Infraslow activities and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) are observed in seizure-onset zones. However, the relation between them remains unclear. In this study, we investigated phase-amplitude coupling between infraslow phase (0.016-1 Hz) and HFOs' amplitude of focal impaired awareness seizures followed by focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, in a 28-year-old right-handed man with a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor. We recorded five habitual seizures. After the time of seizure onset, a significant increase in the power of HFOs was observed, and the power was significantly coupled with θ (4-8 Hz) phase. In contrast, coupling of infraslow activities and HFOs surged a few minutes before the seizure-onset time, and ictal HFOs discharged after that. Collectively, our results show that coupling of infraslow activities and HFOs precedes the seizure-onset time. We infer that such coupling may be a potential biomarker for seizure prediction.

Characterising the power spectrum dynamics of the non-REM to REM sleep transition.

The transition from non-rapid eye movement (NREM) to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is considered a transitional or intermediate stage (IS), characterised by high amplitude spindles in the frontal cortex and theta activity in the occipital cortex. Early reports in rats showed an IS lasting from 1 to 5 s, but recent studies suggested a longer duration of this stage of up to 20 s. To further characterise the IS, we analysed its spectral characteristics on electrocorticogram (ECoG) recordings of the olfactory bulb (OB), primary motor (M1), primary somatosensory (S1), and secondary visual cortex (V2) in 12 Wistar male adult rats.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow is important for clearing brain waste, like amyloid-β and tau, which are linked to aging and dementia.
- Researchers used resting-state fMRI to analyze the relationship between global brain activity (gBOLD) and CSF movements in 719 healthy participants aged 36 to 100.
- They discovered that gBOLD-CSF coupling stays stable until around age 55, after which it declines, especially in females, potentially accelerated by menopause.

Evolutionarily relevant networks have been previously described in several mammalian species using time-averaged analyses of fMRI time-series. However, fMRI network activity is highly dynamic and continually evolves over timescales of seconds. Whether the dynamic organization of resting-state fMRI network activity is conserved across mammalian species remains unclear.

It is increasingly understood that the epilepsies are characterized by network pathology that can span multiple spatial and temporal scales. Recent work indicates that infraslow (<0.2 Hz) envelope correlations may form a basis for distant spatial coupling in the brain.

Purpose: Meditation is renowned for its positive effects on cognitive abilities and stress reduction. It has been reported that the amplitude of electroencephalographic (EEG) infra-slow activity (ISA, < 0.1 Hz) is reduced as the stress level decreases.
