Topic: Cognitive behavior

Understanding the brain-behavior relationship is a central goal in neuroscience. Recent neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that individual differences in both brain anatomy and the connectivity between regions are predictive of behavior. We hypothesize that behavior can also be predicted by how the same brain region, in different individuals, encodes information. As an analogy, athletic ability is not only related to the size of the components of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems or the strength of the connections between components, it is also related to the proficiency of th
