The paper investigates how thalamic spindles and upstates coordinate cortico-cortical and hippocampo-cortical co-ripples in humans during NREM sleep, finding that thalamic ripples do not directly synchronize co-ripples but spindles and upstates do.

The paper examines inter-individual variability in dorsal stream activation during word production using intracerebral recordings from epileptic patients.

This study identifies and differentiates human hippocampal sharpwave-ripples (HC-SWR) from epileptiform activity during NREM sleep, showing similar characteristics to rodents but with lower frequency.

This study identifies the cortical and thalamic generators of the human alpha rhythm, showing it originates in higher-order cortex and propagates to lower-order regions and thalamus.

The paper identifies theta bursts preceding and spindles following cortical and thalamic downstates in human NREM sleep, suggesting theta bursts may trigger downstates and aid memory consolidation.
