Music facilitates sleep initiation in adults with sleep-onset insomnia: The role of neural synchronization

This study shows that music helps adults with sleep-onset insomnia fall asleep faster, but neural synchronization to the beat of the music is not the main reason for this effect.

Efficient ageing: Simulated lesion of the structural connectome reveals optimised decline in the healthy ageing brain

The paper simulates lesions in age-sensitive white-matter regions to show that healthy ageing involves a selective reconfiguration of structural connectivity rather than uniform decline.

Resilience to persistent pain is characterized by stable periodic and increased aperiodic cortical activity

This study shows that cognitive-motor training, like musical expertise, shapes cortical dynamics during pain, leading to more resilient pain responses and improved prediction of pain severity through aperiodic EEG features.

Network reconfiguration preserves prediction error signallingin the aging brain

The paper investigates how predictive processing networks change with age, finding that aging redistributes resources across subsystems rather than uniformly weakening them.
