IgG Propels Atherosclerosis by Noncanonically Activating Macrophages

This study identifies IgG's pro-atherogenic role through noncanonical activation of macrophages, independent of its classical function, by acting as a TLR4 ligand and promoting inflammation.

Attention-based frontal-posterior coupling for visual consciousness in the human brain

The paper investigates how goal-directed attention contributes to conscious perception by analyzing intracranial EEG data and a psychophysical paradigm, finding that attention-based coupling between frontal and posterior brain regions is key to consciousness.

Two Stages of Speech Envelope Tracking in Human Auditory Cortex Modulated by Speech Intelligibility

This study identifies two stages of envelope tracking in human auditory cortex, with high-γ power reflecting fast processing and θ phase correlating with speech intelligibility.

Anticorrelated inter-network electrophysiological activity varies dynamically with attentional performance and behavioral states

The paper examines dynamic anticorrelated activity between brain networks during attentional tasks and rest, finding time-lagged interactions linked to attentional performance.

Dynamic brain network changes in resting-state reflect neuroplasticity: molecular and cognitive evidence

The paper identifies genes associated with dynamic brain network changes and links them to neuroplasticity processes, showing that temporal variability predicts cognitive outcomes.
