Altered power of resting-state neurophysiological activity has been associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which commonly co-occur. We compared resting-state neurophysiological power in children with ASD, ADHD, co-occurring ASD + ADHD, and typically developing controls. Children with ASD (ASD/ASD + ADHD) showed reduced theta and alpha power compared to children without ASD (controls/ADHD). Children with ADHD (ADHD/ASD + ADHD) displayed decreased delta power compared to children without ADHD (ASD/controls). Children with ASD + ADHD largely presented as an additive co-occurrence with deficits of both disorders, although reduced theta compared to ADHD-only and reduced delta compared to controls suggested some unique markers. Identifying specific neurophysiological profiles in ASD and ADHD may assist in characterising more homogeneous subgroups to inform treatment approaches and aetiological investigations.

Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) have distinct molecular pathologies, with Tau and TDP43 aggregation, and distinct patterns of regional brain atrophy. However, they share the synaptotoxicity of protein aggregation, and neurotransmitter loss (including GABA), which contribute to clinical and neurophysiological similarities. Defining the relationships between synaptic loss, network physiology and cognition builds bridges between preclinical and clinical studies, and facilitates early phase trials.

Background: Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are both neurodegenerative conditions involving the basal ganglia area of the brain. Both conditions can cause symptoms that affect movement. Cognitive decline or dementia can also occur in both.

Background: The study of the involvement of the cerebellum in learning and memory has become one of the recent hot topics in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cerebellum has gained increasing interest in the treatment of cognition-related disorders, making it necessary to determine the optimal parameters for cerebellar TMS. In this study, we aim to explore the effects of different frequencies of cerebellar repetitive TMS (rTMS) on working memory regulation and the associated electrophysiological changes.

Background And Objectives: Psychosis is one of the major neuropsychiatric non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Prolonged latency and decreased amplitude of the P300 event-related potential (ERP) is a potential neurophysiologic biomarker of deeper neurocognitive deficits in PD. We aimed to characterize electroencephalogram (EEG)/ERP parameters in PD patients with and without psychosis (PDP and PDNP, respectively), and to determine if such measures could act as endophenotypes for PD-associated psychosis (PDP).

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common anxiety disorder characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry and physical symptoms such as difficulty concentrating and sleep disturbances. Although functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have reported aberrant network-level activity related to cognition and emotion in GAD, its low temporal resolution restricts its ability to capture the rapid neural activity in mental processes. EEG microstate analysis offers millisecond-resolution for tracking the dynamic changes in brain electrical activity, thereby illuminating the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the cognitive and emotional dysfunctions in GAD.
