Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and
promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) …

In this Opinion article, we discuss how integrated information theory accounts for several
aspects of the relationship between consciousness and the brain. Integrated information …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely
between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. Recent results in humans and …

The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain
need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis …

The neural correlates of optimal states for signal detection task performance are largely
unknown. One hypothesis holds that optimal states exhibit tonically depolarized cortical …

Deep learning has led to significant advances in artificial intelligence, in part, by adopting
strategies motivated by neurophysiology. However, it is unclear whether deep learning …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …
