The paper quantifies consciousness states using entropy across pharmacological and clinical fMRI data, finding a shared entropic axis spanning from low-entropy anaesthesia to high-entropy psychedelic and schizophrenia states.

This study shows that cognitive co-activation dominates fMRI synchrony in the awake brain but is replaced by anatomical and molecular constraints during consciousness perturbations.

This paper identifies neural correlates of individual and shared experiences using fMRI data from naturalistic storytelling under varying anaesthesia levels.

This study investigates thalamic nuclei involvement in consciousness loss during anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness using functional neuroimaging, identifying distinct connectivity patterns in specific nuclei.

The paper examines the development of small-world brain network architecture in full-term and preterm infants, finding that preterm infants show underdeveloped networks before term-equivalent age.

The paper examines functional connectivity gradients in the posterior precuneus during altered states of consciousness, finding continuous connectivity patterns that flatten in these states.

This study identifies dynamic structure-function correlations as robust markers of consciousness in humans across different unconscious states.

This paper proposes a synergistic global workspace model of consciousness using network science and information theory, showing that loss of consciousness correlates with reduced information integration in specific brain networks.

The paper shows that watching the same naturalistic movies leads to similar brain connectivity patterns across participants, with higher synchronization during engaging scenes.

This study shows that general anaesthesia reduces the uniqueness of human brain connectivity both between individuals and across species.

The paper evaluates 576 functional connectomics pipelines to identify those that minimize spurious discrepancies and motion confounds while being sensitive to inter-subject and experimental effects.

The paper shows that variability in responsiveness during propofol anaesthesia is linked to differences in brain structure and function of fronto-parietal networks, which can be predicted before sedation.

This study maps how pharmacological drugs alter brain function by linking neurotransmitter receptor distribution with drug-induced changes in functional MRI connectivity.

This study investigates how small world topology dynamics scale with decreasing levels of awareness, finding that subcortical areas show higher predictive power for awareness levels.

This study shows that full-term and preterm infants at term-equivalent age have developed key brain networks associated with conscious awareness, but premature birth disrupts their development.

This study identifies common neural mechanisms underlying anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness by simulating brain dynamics with a whole-brain model incorporating GABA receptor density and structural connectomes.

The paper investigates algorithmic and process complexity measures in functional MRI data from propofol sedation, showing they correlate with sedation levels and support a complexity-based hypothesis of consciousness.

The paper investigates how functional differentiation between auditory and fronto-parietal systems during external stimulation relates to consciousness and verbal intelligence.
