Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation is a safe neuromodulatory treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage patients, with potential benefits for restoring autonomic balance.

Fast oscillations (30-150Hz), generated by internal brain mechanisms may be essential for the maintenance of healthy brain function.

Longitudinal calcium imaging in awake mice after stroke suggests impairments in neuronal activity, functional connectivity, and neural assembly architecture is transient and limited to cortex immediately adjacent to the stroke.

The distribution of visuospatial attention shapes the timing report results obtained with the Libet clock method, thus explaining the temporal binding effect in this context.

A critical re-evaluation of some of the quintessential examples given as evidence for cortical reorganisation argues that, contrary to the prevalent view, any opportunities for functional change in cortical organisation are incremental and constrained by the underlying structural ‘blueprint'.

Optogenetics was used to reveal a novel role for the perirhinal cortex in regulating approach-avoidance behaviors under object-based motivational conflict.

Incidental experiences can lead to lasting category knowledge, demonstrating that humans forage for information to acquire and consolidate new knowledge even when learning is not strictly necessary for success on an ongoing task.

Both hand and face representations remain relatively stable after arm amputation in adulthood, with no link to phantom limb pain, whereas pre-natal limb loss triggers complex patterns of remapping that do not relate to cortical topography.
