Homeostatic plasticity in patients with disorders of consciousness detected by combined stimulation: a study protocol

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
BackgroundNon-invasive neuromodulation (NIN) techniques have been widely utilized in treating patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC), but their therapeutic effects have been inconsistent.

Schooling Trajectories and the Development of Brain Dynamics: A Comparative Study of Montessori and Traditional Education

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate whether Montessori and traditional schooling systems shape the developmental trajectory of large‐scale brain dynamics in different ways. We quantify the arrow of time (“non‐reversibility”) in neural activity during resting state and movie‐watching, revealing distinct maturational patterns.

Integrated Ultrasonic Platform for Bioelectronic Control through Biological Barriers Based on Metasurface

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A metasurface‐enabled ultrasonic platform achieves precise multi‐focal control through biological barriers, real‐time physiology‐driven modulation, and simultaneous wireless power and data transmission. By unifying wavefront engineering, closed‐loop feedback, and acoustic communication, this work establishes key enabling technologies toward scalable ...

Orexin/Hypocretin: Wired for Wakefulness

open access: yes, 2003
Orexin neurons play a crucial role in regulating wakefulness and energy metabolism, but until recently, little was known about the factors that influence the activity of these essential cells. Electrophysiological studies have now identified positive and

Brain and brain-heart Granger causality during wakefulness and sleep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In this exploratory study we apply Granger Causality (GC) to investigate the brain-brain and brain-heart interactions during wakefulness and sleep.

Neurofeedback to improve wakefulness maintenance ability

open access: yes
International audienceThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an EEG-based neurofeedback (NF) program on the ability to maintain wakefulness in healthy subjects, after a controlled one-night complete sleep debt condition.

Perception of diagnosis by family caregivers in severe brain injury patients in China

open access: yesBMC Palliative Care
Objectives Surrogate decision-making by family caregivers for patients with severe brain injury is influenced by the availability and understanding of relevant information and expectations for future rehabilitation. We aimed to compare the consistency of

Exploring end-of-life decision-making in China for disorders of consciousness

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine
Objectives We aim to investigate the ethical attitudes of the Chinese population toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) in disorders of consciousness (DoC) patients.Methods A self-administered questionnaire concerning WLST was distributed ...

Inhibitory Decay and Supercritical Brain Dynamics During Sleep Deprivation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep deprivation progressively shifts human brain dynamics from near‐critical toward supercritical states, as revealed by neuronal avalanche analysis of resting‐state fMRI. These changes track subjective sleep pressure rather than vigilance lapses and show marked network heterogeneity. A circuit model suggests that reduced inhibitory efficacy provides
