We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

What happens in the human brain when we are unconscious? Despite substantial work, we
are still unsure which brain regions are involved and how they are impacted when …

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) of primates plays an important role in executive control,
but how it interacts with the rest of the cortex remains unclear. To address this, we densely …

Research has found that the vividness of conscious experience is related to brain dynamics.
Despite both being anaesthetics, propofol and ketamine produce different subjective states …

Background The wakeful brain can easily access and coordinate a large repertoire of
different states—dynamics suggestive of “criticality.” Anesthesia causes loss of criticality at …

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 …

Objective: Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) has recently been used to illuminate cross-
frequency coordination in neurophysiological activity of electroencephalogram. However …

Background Information integration and network science are important theories for
quantifying consciousness. However, whether these theories propose drug-or conscious …

A critical aspect of neuroscience is to establish whether and how brain networks evolved
across primates. To date, most comparative studies have used resting-state functional …

Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) plays an important role in anesthetic-induced
unconsciousness. The delta-alpha PAC signature during anesthetic-induced …
