Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the posterior cingulate cortex in cognition and disease.

TL;DR: A novel model of the posterior cingulate cortex's function is synthesized into a model that influences attentional focus by 'tuning' whole-brain metastability and so adjusts how stable brain network activity is over time, and is tested within the framework of complex dynamic systems theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation after trauma: Microglial activation and traumatic brain injury

TL;DR: This study investigates whether an inflammatory response to TBI persists, and whether this response relates to structural brain abnormalities and cognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fractionating the Default Mode Network: Distinct Contributions of the Ventral and Dorsal Posterior Cingulate Cortex to Cognitive Control

TL;DR: Results provide evidence that the posterior cingulate cortex is involved in supporting internally directed thought, as the region is more highly integrated with the DMN at low task demands.
Journal ArticleDOI

White matter damage and cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury.

TL;DR: A stratified analysis based on the presence or absence of microbleeds revealed diffusion tensor imaging to be more sensitive than gradient-echo imaging to white matter damage and the location of white matter abnormality predicted cognitive function to some extent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Echoes of the Brain within the Posterior Cingulate Cortex

TL;DR: PCC subregions showed distinct patterns of activity modulation during the performance of an attentionally demanding task, suggesting that parts of the dorsal PCC interact with frontoparietal networks to regulate the balance between internally and externally directed cognition.
