Open AccessGradients of neurotransmitter receptor expression in the macaque cortex
Dynamics and functions of neural circuits depend on interactions mediated by receptors. Therefore, a comprehensive map of receptor organization across cortical regions is needed. In this study, we used in vitr...

Open AccessBrain Reactions to Opening and Closing the Eyes: Salivary Cortisol and Functional Connectivity
This study empirically assessed the strength and duration of short-term effects induced by brain reactions to closing/opening the eyes on a few well-known resting-state networks. We also examined the associati...

Open AccessReceptor architecture of macaque and human early visual areas: not equal, but comparable
Existing cytoarchitectonic maps of the human and macaque posterior occipital cortex differ in the number of areas they display, thus hampering identification of homolog structures. We applied quantitative in v...

Open AccessSulcal morphology of ventral temporal cortex is shared between humans and other hominoids
Hominoid-specific brain structures are of particular importance in understanding the evolution of human brain structure and function, as they are absent in mammals that are widely studied in the extended neuro...

Open AccessMultimodal map** and analysis of the cyto- and receptorarchitecture of the human hippocampus
The human hippocampal formation is relevant for various aspects of memory and learning, and the different hippocampal regions are differentially affected by neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, the hippocamp...

Open AccessReceptor density pattern confirms and enhances the anatomic-functional features of the macaque superior parietal lobule areas
The macaque monkey superior parietal lobule (SPL) is part of a neuronal network involved in the integration of information from visual and somatosensory cortical areas for execution of reaching and gras** mo...

Open AccessCombining lifestyle risks to disentangle brain structure and functional connectivity differences in older adults
Lifestyle contributes to inter-individual variability in brain aging, but previous studies focused on the effects of single lifestyle variables. Here, we studied the combined and individual contributions of fo...

Receptor-driven, multimodal map** of the human amygdala
The human amygdala consists of subdivisions contributing to various functions. However, principles of structural organization at the cellular and molecular level are not well understood. Thus, we re-analyzed t...

Age- and function-related regional changes in cortical folding of the default mode network in older adults
Healthy aging is accompanied by changes in the functional architecture of the default mode network (DMN), e.g. a posterior to anterior shift (PASA) of activations. The putative structural correlate for this fu...

Cytoarchitecture of the human lateral occipital cortex: map** of two extrastriate areas hOc4la and hOc4lp
The microstructural correlates of the functional segregation of the human lateral occipital cortex are largely unknown. Therefore, we analyzed the cytoarchitecture of this region in ten human post-mortem brain...

Reconstructing a Series of Auto-Radiographic Images in Rat Brains
Quantitative in vitro receptor auto-radiographic studies in brains require the preparation of thin microtome sections. Due to the sectioning process, the spatial coherence is lost and needs to be recovered, if...

3D Reconstruction of Histological Rat Brain Images
Histology of brain sections provides the opportunity to analyse the brain structure on a microscopic level. Histological sections have to be aligned into a 3D reference volume to obtain a correct spatial local...

Anatomical Basis for Functional Specialization
The anatomical basis of functional specialization and segregation in the brain reaches from the molecular level to the level of complex neural systems. Here, we discuss five major topics, which highlight the i...

Receptor architecture of visual areas in the face and word-form recognition region of the posterior fusiform gyrus
Recently, two extrastriate visual areas on the posterior fusiform gyrus, areas FG1 and FG2, were identified based on cytoarchitectonical criteria (Caspers et al. in Brain Struct Funct 218:511–526, 2013a). They a...

Open AccessCytoarchitectonical analysis and probabilistic map** of two extrastriate areas of the human posterior fusiform gyrus
The human extrastriate visual cortex comprises numerous functionally defined areas, which are not identified in the widely used cytoarchitectonical map of Brodmann. The ventral part of the extrastriate cortex ...

The receptor architecture of the pigeons’ nidopallium caudolaterale: an avian analogue to the mammalian prefrontal cortex
The avian nidopallium caudolaterale is a multimodal area in the caudal telencephalon that is apparently not homologous to the mammalian prefrontal cortex but serves comparable functions. Here we analyzed bindi...
