Breathing plays a crucial role in shaping perceptual and cognitive processes by regulating
the strength and synchronisation of neural oscillations. Numerous studies have …

The risk of neurodegenerative disorders increases with age, due to reduced vascular
nutrition and impaired neural function. However, the interactions between cardiovascular …

Behaviors and their execution depend on the context and emotional state in which they are
performed. The contextual modulation of behavior likely relies on regions such as the …

More than a decade ago, the introduction of intubation and mechanical ventilation for
performing blood oxygen level–dependent functional MRI studies in the rodent brain …

Alcohol misuse and, particularly adolescent drinking, is a major public health concern. While
evidence suggests that adolescent alcohol use affects frontal brain regions that are …

Global signal fluctuations are a dominant source of variance in spontaneous BOLD activity.
These brain-wide signals co-occur with respiratory and other physiological changes. An …

Resting-state brain networks (RSNs) have been widely applied in health and disease, but
the interpretation of RSNs in terms of the underlying neural activity is unclear. To address …

How consciousness is lost in states such as sleep or anesthesia remains a mystery. To gain
insight into this phenomenon, concurrent recordings of electrophysiology signals in the …

The adoption and growth of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology,
especially through the use of Pearson's correlation (PC) for constructing brain functional …

It is often said that the body and the mind are connected. Yet, direct evidence of a
bidirectional link is elusive. We hypothesized a top-down effect of cognition on arousal, and …
