The triple junction of the North America, Cocos, and Caribbean plates. What we know, what we don’t by Marco Guzmán-Speziale

“… We present a summary of the tectonic elements of the North America-Caribbean-Cocos triple junction area. In the vicinity of the triple junction, displacement related to the North America-Caribbean plate boundary takes place along the left-lateral Motagua-Polochic fault system, and convergence between the Cocos and the other two plates occurs along the Middle America trench. …”

Altered brain network dynamics in motor functional neurological disorders: the role of the right temporo-parietal junction by Samantha Weber, Janine Bühler, Thomas A. W. Bolton, Selma Aybek

“…Patient subgroups differed regarding coupling between the rTPJ and the attention network and DMN. rTPJ dynamic network alterations might reflect hampered flexibility in brain state switching and altered self-referential processes linked to impaired motor planning and execution, which seem to also differ between symptom types, indicating a potential phenotypic biomarker.…”
