Anxious vision: Trait-like visual cortical hyperactivity in trait anxiety

Zhaohan Wu, Yuqi You, Joshua A. Brown, Raymond J. Dolan, Wen Li

The paper identifies trait-like visual cortical hyperactivity in individuals with high trait anxiety, specific to the parvocellular pathway and linked to disrupted excitation-inhibition modulation.

Transcranial stimulation of alpha oscillations modulates brain state dynamics in sustained attention

Joshua A. Brown, Kevin J. Clancy, Chaowen Chen, Yimeng Zeng, Shaozheng Qin, Mingzhou Ding, Wen Li

This study uses HD-tACS and fMRI to show that alpha oscillations modulate dynamic brain states during sustained attention, enhancing attention and suppressing specific brain states.
