This study uses human brain assembloids to model how a genetic epilepsy syndrome affects cortical and hippocampal networks differently, revealing distinct dysfunction patterns.

The paper introduces an AI framework to simulate and predict mechanisms of consciousness and disorders, validated with neurophysiological data.

The paper identifies a preserved cross-frequency cortical-thalamic communication channel during conscious states and shows its disruption in unconsciousness and enhancement in psychedelic states.

The paper identifies the edge-of-chaos critical point as the state of cortical dynamics during conscious states and shows it is disrupted during unconsciousness.
