Depth‐Customizable 3D Electrode Array for Recording Functional Connectivity in the Brain
In this study, a depth‐adjustable, flexible 3D multi‐shank electrode array that produces precise neural recordings at various brain depths is developed. Integrating 2D flexible electrode arrays with a modular supporting board allowed the insertion depth to be easily adjusted without re‐fabrication.

Desflurane Selectively Suppresses Long-latency Cortical Neuronal Response to Flash in the Rat [PDF]
Background—The effect of inhalational anesthetics on sensory-evoked unit activity in the cerebral cortex has been controversial. Desflurane has desirable properties for in vivo neurophysiologic studies but its effect on cortical neuronal activity and ...

Abnormal evoked potentials in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy
Autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy is a new clinical entity and only a limited number of cases have been reported. Here we report the results of multimodal central conduction studies performed in a case of this disorder.A 72-year-old woman developed gradual ...

The value of somatosensory‐evoked potentials and bulbocavernosus reflex in patients with impotence
– In 14 normal male adults and 97 male patients having impotence alone or together with systematic and/or neuro‐psychiatric symptoms and signs, the somatosensory cerebral‐evoked potentials were obtained by glans penis stimulation (penile SEP); by ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Unmasking of latent synaptic connections in the cortex of the rat, elicited by a facial nerve transection [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury elicits plastic changes in the cortex, resulting in reorganization of the somatotopic representation maps. These processes begin within minutes after nerve injury, and last for weeks.

Neurophysiological correlates of the rubber hand illusion in late evoked and alpha/beta band activity [PDF]
The rubber hand illusion (RHI) allows insights into how the brain resolves conflicting multisensory information regarding body position and ownership. Previous neuroimaging studies have reported a variety of neurophysiological correlates of illusory hand

Abstract Objective Some children with Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) exhibit focal abnormalities similar to those observed in Self‐Limited Focal Epilepsies of Childhood (SeLFEs). It remains unclear whether this subgroup of patients may present distinct clinical characteristics or prognoses compared to those with CAE and generalized discharges alone ...

Effects of ethylenediamine – a putative GABA-releasing agent – on rat hippocampal slices and neocortical activity in vivo [PDF]
The simple diamine diaminoethane (ethylenediamine, EDA) has been shown to activate GABA receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems, partly by a direct action and partly by releasing endogenous GABA.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our
