Article Synopsis
- The text presents a new framework that connects past and present ideas about brain injury, emphasizing the significance of slow waves detected in EEG readings.
- It suggests that these slow waves indicate sleep-like brain activity during wakefulness, which can disrupt brain networks and hinder behavioral functions.
- The authors propose that by adjusting these post-injury slow waves, it's possible to stimulate brain areas that have become inactive, potentially enhancing rehabilitation efforts and recovery outcomes.
Introduction: Understanding the residual recovery potential in stroke patients is crucial for tailoring effective neurorehabilitation program We propose using EEG and plasmatic Neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels as a model to depict longitudinal patterns of stroke recovery.
Methods: We enrolled 13 patients (4 female, mean age 74.7 ± 8.
Schizophrenia is thought to reflect aberrant connectivity within cortico-cortical and reentrant thalamo-cortical loops, which physiologically integrate and coordinate the function of multiple cortical and subcortical structures. Despite extensive research, reliable biomarkers of such "dys-connectivity" remain to be identified at the onset of psychosis, and before exposure to antipsychotic drugs. Because slow waves travel across the brain during sleep, they represent an ideal paradigm to study pathological conditions affecting brain connectivity.

Although preserved EEG patterns are highly suggestive of consciousness even in unresponsive patients, moderately or severely abnormal patterns are difficult to interpret. Indeed, growing evidence shows that consciousness can be present despite either large delta or reduced alpha activity in spontaneous EEG.
