We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

Understanding how neural systems integrate, encode, and compute information is central to
understanding brain function. Frequently, data from neuroscience experiments are …

The neurobiological mechanisms of arousal and anesthesia remain poorly understood.
Recent evidence highlights the key role of interactions between the cerebral cortex and the …

The human brain displays a rich repertoire of states that emerge from the microscopic
interactions of cortical and subcortical neurons. Difficulties inherent within large-scale …

Objective: Assessing brain connectivity from electrophysiological signals is of great
relevance in neuroscience, but results are still debated and depend crucially on how …

This year's Lasker Clinical Research Award goes to James Baird Glen for the discovery and
development of the anesthetic propofol. Patients benefit from its fast onset and rapid …

The study of the brain's dynamical activity is opening a window to help the clinical
assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness. For example, glucose uptake and …

Environmental events are processed on multiple timescales via hierarchical organization of
temporal receptive windows (TRWs) in the brain. The dependence of neural timescales and …

To explain consciousness as a physical process we must acknowledge the role of energy in
the brain. Energetic activity is fundamental to all physical processes and causally drives …

Exploiting the theory of state space models, we derive the exact expressions of the
information transfer, as well as redundant and synergistic transfer, for coupled Gaussian …
