This study examines how human neurons respond to single-pulse electrical stimulation, finding that most neurons show firing rate suppression, with differences based on cell type and stimulation distance.

This study investigates how mTOR inhibition reverses glioma-induced changes in excitatory neurons, showing effects on mRNA, dendritic spines, and neuronal activity.

The paper uses intracranial-EEG and video data to show that brain regions switch between spectral states in sync, reflecting naturalistic behaviors and forming functional networks.

The paper shows that interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are bidirectional traveling waves that follow the same path and direction as ictal discharges, suggesting they originate outside the seizure focus.

The paper compares loss of consciousness mechanisms in focal impaired awareness and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures using intracranial EEG data from patients.

The paper develops a novel spike sorting method to analyze neuronal activity during human seizures, finding that recruited neurons show altered action potential waveforms compared to non-recruited tissue.

The paper develops a method to estimate neural integration periods in human auditory cortex and shows integration periods increase with cortical hierarchy, correlating with selectivity for acoustic features and sound categories.
