During propofol-induced general anesthesia, alpha rhythms measured using
electroencephalography undergo a striking shift from posterior to anterior, termed anteriorization, …

Although general anesthetics are routinely administered to surgical patients to induce loss
of consciousness, the mechanisms underlying anesthetic-induced unconsciousness are not …

A controversy has developed in recent years over the roles of frontal and posterior cortices in
mediating consciousness and unconsciousness. Disruption of posterior cortex during sleep …

Phase amplitude coupling (PAC) is thought to play a fundamental role in the dynamic
coordination of brain circuits and systems. There are however growing concerns that existing …

A critical component of anesthesia is the loss of sensory perception. Propofol is the most
widely used drug for general anesthesia, but the neural mechanisms of how and when it …

Direct neural recordings from human auditory cortex have demonstrated encoding for
acoustic-phonetic features of consonants and vowels. Neural responses also encode distinct …

In neuroscience, characterizing the oscillatory dynamics of the brain is critical to understanding
how brain areas interact and function. Neuronal activity tends to fluctuate rhythmically–…

During propofol-induced general anesthesia, alpha rhythms undergo a striking shift from
posterior to anterior, termed anteriorization. We combined human intracranial recordings with …

Neural oscillations reflect the coordinated activity of neuronal populations across a wide
range of temporal and spatial scales, and are thought to play a significant role in mediating …

The brain is a complex network of interconnected elements, whose interactions evolve
dynamically in time to cooperatively perform specific functions. A common technique to probe …
