Propofol-induced loss of responsiveness reorganizes cortical traveling waves in the human brain (2026, unknown): “The reduction in alpha-frequency waves is also in line with previous studies showing that propofol-271 LOR is associated with a suppression of resting-state alpha rhythms 22,40 which may reflect a disruption of feedback processes thought to support conscious awareness 15,16,41 .”
Macroscale traveling waves evoked by single-pulse stimulation of the human brain (2023, unknown): “Other statistical approaches that leverage the high sampling rate of continuous time-series recordings (e.g., phase-based analyses) have been used in prior studies of endogenous traveling waves (Halgren et al., 2019; Davis et al., 2020).”
Age-Related Characteristics of Resting-State Electroencephalographic Signals and the Corresponding Analytic Approaches: A Review (2024, background): “In addition, the alpha rhythm is known to play an important role in the functional feedback in the thalamocortical system by propagating from the higher-to lower-order cortex and from the cortex to the thalamus [94,95].”
Comparison of power spectra from overnight electro-encephalography between patients with Down syndrome and matched control subjects (2024, unknown): “PDR is believed to be positively associated with cognitive function (Cellier et al., 2021; Garces et al., 2013; Halgren et al., 2019; Klimesch et al., 1998; Labonte et al., 2023; Velikova et al., 2011).”
Spontaneous α Brain Dynamics Track the Episodic “When” (2023, background): “While thalamo-cortical circuitries are important contributors to a activity (Steriade et al., 1990; Steriade, 1999; Halgren et al., 2019), a significant implication of hippocampal activity has been reported (Raichle, 2015).”
Stimulus-evoked and resting-state alpha oscillations show a linked dependence on patterned visual experience for development (2023, background): “, 2014) invasive recordings from humans at rest (Halgren et al., 2019), non-”
Globally elevated excitation–inhibition ratio in children with autism spectrum disorder and below-average intelligence (2021, background): “Indeed, ‘alpha states’ index reduced cortical excitability [53, 54] and are dominated by currents and firing in supragranular cortical layers [74], which display steeper 1/f slope than the other cortical layers, presumably due to longer time constants and a higher density of inhibitory transmembrane”
Multimodal neuroimaging of hierarchical cognitive control. (2024, background): “The gating by inhibition hypothesis is also supported by evidence that there are attention-related, top-down influences from higher-order to lower-order areas that control the alpha-driven gating of sensory processing in the latter (Halgren et al., 2019; Pagnotta et al., 2022).”
Functional Specialization in the Attention Network (2019, background): “A uthor M anuscript A uthor M anuscript A uthor M anuscript A uthor M anuscript (Capotosto et al. 2015, Fiebelkorn et al. 2019, Halgren et al. 2017), there is also some evidence linking the frontal cortex to attention-related suppression (Helfrich et al. 2017, Suzuki & Gottlieb 2013).”
