Attention: The grounds of self‐regulated cognition
What is attention? Attention is a mechanism for canalizing information processing toward the conscious and voluntary regulation of actions, thoughts and emotions. Abstract Everyone knows what paying attention is, yet not everybody knows what this means in cognitive and brain function terms.

Degeneration of noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons occurs during the prodromal phase of Parkinson’s disease and contributes to a variety of non-motor symptoms, e.g. depression, anxiety and REM sleep behavior disorder.

Locus coeruleus pathology in progressive supranuclear palsy, and its relation to disease severity
The locus coeruleus is the major source of noradrenaline to the brain and contributes to a wide range of physiological and cognitive functions including arousal, attention, autonomic control, and adaptive behaviour.

The geometry of spontaneous spiking in neuronal networks [PDF]
The mathematical theory of pattern formation in electrically coupled networks of excitable neurons forced by small noise is presented in this work. Using the Freidlin-Wentzell large deviation theory for randomly perturbed dynamical systems and the elements of the algebraic graph theory, we identify and analyze the main regimes in the network dynamics ...

Abstract Background Abnormal sleep is commonly observed in the ICU and is associated with delirium and increased mortality. If sedation is necessary, it is often performed with gamma‐aminobutyric acid agonists such as propofol or midazolam leading to an absence of restorative sleep.

Hypothesis review: Alzheimer's overture guidelines
Brain aging with ADNC and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) form a prevalent continuum unique to humans. Molecular changes affecting cell membranes, cytoskeleton, synapses, lipid and protein metabolism, energy metabolism, neuroinflammation, cell cycle, astrocytes, microglia, and blood vessels precede and occur in parallel with early ADNC; and they are

The Locus Coeruleus Noradrenaline System in Delirium
Delirium is a brain state involving severe brain dysfunction affecting cognitive and attentional capacities. Our opinion statement review aims to elucidate the relationship between abnormal arousal and locus coeruleus (LC) activity in cognitive ...

Neuromelanin-MRI using 2D GRE and deep learning: considerations for improving the visualization of substantia nigra and locus coeruleus [PDF]
An optimized clinically feasible neuromelanin-MRI imaging protocol for visualising the SN and LC simultaneously using deep learning reconstruction is presented. We optimize flip-angle for optimal combined SN and LC depiction. We also experimented with combinations of anisotropic and isotropic in-plane resolution, partial vs full echoes and the number ...

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...
