Improved Functionnectome by dissociating the contributions of white matter fiber classes to functional activation.
Published in Brain structure & function
Integrating the underlying brain circuit's structural and functional architecture is required to explore the functional organization of cognitive networks. In that regard, we recently introduced the Functionnectome. This structural-functional method combines an fMRI acquisition with tractography-derived white matter connectivity data to map cogniti...

Changes of cerebral functional connectivity induced by foot reflexology in a RCT
Abstract Non-Pharmacological Interventions (NPIs) are increasingly being introduced into healthcare, but their mechanisms are unclear. In this study, 30 healthy participants received foot reflexology (FR) and sham massage, and went through a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to evaluate NPIs effect on brain. Rs-fMRI reve...
Effects of skin moisturization on various aspects of touch showing differences with age and skin site.
Published in Scientific reports
The human body is encompassed by a thin layer of tissue, the skin, which is heterogenous and highly specialized to protect the body and encode interactions with the external world. There is a fundamental scientific drive to understand its function, coupled with the need to preserve skin as we age, which impacts on our physiological and psychologica...
Debates on the dorsomedial prefrontal/dorsal anterior cingulate cortex: insights for future research.
Published in Brain : a journal of neurology
The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex/dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dmPFC/dACC) is a brain area subject to many theories and debates over its function(s). Even its precise anatomical borders are subject to much controversy. In the past decades, the dmPFC/dACC has been associated with more than 15 different cognitive processes, which sometimes appea...
Statistical Field Theory and Neural Structures Dynamics IV: Field-Theoretic Formalism for Interacting Collective States
Building upon the findings presented in the first three papers of this series, we formulate an effective field theory for interacting collective states. These states consist of a large number of interconnected neurons and are distinguished by their intrinsic activity. The field theory encompasses an infinite set of fields, each of which characteriz...
Interpretable Prediction of Brain Activity during Natural Social Interactions using Multimodal Behavioral Signals
We present an analytical framework aimed at predicting the local brain activity of individuals during a conversation with another human or a humanoid robot based on multimodal recordings of their behavior. In this framework, we first extract high-level features from the raw behavioral recordings of both interlocutors. Then, classifiers are applied ...
