The rapid and coordinated propagation of neural activity across the brain provides the
foundation for complex behavior and cognition. Technical advances across neuroscience …

Brain diseases, including neurodegenerative, cerebrovascular and neuropsychiatric
diseases, have posed a deleterious threat to human health and brought a great burden to …

During moments involving selective attention, the thalamus orchestrates the preferential
processing of prioritized information by coordinating rhythmic neural activity within a …

For decades, numerous seminal studies have built our understanding of the locus coeruleus
(LC), the vertebrate brain's principal noradrenergic system. Containing a numerically small …

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been proposed to activate
the locus ceruleus-noradrenaline (LC-NA) system. However, previous studies failed to find …

Cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by disturbances in neuronal
circuits of the brain underpinned by synapse loss, neuronal dysfunction and neuronal death …

Primary prevention trials have shifted their focus to the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease
(AD). Autopsy data indicates that the neuromodulatory subcortical systems'(NSS) nuclei are …

Simple Summary Over the past few decades, advances in electroencephalography (EEG)
recordings and brain stimulation has permitted an unprecedented view of how specific brain …

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a neurostimulatory technique
hypothesised to enhance central noradrenaline. Currently, there is scarce evidence in …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is thought to affect neural activity by recruiting brain-wide
release of neuromodulators. VNS is used in treatment-resistant epilepsy, and is increasingly …
