Invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation methods are widely used in neuroscience to
establish causal relationships between distinct brain regions and the sensory, cognitive and …

By connecting old and recent notions, different spatial scales, and research domains, we
introduce a novel framework on the consequences of brain injury focusing on a key role of …

Slow waves of neuronal activity are a fundamental component of sleep that are proposed to
have homeostatic and restorative functions. Despite this, their interaction with pathology is …

Slow-wave sleep is the deep non-rapid eye-movement (NREM) sleep stage that is most
relevant for the recuperative function of sleep. Its defining property is the presence of slow …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability. While neurotechnology has shown promise for
improving upper limb recovery after stroke, efficacy in clinical trials has been variable. Our …

Sleep debt accumulates during wakefulness, leading to increased slow wave activity (SWA)
during sleep, an encephalographic marker for sleep need. The use-dependent demands of …

Schizophrenia is associated with alterations of sensory integration, cognitive processing and
both sleep architecture and sleep oscillations in mouse models and human subjects …

Sleep is known to promote recovery after stroke. Yet it remains unclear how stroke affects
neural processing during sleep. Using an experimental stroke model in rats along with …

Background Acute cerebral ischemia triggers a number of cellular mechanisms not only
leading to excitotoxic cell death but also to enhanced neuroplasticity, facilitating neuronal …

Injuries to the central nervous system (CNS) often lead to severe neurological dysfunction
and even death. However, there are still no effective measures to improve functional …
