This study uses closed-loop auditory stimulation to enhance NREM sleep oscillations in older adults and links fast spindle activity to individual memory improvements.

The paper identifies two neuroanatomical subtypes of Long COVID with distinct structural brain patterns and cognitive profiles using MRI and cognitive assessments.

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 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.

This paper improves short-channel regression for mapping resting-state functional connectivity networks using fNIRS by accounting for temporal heterogeneity in scalp hemodynamics, increasing agreement with physiological recordings by 70% on average.

This study shows that the aperiodic EEG component better reflects consciousness levels in disorders of consciousness than oscillatory components, and its changes under anesthesia correlate with recovery outcomes.

This study examines how prolonged aerobic and resistance exercise affect cognitive abilities in sedentary young adults, finding aerobic exercise improves memory and reasoning, with cardiovascular fitness metrics predicting these improvements.

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 examines cognitive training effects on white matter changes and transfer to similar or different tasks, finding no transfer but distinct white matter modifications in trained groups.

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 how neural representations of music during imagery compare to perception and how rhythmic motion affects these representations.

The paper investigates intrinsic neural timescales in different behavioural states and finds that sensory deficits are associated with prolonged neural timescales, while motor deficits do not show such changes.

The paper uses the critical Ising model to show that integrated information, a measure of consciousness, undergoes a phase transition at criticality, suggesting consciousness emerges from self-organized criticality.

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.

This study examines neural synchrony during movie watching in children with and without autism, finding reduced synchrony in ASD-diagnosed children in social cognition-related brain areas.

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

The paper identifies neural activation patterns during sleep spindles correlated with reasoning abilities using EEG-fMRI.
