We investigate the dynamics of bursting behavior in an intact hippocampal preparation using causal entropy, an adaptive measure of lag synchrony. This analysis, together with a heuristic model of coupled bursting networks, separates experimentally observed bursting dynamics into two dynamical regimes, when bursting is driven by (1) the intranetwork dynamics of a single region, or (2) internetwork feedback between spatially disjoint neural populations. Our results suggest that the abrupt transition between these two states heralds the gradual desynchronization of bursting activity. These results illustrate how superficially homogeneous behavior across loosely coupled networks may harbor hidden, but robust, dynamical processes.

There is a growing need for research on Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurological condition that often affects the elderly. By examining brain network connectivity, researchers are able to discover how different brain regions interact during various cognitive and behavioral tasks. They can also understand how changes in nonlinear connections may be linked to neurological and mental illnesses.

Introduction: The cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the human brain are driven by physiological pulsations, including cardiovascular pulses and very low-frequency (< 0.1 Hz) vasomotor waves. Ultrafast functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) facilitates the simultaneous measurement of these signals from venous and arterial compartments independently with both classical venous blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) and faster arterial spin-phase contrast.

Alpha (8-12 Hz) frequency band oscillations are among the most informative features in electroencephalographic (EEG) assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Because interareal alpha synchrony is thought to facilitate long-range communication in healthy brains, coherence measures of resting-state alpha oscillations may provide insights into a patient's capacity for higher-order cognition beyond channel-wise estimates of alpha power. In multi-channel EEG, global coherence methods may be used to augment standard spectral analysis methods by both estimating the strength and identifying the structure of coherent oscillatory networks.

[Purpose] Vibratory stimulation of the upper intercostal region enhances inspiratory movement, whereas stimulation of the lower intercostal region enhances expiratory movement and ventilation. Previous vibration stimulation devices for intercostal muscles required manual stimulation, causing a time lag between breathing and vibration stimulation. The purpose of this experiment was to compare the effects of an automatic vibration stimulation system with manual vibration stimulation in a group of individuals and to verify whether there was an increase in upper and lower chest wall displacement and respiratory flow.

Changes in vapour pressure deficit can lead to the depletion and replenishment of stem water pools to buffer water potential variations in the xylem. Yet, the precise velocity at which stem water pools track environmental cues remains poorly explored. Nine eucalyptus seedlings grown in a glasshouse experienced high-frequency environmental oscillations and their stem radial variations (ΔR) were monitored at a 30-s temporal resolution in upper and lower stem locations and on the bark and xylem.
