Name this network: Addressing huge inconsistencies across studies
Entrenched practices have stymied efforts to build a universal taxonomy of functional brain networks. But a new tool to standardize brain-imaging findings could bring us a step closer.

Rethinking ‘noise’ in autism research
Lucina Uddin says researchers should be cautious when analyzing their findings, because 'noisy' data may actually hold important information about brain functioning.
Peer review of methods before study’s onset may benefit science
'Registered reports' — a type of paper in which experimental protocols are reviewed before the study begins — may make neuroscience studies more rigorous and reproducible.
