Detailed analysis of fMRI data shows that sequences of movements are associated with individual patterns of neural activity that become more distinct with training.

The therapeutic effects of the sleeping pill zolpidem in patients with disorders of consciousness may be due to recruitment of brain cells idling in abnormally low-frequency brain waves.

Patterns of communication between the thalamus and the cortex are correlated with anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness and recovery.

Direct electrophysiological evidence demonstrates a role for the anterior thalamic nucleus in human memory formation.

Functional connectivity in the human brain reflects changes in synaptic plasticity induced with repeated paired stimulation.

The cortical grasping circuit separates but shares visual and motor processes to transform object attributes into appropriate hand movements.

Adapting to rapid or slow finger tapping selectively biases the apparent numerosity of sequences or arrays of visual stimuli.

Oscillatory synchronized hub neurons coordinate neural network activity across multiple brain areas.

Cross-frequency synchronization of neuronal oscillations in visual and attentional brain systems predicts human working memory performance.

An illusion in which individuals feel that their own hand no longer belongs to them may reflect a temporary reduction in the brain’s ability to control the movement of the hand.
