Sleep spindles are burstlike signals in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the sleeping
mammalian brain and electrical surface correlates of neuronal oscillations in thalamus. As …

The brain is a complex, multiscale dynamical system composed of many interacting regions.
Knowledge of the spatiotemporal organization of these interactions is critical for establishing …

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …

The theory on the glymphatic convection mechanism of cerebrospinal fluid holds that
cardiac pulsations in part pump cerebrospinal fluid from the peri-arterial spaces through the …

The need to breathe links the mammalian olfactory system inextricably to the respiratory
rhythms that draw air through the nose. In rodents and other small animals, slow oscillations …

Anatomical tracing, human clinical data, and stimulation functional imaging have firmly
established the major role of the (neo-) cerebellum in cognition and emotion …

Abstract Recording infraslow brain signals (< 0.1 Hz) with microelectrodes is severely
hampered by current microelectrode materials, primarily due to limitations resulting from …

Fast fMRI enables the detection of neural dynamics over timescales of hundreds of
milliseconds, suggesting it may provide a new avenue for studying subsecond neural …

Graphene active sensors have demonstrated promising capabilities for the detection of
electrophysiological signals in the brain. Their functional properties, together with their …

Working memory (WM) is the active retention and processing of information over a few
seconds and is considered an essential component of cognitive function. The reduced WM …
