Experimental and computational analysis of REM sleep distributed cortical activity in mice

Although classically Rapid-Eye Movement (REM) sleep was thought to generate desynchronized activity similar to wakefulness, it was found that some brain regions could express Slow Wave activity (SWA), a pattern which was normally typical of slow-wave sleep ...

Human self and Neurosurgery: Advances and insights from Geneva

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke

Introduction: The preservation of the human self—a fundamental yet underexplored aspect of neurosurgical practice—has gained increasing attention in recent years. Research question: How can neural correlates of self-consciousness be identified, monitored, ...

Neural anticipation of virtual infection triggers an immune response

Tommaso Enrico Bertoni

Once contact with a pathogen has occurred, it might be too late for the immune system to react. Here, we asked whether anticipatory neural responses might sense potential infections and signal to the immune system, priming it for a response. We show that p ...

Multimodal Neural Correlates of Childhood Psychopathology

Vanessa Siffredi

Complex structural and functional changes occurring in typical and atypical development necessitate multidimensional approaches to better understand the risk of developing psychopathology. Here, we simultaneously examined structural and functional brain ne ...

Reconstruction of nerve functional topography using recruitment curves enables selective electrical stimulation

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni

Multi-polar stimulation protocols have been used in the past to increase the selectivity of electrical stimulation of the nervous system. Nonetheless, the number of possible multipolar stimulation protocols is prohibitively large and cannot be explored dur ...

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to test efficacy and safety of transcranial direct current stimulation to the motor cortex after stroke (NETS): study protocol

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Introduction The WHO estimates that each year 5 million people are left permanently disabled after stroke. Adjuvant treatments to promote the effects of rehabilitation are urgently needed. Cortical excitability and neuroplasticity can be enhanced by non-in ...

Functional connectivity underlying cognitive and psychiatric symptoms in post-COVID-19 syndrome: is anosognosia a key determinant?

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Alessandra Griffa

Lack of awareness of cognitive impairment (i.e. anosognosia) could be a key factor for distinguishing between neuropsychological postCOVID-19 condition phenotypes. In this context, the 2-fold aim of the present study was to (i) establish the prevalence of ...
