Diffusion MRI Tractography Predicts Electrophysiological Connectivity and Explains Spectral Signatures of Evoked Potentials in the Human Brain

S. Shailja, Dian Lyu, Gustavo R. Chau, Leili Mortazavi, Erpeng Dai, Michael Zeineh, Vivek Buch, Karl A. Deisseroth, Josef Parvizi, Jennifer A. McNab

The paper uses diffusion MRI and SEEG to predict electrophysiological connectivity and explain evoked potential spectral signatures in the human brain.

Thalamocortical orchestration of human theory of mind

Runhao Lu, Emily J Davidson, Jonah Miller-Smith, Dian Lyu, Zoe Lusk, Prantik Kundu, Julien Doyon, Xiaoqian J. Chai, Boris C. Bernhardt, Gary R. Turner, R. Nathan Spreng

This paper investigates thalamocortical dynamics during theory of mind tasks using fMRI and sEEG, finding that the thalamus coordinates default network activity through phase-amplitude coupling without local activation.

Divergent Electrophysiological Responses in the Human Hippocampus During Verbal Memory Processing

Weichen Huang, Julian Quabs, Dian Lyu, Eric K. van Staalduinen, Sofia Pantis, Olivia Marais, James Stieger, Eugene Y. Liang, Gayle Karen Deutsch, Zihuai He, Vivek Buch, Josef Parvizi

The paper examines electrophysiological responses in the human hippocampus during verbal memory tasks and identifies distinct functional clusters associated with memory encoding and retrieval.

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

Dorottya Szocs, Dian Lyu, Andrea I. Luppi, Peter Coppola, Rebecca Woodrow, Guy B. Williams, Judith E Allanson, Pickard, Adrian Mark Owen, Lorina Naçi, David Krishna Menon, Emmanuel Andreas Stamatakis

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.

Electrophysiological Brain Connectivity and Subjective States Evoked by Electrical Stimulation of the Human Mediodorsal Thalamus

Sofia Pantis, Dian Lyu, Julian Quabs, Weichen Huang, Masaya Togo, Heejung Jung, Eric K. van Staalduinen, Lu Yang, Aidan Chan, Mina Fedor, Robert S. Fisher, Vivek Buch, Josef Parvizi

This study uses electrical stimulation of the human mediodorsal thalamus to investigate its impact on conscious experience and brain connectivity in epilepsy patients.

Diminished functional gradient of the precuneus during altered states of consciousness

Dian Lyu, R. Adapa, Robin Lester Carhart-Harris, Leor Roseman, Adrian Mark Owen, Lorina Naçi, David Krishna Menon, Emmanuel Andreas Stamatakis

The paper examines functional connectivity gradients in the posterior precuneus during altered states of consciousness, finding continuous connectivity patterns that flatten in these states.
