NASCAR: new method maps overlapping brain networks in the human subcortex beyond conventional limits
bttyeo · x · 2026-10-03
Andrew Li and colleagues introduce NASCAR, a method designed to disentangle overlapping, correlated brain networks in the human subcortex. It maps and fractionates large-scale networks, recovering structure that conventional fMRI analysis cannot resolve, offering a new tool for studying functional organization in regions like the thalamus and brainstem.
