Over the last years, a surge of empirical studies converged on complexity-related measures
as reliable markers of consciousness across many different conditions, such as sleep …

The biological basis of consciousness is one of the most challenging and fundamental
questions in 21st century science. A related pursuit aims to identify the neural correlates and …

Objective To investigate the dynamic functional connectivity of thalamocortical networks in
interictal migraine patients and whether clinical features are associated with abnormal …

Background: Intraoperative burst-suppression is associated with postoperative delirium.
Whether this association is causal remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether …

General anesthesia reversibly alters consciousness, without shutting down the brain
globally. Depending on the anesthetic agent and dose, it may produce different …

The heterogeneity of molecular mechanisms, target neural circuits, and neurophysiological
effects of general anesthetics makes it difficult to develop a reliable and drug-invariant index …

Over the past few years, despite the lack of approved pediatric labelling, dexmedetomidine's
(DEX) use has become more prevalent in pediatric clinical practice as well as in research …

State-dependent activity of locus ceruleus (LC) neurons has long suggested a role for
noradrenergic modulation of arousal. However, in vivo insights into noradrenergic arousal …

Delirium is an acute neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by altered levels of attention
and awareness with cognitive deficits. It is most prevalent in elderly hospitalized patients …

Recent studies have investigated local oscillations, long-range connectivity, and global
network patterns to identify neural changes associated with anesthetic-induced …
