Summary: This study aims to explore the reliability of FC estimation by conducting extensive simulations. The results showed that a data window containing 5-8 cycles of the oscillation of interest is generally required for reliable PC estimates. Additionally, Hilbert-based approaches outperformed Fourier-based approaches.

Summary: The paper presents a scientific overview and conceptual positions on the challenges and benefits of electrophysiological measurements in understanding the human connectome. It emphasizes the importance of electrophysiological signals, current data modalities, and analytical methods. Furthermore, it encourages the field to embrace the complexity of electrophysiological signals and develop testable mechanistic models for information integration in hierarchical brain networks.

Summary: Implementing novel instructions is a complex cognitive ability that requires converting symbolic content into an executable format. Preparing to implement these instructions involves activating motor plans and binding action information to specific contexts. Theta oscillations in the frontal region play a crucial role in establishing synchrony between brain areas.

Summary: Dyspnea or breathlessness is a common symptom in various diseases, but the neural mechanisms underlying its subjective experience are not well understood. Neural oscillatory dynamics and cross-frequency coupling are proposed as possible neural mechanisms for respiratory perception, warranting further attention and research.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that viewing images of tools affects sensory-motor-related cortical areas in the brain. This study investigates whether similar brain activity is observed when viewing images of graspable daily objects. The results suggest that manipulable objects elicit similar cerebral activity as tools.

Summary: Gamma oscillations are driven by local cortical excitatory-inhibitory loops and can characterize neural processing involving excitatory-inhibitory interactions. Visual gamma oscillations can serve as biomarkers for brain disorders associated with E/I imbalance, but their reflection of individual neural excitability and associated sensory phenomena remains unclear.

Summary: Recent research has found that a wide range of cognitive operations are preserved during sleep in humans. This challenges scientists to understand the functions and mechanisms of these processes, which have mainly been studied in awake individuals. In this study, the focus is on the dynamic changes of brain oscillations and connectivity patterns in response to environmental stimulation during non-REM sleep. The results show that aurally presented names were processed and differentiated by neurons across the wake-sleep spectrum. EEG and MEG signals recorded simultaneously revealed two distinct clusters of oscillatory power increase in response to the stimuli. This study discusses the possible roles of different oscillations during non-REM sleep and aims to develop a unified theory of brain rhythms and their functions during sleep.

Summary: Alpha is the main rhythm in the human electroencephalogram, and its functional coupling patterns are still not well understood. This study demonstrates that connectivity patterns between different cortical generators during rest are dependent on the brain state.

Summary: The study revealed that children with ADHD showed higher functional connectivity in the frontal and occipital lobes compared to healthy children, as well as longer shortest path lengths. This suggests issues in the brain emotional processing center and lower efficiency of information transmission and segregation in ADHD neuronal networks.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the predictive role of hippocampal theta activity during encoding on subsequent associative memory performance. They found that theta power in the hippocampus increased during encoding and that this increase was related to successful retrieval of pairs in the memory task. These findings help to clarify the role of theta oscillations in associative memory formation and suggest that results from epilepsy patients undergoing intracranial electroencephalography recordings can be extended to healthy participants undergoing magnetoencephalography recordings.

Summary: Neural oscillations are crucial for integrating and segregating brain regions important for brain functions, including pain. Specific functional bands, such as alpha, beta, and gamma bands, have been identified in nociceptive processing, illustrating the key role of regional and interregional neural oscillations in both acute and chronic pain.

Summary: We analyzed EEG and fMRI data and found that beta and alpha oscillations are related to laminar-specific fMRI connectivity, while gamma oscillations are not. The decrease in beta power is associated with an increase in deep-to-deep layer coupling between brain regions and an increase in deep/middle-to-superficial layer connectivity within brain regions. On the other hand, the decrease in alpha power is related to reduced connectivity between deep and superficial layers within brain regions. These findings suggest that different frequency bands are involved in different feedback-related neural processes in laminar-specific fMRI-based connectivity.

Summary: This study found that certain brainwave activities involving phase resetting reflect the depressed mood at the time, and can be easily monitored by measuring the resting EEG with eyes closed for 1 minute. These findings are expected to provide innovative biomarkers for early detection of depression and contribute to a better understanding and treatment of depression.

Summary: This study investigated brain connectivity in Parkinson's disease (PD) and age matched healthy controls (HC) using quantitative EEG analysis during rest and a motor task. The phase locking value (PLV) was evaluated as a measure of functional connectivity. Results showed no significant differences in PLV connectivity between groups at rest, but higher PLV connectivity in the delta band during the motor task in HC compared to PD. ROC analysis revealed an AUC of 0.75, sensitivity of 100%, and NPV of 100% in discriminating PD from HC.
