In congenitally blind people, tactile stimuli can activate the occipital (visual) cortex. Here, the authors show using magnetoencephalography (MEG) that occipital activation can occur within 35 ms following tactile stimulation, suggesting the existence ...

Thalamic connectivity mirrors spatial maps of network dysfunction in nonlesional focal epilepsy
Abstract Objective Focal epilepsy is increasingly conceptualized as a network disorder, yet the extent to which network dysfunction reflects a shared phenotype remains unknown. Spatially conserved patterns of network dysfunction may implicate a centralized mechanism underlying widespread impairment.

Widening participation in the International League Against Epilepsy: Looking to the future
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) is a global organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with epilepsy through education, research, and advocacy. Recognizing the need for broader engagement and multidisciplinary collaboration, the ILAE has established five sections: Young Epilepsy Section (YES), Nursing, Social Work

Attentional Enhancement of Auditory Mismatch Responses: a DCM/MEG Study.
Despite similar behavioral effects, attention and expectation influence evoked responses differently: Attention typically enhances event-related responses, whereas expectation reduces them.

This chapter introduces magnetoencephalography (MEG), a tool to study brain dynamics in basic and clinical neuroscience. MEG picks up brain signals with millisecond resolution, as does electroencephalography, but without distortion by skull and scalp ...

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Can We Talk About Fetal Consciousness?
ABSTRACT Aim This mini‐review examines research on fetal consciousness, focusing on whether it can be empirically assessed or remains primarily a philosophical construct. Methods A review of theoretical frameworks was conducted. Behavioural evidence from studies of prenatal sensory responsiveness is evaluated, with particular attention to whether ...

Concept Cells and the Neural Bases of Human Memory
ABSTRACT Single‐neuron recordings from the medial temporal lobe of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery have revealed “concept cells” that respond selectively and invariantly to meaningful stimuli such as specific people, places, or objects. These responses offer a unique window into how individual neurons encode high‐level, multimodal representations ...
