The researcher identified a direct subcortical neural pathway for fear processing, challenging the prevailing view that all emotional signals require cortical mediation.
The researcher established a foundational framework for understanding causal interactions between fronto-parietal central executive and default-mode networks in humans.
The researcher authored a seminal, highly cited review clarifying resting-state fMRI fundamentals for nonexperts, establishing a foundational reference that has been widely adopted by independent scholars.
