Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans Navigation is one of the core components of human complex cognition, where head direction information is crucial for positioning oneself in space. However, due to the requirement of having the head fixed in a specific position during most neuroimaging experiments, understanding h...

Differential Cortical Layer Engagement During Seizure Initiation and Spread in Humans

Differential Cortical Layer Engagement During Seizure Initiation and Spread in Humans

Study on the Differences in Cortical Layers During Epileptic Seizure Onset and Spread Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that severely impacts patients’ quality of life, affecting approximately 1% of the global population. Among all epilepsy patients, nearly one-third are resistant to pharmaceutical treatments, known as drug-resistant epilepsy. Fo...

Beta to Theta Power Ratio in EEG Periodic Components as a Potential Biomarker in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Dementia

Alzheimer’s Disease Research and Treatment Frontiers: Beta/Theta Power Ratio in EEG Periodic Components as a Potential Biomarker Background Introduction Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) is a progressively developing disease, accounting for 60% to 80% of all dementia cases [1]. In the early stages of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) typically occurs, du...

Modulating the Difficulty of a Visual Oddball-like Task and P3m Amplitude

Modulation of P3m Amplitude by Task Difficulty in a Visual Oddball Task Background In cognitive neuroscience research, Event-Related Potentials (ERP) and Event-Related Fields (ERF) are important means to explore the cognitive processing mechanisms of the brain. Among these, the P3 component (referred to as P3m in magnetoencephalography) has garnere...

Increases in Pre-Stimulus Theta and Alpha Oscillations Precede Successful Encoding of Crossmodal Associations

Enhancement of Theta and Alpha Oscillations Prior to Crossmodal Memory Encoding Background Episodic memory is a crucial component of human memory, with one of its core mechanisms being the formation of associations through stimuli from different sensory channels. Current theories suggest that during crossmodal associative encoding, the phase and po...
