Neuroimaging studies in rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) can inform
fundamental questions about the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Across …

The stages of insight (SoI) are a series of psychological realizations experienced through
advanced investigative insight meditation (AIIM). SoI provide a powerful structured …

Nonpainful tactile sensory stimuli are processed in the cortex, subcortex, and brainstem.
Recent functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have highlighted the value of whole …

The brain continuously anticipates the energetic needs of the body and prepares to meet
those needs before they arise, a process called allostasis. In support of allostasis, the brain …

Neuropeptides are functionally diverse signaling molecules in the brain, regulating a wide
range of basal bodily and cognitive processes. Despite their importance, the distribution and …

Connectomes are network maps of synaptic connectivity. A key functional role of any
connectome is to constrain inter-neuronal signaling and to sculpt the flow of activity across …

Whole-brain intrinsic activity as detected by resting-state fMRI can be summarized by three
primary spatiotemporal patterns. These patterns have been shown to change with different …

This article presents a neuroscientific interpretation of Carl Jung's theory of archetypes, and
their experience in altered states of consciousness. We begin by rehearsing the Free Energy …

Although computational models have deepened our understanding of neuroscience, it is still
highly challenging to link actual low-level physiological activity (spiking, field potentials) and …

Vigilance is a continuously altering state of cortical activation that influences cognition and
behavior and is disrupted in multiple brain pathologies. Neuromodulatory nuclei in the …
