  • General anaesthesia decreases the uniqueness of brain functional connectivity across individuals and species

    Open AccessAndrea I Luppi, Daniel Golkowski et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025References: 124

    The human brain is characterized by idiosyncratic patterns of spontaneous thought, rendering each brain uniquely identifiable from its neural activity. However, deep general anaesthesia suppresses subjective experience. Does it also suppress what makes each brain unique? Here we used functional MRI scans acquired under the effects of the general anaesthetics sevoflurane and propofol to determine whether anaesthetic-induced unconsciousness diminis…

  • While you were sleeping

    Open AccessSarah Fogel, Stuart Fogel et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2022

    During sleep we lack conscious awareness of the external environment. Yet, our internal mental state suggests that high-level cognitive processes persist. The nature and extent to which the external environment is processed during sleep remain largely unexplored. Here, we used an fMRI synchronization-based approach to examine responses to a narrative during wakefulness and sleep. The stimulus elicited the auditory network and a frontoparietal pat…

  • Striatum-Mediated Deficits in Stimulus-Response Learning and Decision-Making in OCD

    Open AccessNole M Hiebert, Marc R Lawrence et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Studies investigating symptomatology and cognitive deficits in OCD frequently implicate the striatum. The aim of this study was to explore striatum-mediated cognitive deficits in patients with OCD as they complete a stimulus-response learning task previously shown to differentially rely on the dorsal (DS) and ventral striatum (VS).…

  • Points in Mental Space

    Open AccessJon May, Beatriz Calvo‐merino et al.ARTICLEDance Research2011

    As part of a programme of research that is developing tools to enhance choreographic practice, an interdisciplinary team of cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and dance professionals collaborated on two studies examining the mental representations used to support movement creation. We studied choreographer Wayne McGregor's approach to movement creation through tasking, in which he asks dancers to create movement in response to task instruction…

  • Detecting Awareness in the Vegetative State

    Open AccessAdrian M Owen, Martin R Coleman et al.ARTICLEScience2006

    We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate preserved conscious awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state. When asked to imagine playing tennis or moving around her home, the patient activated predicted cortical areas in a manner indistinguishable from that of healthy volunteers.

  • N‐back working memory paradigm

    Open AccessAdrian M Owen, Kathryn M McMillan et al.ARTICLEHuman Brain Mapping2005

    One of the most popular experimental paradigms for functional neuroimaging studies of working memory has been the n‐back task, in which subjects are asked to monitor the identity or location of a series of verbal or nonverbal stimuli and to indicate when the currently presented stimulus is the same as the one presented n trials previously. We conducted a quantitative meta‐analysis of 668 sets of activation coordinates in Talairach space reported …
