White-matter disconnection shapes distributed cortical spectral dynamics after stroke

This study shows that structural disconnection after stroke leads to electrophysiological changes in both perilesional and structurally disconnected cortical regions, correlating with neurological severity.

Thermodynamics of consciousness: A non-invasive perturbational framework

This paper introduces a non-invasive framework linking consciousness measures to non-equilibrium thermodynamics by analyzing FDT violations in humans and rodents across different states of consciousness.

Magnetoelectric Microrobots for Spinal Cord Injury Regeneration

This paper introduces NPCbots, magnetoelectric microrobots for spinal cord injury repair, showing improved neural regeneration and behavior in zebrafish models.

Slow waves generation and propagation in a model of brain lesions

This paper models post-lesional slow waves in brain networks, identifying mechanisms for their generation and propagation.

Modulation of slow and fast oscillations by direct current stimulation in the cerebral cortex in vitro

This study investigates how direct current stimulation modulates slow and fast cortical oscillations in vitro, finding precise effects on slow oscillations and variable effects on high frequencies.

Cholinergic heterogeneity facilitates synchronization and information flow in a whole-brain model

This study uses a whole-brain model to show that cholinergic heterogeneity enhances synchronization and information flow in brain dynamics.

H-current modulation of cortical Up and Down states

This study shows that reducing h-current in cortical networks increases neuronal responsiveness and alters slow oscillation dynamics by extending both Up and Down states and reducing oscillation frequency.

Multiscale dynamics underlying neocortical slow oscillations

This study investigates the laminar organization of slow oscillations in anesthetized rat cortex, finding that Up states originate in layer 6 and exhibit hysteresis influenced by columnar circuitry.

Attractor competition enriches cortical dynamics during awakening from anesthesia

The paper shows that cortical dynamics during awakening from anesthesia involve a transition from slow oscillations to infra-slow alternations, driven by attractor competition in neuronal networks.

Control of brain state transitions with light

This study uses a photoswitchable muscarinic agonist to modulate brain rhythms with light, transforming slow wave activity into higher frequency patterns in vitro and in anesthetized mice.

Slow waves form expanding, memory-rich mesostates steered by local excitability in fading anesthesia

The paper investigates network features of slow-wave activity under fading anesthesia in mice, finding that local excitability changes drive metastable patterns without altering connectivity.

Modulation of cortical slow oscillatory rhythm by GABAB receptors: an experimental and computational study

This study investigates how GABAB receptor modulation affects slow oscillatory rhythms in cortical networks through combined experimental and computational approaches.
