Summary: EEG microstates were used to investigate differences between children with Autism Spectrum Development (ASD) and typically developing (TD) participants. The study found that the frequency and global explained variance (GEV) of a specific microstate were lower in the ASD group, while the duration of the same microstate was correlated with ASD-related behaviors. In the TD group, the duration of this microstate was also correlated with participant age and overall alpha power. Another microstate showed higher signal strength and GEV in the ASD group, with different topographical patterns between groups.

Summary: This study examined EEG microstates in migraine patients and found that microstate classes B and D had higher time coverage and occurrence in migraine patients compared to healthy controls, while microstate class C exhibited lower time coverage and occurrence. The duration of microstate class C was negatively correlated with headache-related disability in migraine patients. Microstate syntax analysis also revealed significant differences in transition probabilities between the two groups.

Summary: The study analyzed the association between EEG microstates and fMRI data in healthy subjects, showing that MS transitions were largely negatively associated with specific fMRI networks. A novel concept was proposed that MS dynamics can model BOLD signals.

Summary: Continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) induces long-lasting inhibitory effects on cortical excitability and leads to improvements in motor function. Changes in microstate B were found to be associated with improvements in motor function, indicating a specific modulation by cTBS on motor network connectivity.

Summary: The study found that while alterations in theta and low beta power in FXS were similar between males and females, relative power varied by sex in the alpha, upper beta, gamma, and epsilon frequency bands. Additionally, Individual Alpha Peak Frequency (IAPF), which may capture atypicalities in neurodevelopmental disorders across the theta and alpha ranges, also varied by sex. Furthermore, performance on an auditory filtering task correlated with theta power in males, but not females with FXS.

Summary: Using high-density electrical neuroimaging, this study explores the dysfunctional patterns of microstates dynamics in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study finds that OCD patients exhibit increased contribution and decreased duration of microstates C and decreased activity in the Salience Network. Additionally, there is increased activity in the Default Mode Network and Executive Control Network, both associated with other microstates. The hyperactivity of the right angular gyrus in the Executive Control Network correlates with symptom severity.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in neural activity of professional archers of different levels under different states by analyzing the EEG microstate parameters and their correlation with archery performance. The findings suggest that elite archers are more active in the dorsal attention system during the resting state and activate brain regions associated with archery when aiming.

Summary: The study revealed that compared with healthy controls, Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients show an anteriorisation of EEG microstate topologies and reduced spatial expression of default mode networks and increased frontal lobe networks in resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI). Analysis of the time courses of EEG microstates and corresponding rs-fMRI networks found prevalent negative correlations in controls. This suggests a potential breakdown of anterior-to-posterior connectivity in AD patients.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the brain rhythms characteristics in resting state condition before a visuo-motor task in healthy adults. The results showed a negative correlation between brain activity and reaction times to the task, suggesting a potential tool for exploring brain state characterization for task performance.

Summary: Resting state electroencephalography (EEG) microstate analysis has revealed significant alterations in microstate parameters in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared to typically developing populations. These parameters also change in relation to specific cognitive processes. However, different resting state EEG data acquisition (e.g., eyes closed or open) is likely to produce inconsistent results.

Summary: EEG microstate analysis is a method for studying brain states and transitions, but it is limited in its use at the sensor level. This study generalized the microstate methodology to source-reconstructed electrophysiological data and identified ten microstates with distinct spatial distributions. The study also found that source-level microstates were associated with different functional connectivity patterns.

Summary: The present study used questionnaire, psychophysical, and neurophysiological measures to characterize autistic sensory processing. The results showed significant differences between autistic and typically developing individuals in sensory questionnaires, but little group differences in psychophysical thresholds. The different types of measures appeared to be largely independent of one another. Unexpectedly, autistic participants with larger auditory Tb ERP amplitudes had reduced hearing acuity.

Summary: Irritability is a prevalent and impairing transdiagnostic symptom, especially during adolescence. This study used a group connectometry approach to identify white matter tracts correlated with irritability, revealing widespread neural pathways, particularly emotion and reward networks. By characterizing the neural underpinnings of irritability, targeted interventions may be developed.

Summary: Most prior studies of multisensory integration in autism have focused on audiovisual integration. This study examined bimodal and trimodal integration using reaction times and electroencephalography. The results showed significant multisensory facilitation in both autistic and non-autistic groups, as well as differences in event-related potentials. There were also exploratory findings of group differences in audiovisual interactions.
