A recent study suggests that triggering specific, sleep-like brain wave patterns in awake mice can provide the brain with the restorative benefits usually only gained by actually falling asleep. The ...

Due to decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex, which governs logic, and overactivity in the amygdala, which governs emotion, dream spaces possess a unique topology based on 'emotional scales' and ...

The neuronal networks of the brain can sustain a variety of brain states with different activity patterns, functional connectivity and dynamics. Their activity states largely correspond to different ...

The cerebral cortex is spontaneously active, and the excitability of its neurons fluctuates 1. As a consequence, responses of visual cortex neurons to successively presented, physically unchanged ...

Multi-frequency band VMHC analysis was performed using DPARSF software (Figure 1). First, we extracted the specifically frequency-band time series of each voxel, including slow-4 and slow-5 in one ...
