cognitive controlTo read along, download the article here!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Listen in to hear Caleb and Bridger's discussion on an article from Koziol and colleagues entitled "The Small-World Organization of Large-Scale Brain Systems and Relationships with Subcortical Structures". This article is the second in a series of four where the authors dive into the mysterious world of the brain and our emergent mind. Moving away from a modular or "brain parts" understanding of the brain, the authors focus on the large, network oriented interconnection between brain systems. This episode includes a concluding discussion on the second article. Here's the abstract from the article: Brain structure and function is characterized by large-scale brain systems. However, each system has its own ‘‘small-world'' organization, with sub-regions, or ‘‘hubs,'' that have varying degrees of specialization for certain cognitive and behavioral processes. This article describes this small-world organization, and the concepts of functional specialization and functional integration are defined and explained through practical examples. We also describe the development of large-scale brain systems and this small-world organization as a sensitive, protracted process, vulnerable to a variety of influences that generate neurodevelopmental disorders.To read along, download the article here: https://sci-hub.se/10.1080/21622965.2014.946803See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
