Intrinsic neural timescales: temporal integration and segregation

A Wolff, N Berberian, M Golesorkhi… - Trends in cognitive …, 2022 - cell.com
We are continuously bombarded by external inputs of various timescales from the
environment. How does the brain process this multitude of timescales? Recent resting state …

Neural signs and mechanisms of consciousness: Is there a potential convergence of theories of consciousness in sight?

G Northoff, V Lamme - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …

The brain and its time: intrinsic neural timescales are key for input processing

M Golesorkhi, J Gomez-Pilar, F Zilio… - Communications …, 2021 - nature.com
We process and integrate multiple timescales into one meaningful whole. Recent evidence
suggests that the brain displays a complex multiscale temporal organization. Different …

Functional geometry of the cortex encodes dimensions of consciousness

Z Huang, GA Mashour, AG Hudetz - Nature communications, 2023 - nature.com
Consciousness is a multidimensional phenomenon, but key dimensions such as awareness
and wakefulness have been described conceptually rather than neurobiologically. We …

Is temporo-spatial dynamics the “common currency” of brain and mind? In quest of “spatiotemporal neuroscience”

G Northoff, S Wainio-Theberge, K Evers - Physics of Life Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
Neuroscience has made considerable progress in unraveling the neural correlates of mental
phenomena like self, consciousness, and perception. However, the “common currency” …

[HTML][HTML] The non-specific matrix thalamus facilitates the cortical information processing modes relevant for conscious awareness

EJ Müller, BR Munn, MJ Redinbaugh, J Lizier… - Cell reports, 2023 - cell.com
The neurobiological mechanisms of arousal and anesthesia remain poorly understood.
Recent evidence highlights the key role of interactions between the cerebral cortex and the …

Temporal circuit of macroscale dynamic brain activity supports human consciousness

Z Huang, J Zhang, J Wu, GA Mashour, AG Hudetz - Science advances, 2020 - science.org
The ongoing stream of human consciousness relies on two distinct cortical systems, the
default mode network and the dorsal attention network, which alternate their activity in an …

[HTML][HTML] Classical and non-classical psychedelic drugs induce common network changes in human cortex

R Dai, TE Larkin, Z Huang, V Tarnal, P Picton… - Neuroimage, 2023 - Elsevier
The neurobiology of the psychedelic experience is not fully understood. Identifying common
brain network changes induced by both classical (ie, acting at the 5-HT 2 receptor) and non …

The temporal signature of self: Temporal measures of resting‐state EEG predict self‐consciousness

A Wolff, DA Di Giovanni, J Gómez‐Pilar… - Human brain …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The self is the core of our mental life. Previous investigations have demonstrated a strong
neural overlap between self‐related activity and resting state activity. This suggests that …

[HTML][HTML] “Average is good, extremes are bad”–Non-linear inverted U-shaped relationship between neural mechanisms and functionality of mental features

G Northoff, S Tumati - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Traditionally, studies emphasize differences in neural measures between pathological and
healthy groups, assuming a binary distinction between the groups, and a linear relationship …
