The drug ketamine has been extensively studied due to its use in anaesthesia, as a model of
psychosis and, most recently, its antidepressant properties. Understanding the physiology of …

The profound changes in perception and cognition induced by psychedelic drugs are
thought to act on several levels, including increased glutamatergic activity, altered functional …

Cortico-basal ganglia circuits are thought to play a crucial role in the selection and control of
motor behaviors and have also been implicated in the processing of motivational content …

Gamma oscillations are believed to underlie cognitive processes by shaping the formation of
transient neuronal partnerships on a millisecond scale. These oscillations are coupled to the …

The absence of companion may jeopardize mental health in social animals. Here, we tested
the hypothesis that social isolation impairs social recognition memory by altering the …

Objectives Coma state and loss of consciousness are associated with impaired brain
activity, particularly gamma oscillations, that integrate functional connectivity in neural …

Background: Understanding the effects of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R)
antagonist ketamine on brain function is of considerable interest due to the discovery of its …

Serotoninergic psychedelics induced extensive alterations in perception and cognition,
which has been attributable to its disruptive effect on oscillatory rhythms of prefrontal cortex …

Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) is proposed to play an essential role in coordinating the
processing of information on local and global scales. In recent years, the methods able to …

The sleep-wake cycle is constituted by three behavioral states: wakefulness (W), non-REM
(NREM) and REM sleep. These states are associated with drastic changes in cognitive …
