Neuroimaging research has been at the forefront of concerns regarding the failure of
experimental findings to replicate. In the study of brain-behavior relationships, past failures …

Since the second half of the twentieth century, intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG),
including both electrocorticography (ECoG) and stereo-electroencephalography (sEEG) …

Interactions with large language models (LLMs) have led to the suggestion that these
models may soon be conscious. From the perspective of neuroscience, this position is …

Understanding how individual memories are reactivated during sleep is essential in
theorizing memory consolidation. Here, we employed the targeted memory reactivation …

Wakefulness, non-rapid eye-movement (NREM) and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep differ
from each other along three dimensions: behavioral, phenomenological, physiological …

Sleep is a universal, essential biological process. It is also an invaluable window on
consciousness. It tells us that consciousness can be lost but also that it can be regained, in …

Electrical stimulation of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) has the potential to uncover causal
circuit mechanisms underlying memory function. However, little is known about how MTL …

Conscious perception is greatly diminished during sleep, but the underlying circuit
mechanism is poorly understood. We show that cortical ignition—a brain process shown to …

Body temperature rhythm serves as a crucial bridge connecting thermal environment and
sleep rhythm. While previous studies have extensively confirmed the significant effects of …

A critical component of anesthesia is the loss of sensory perception. Propofol is the most
widely used drug for general anesthesia, but the neural mechanisms of how and when it …
