This paper measures neural timescales in human iEEG data and links them to cortical hierarchy and network topology, showing that timescales increase with hierarchical position and are modulated by sleep stages.

This study records single neuron activity in humans during emergence from propofol anesthesia, showing increased firing rates and shifts in brain activity patterns in medial temporal regions before motor response to verbal command.

This study shows that acute DOI exposure increases cortical firing rates and alters functional network structure in rat cultures, with ketanserin + DOI reducing bursting while preserving path-length shortening.

This study examines EEG changes during psilocybin and midazolam co-administration, finding increased beta power and decreased spectral exponent early on, and increased LZCn and spectral exponent later, suggesting psilocybin effects persist despite midazolam.

This study examines how isoflurane affects synaptic responses to cortico-cortical and thalamocortical stimulation in the auditory cortex, finding greater suppression of cortico-cortical responses.

This study shows that a single exercise session increases hippocampal ripples and enhances their coupling with cortical networks in humans.

This study compares brain activity during dexmedetomidine and propofol anesthesia to natural sleep using iEEG, finding dexmedetomidine more similar to sleep in certain metrics.

The paper reports single neuron responses in the human insula to simple sounds during passive listening, showing frequency tuning and shorter response durations compared to auditory cortex.

This study investigates how midazolam affects memory and subjective experience of psilocybin, suggesting memory plays a role in its therapeutic effects.

This paper improves MVAR model estimation for electrophysiological data by incorporating fMRI priors, reducing data needs and improving model accuracy.

The paper identifies common neural signatures of consciousness loss and recovery during sleep and anesthesia using intracranial EEG and diffusion map embedding.

This paper develops methods to estimate high-dimensional MVAR models from intracranial electrophysiological data using dimensionality reduction techniques, showing effectiveness with limited data.

The paper maps auditory cortical networks using resting state intracranial electrophysiology, revealing hierarchical organization across spatial scales and frequency-dependent hub identities.

The paper investigates corticothalamic gating of auditory thalamocortical transmission in mice, finding that corticothalamic feedback inhibition controls population responses to sensory stimuli.

This study examines how lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects electrophysiological activity in mice, linking inflammation to changes in slow wave activity and potential delirium mechanisms.

This paper describes a protocol to study how volatile anesthetics affect evoked responses in brain slices using optogenetic activation of afferent pathways.

This study examines how isoflurane affects synaptic responses in different cell types and cortical layers in mouse neocortex.

The paper examines cortical functional connectivity during sleep and anesthesia to identify changes in arousal states and suggests common mechanisms of loss of consciousness.

This study shows propofol reduces evoked power and impairs feedforward connectivity in the cortical hierarchy during TMS.

This study identifies Pappaa as a regulator of cone synapse structure and function that specifically mediates light offset signaling in zebrafish retinas.

This study uses intracranial electrophysiology to investigate auditory novelty processing in humans, showing distinct spatiotemporal patterns of cortical activation across time scales.

The paper shows PV+ interneurons enhance spatio-temporal spike patterns in pyramidal cells during network bursts but do not improve stimulus-related timing.

The paper investigates how global state changes affect mutual information in the thalamocortical network during unconsciousness, finding non-reciprocal reductions in mutual information and increased cortical synchrony.

This study investigates whether anesthetics impair stimulus representation in auditory cortex by analyzing mutual information in rats, finding no consistent impairment across different anesthetic agents.
