Deciphering consciousness: The role of corticothalamocortical interactions in general anesthesia by Yuxi Zhou, Shiqian Huang, Tianhao Zhang, Daling Deng, Li Huang, Xiangdong Chen

“…While some theories suggest that anesthesia shares similarities with natural sleep, targeting sleep-promoting areas and inhibiting arousal nuclei, recent research indicates a more complex process. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of corticothalamocortical circuits, which are involved in higher cognitive functions, in controlling arousal states and modulating transitions between different conscious states during anesthesia. …”

Motor learning leverages coordinated low-frequency cortico-basal ganglia activity to optimize motor preparation in humans with Parkinson’s disease by Kara N. Presbrey, Kara N. Presbrey, Kara N. Presbrey, Thomas A. Wozny, Thomas A. Wozny, Kenneth H. Louie, Kenneth H. Louie, Simon Little, Simon Little, Philip A. Starr, Philip A. Starr, Reza Abbasi-Asl, Reza Abbasi-Asl, Doris D. Wang, Doris D. Wang

“…For motor cortex γ, this increase was tied to learning-related cross-frequency coupling led by cortically-driven network delta (δ, 0.5–4 Hz) synchrony. More generally, coordinated network δ supported a complex pattern of learning-driven cross-frequency couplings within and between cortex and basal ganglia, including striatal lead of cortical beta (β, 12–30 Hz) activity, reflecting the specialized roles of these brain regions in motor preparation. …”

Multiple Scattering Properties Based on Modified Microsurface pBRDF Model by Youfei Hao, Jin Duan, Ju Liu, Jiahao Yang, Juntong Zhan

“…Different material types of the target surface can be expressed by the scattering polarization properties, and the use of polarization to characterise the target more effectively is a highly interesting topic. However, the existing polarized bidirectional reflection distribution function (pBRDF) based on microfacet theory for modelling light transmission over rough surfaces is not general. …”
