Background: The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is a shell-shaped gamma amino butyric
acid (GABA)ergic nucleus, which is uniquely placed between the thalamus and the cortex, …

Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disorder that has a massive, long-lasting negative
impact on the patients as well as society. While positive symptoms (ie, delusions and …

When we fall asleep, consciousness fades yet the brain remains active. Why is this so? To
investigate whether changes in cortical information transmission play a role, we used …

During much of sleep, virtually all cortical neurons undergo a slow oscillation (<1 Hz) in
membrane potential, cycling from a hyperpolarized state of silence to a depolarized state of …

… (F 1,22 = 15.9, P < 0.0006). There was no significant difference between time of test (F 1,22
= 2.7, P = 0.12), but there was an interaction between time of test and condition (F 1,22 = 4.8, …

By employing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in combination with high-density
electroencephalography (EEG), we recently reported that cortical effective connectivity is …

… However, we found a significant change in sleep onset latency (F=4.2, df=2, 47, p<0.05).
Post hoc t tests showed increased sleep onset latency in both schizophrenia (p<0.01) and …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is increasingly being used to promote
cortical reorganization, under the assumption that it can induce long-term potentiation (LTP) of …

… In each individual channel, spindle (9–16 Hz) power in NREM sleep was compared with
a fitted 1/f α model (both were estimated across multiple 10 s epochs) and channels with a …
