The neural correlates of shared and individual experience

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

A thalamic perspective of (un)consciousness in pharmacological and pathological states in humans

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.

Typical and disrupted small-world architecture and regional communication in full-term and preterm infants

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.

Reduced emergent character of neural dynamics in patients with a disrupted connectome

This study quantifies neural emergence in brain injury patients using functional MRI and shows reduced emergent dynamics correlate with structural connectome disruptions.

Network dynamics scale with levels of awareness

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.

Paths to Oblivion: Common Neural Mechanisms of Anaesthesia and Disorders of Consciousness

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.
