TL;DR: The data suggest a balanced picture of brain organization in which sensory and motor networks are relatively specialized for information in their own domain, whereas a specific frontoparietal network acts as a domain-general “core” with the capacity to code many different aspects of a task.

TL;DR: The data suggest a flexible neural system that adjusts its representation of visual objects to preferentially encode stimulus features that are currently relevant for behavior, providing a neural mechanism for feature-selective attention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how heart rate variability (HRV) frequency measures were influenced by tonic noxious stimulation and how these variables related to participants' pain perception and to brain functional connectivity in regions known to play a role in both autonomic regulation and pain perception.

TL;DR: Examining human functional imaging data at an intermediate level of resolution quantifies the extent to which single voxels contributed to multiple neural codes, emphasising the flexibility of the MD regions to re-configure their responses and adaptively code relevant information across different tasks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) during fMRI, and tested for causal changes in information coding, showing that TMS decreases coding of relevant information across frontoparietal cortex and the impact is significantly stronger than any effect on irrelevant information, which is not statistically detectable.
