Electrophysiology – News and Features

A study reveals unique brain activity during lucid dreaming. Using EEG data, the research identifies reduced beta-band power and increased gamma-band activity in specific brain regions.

Tiny cells inside small blood vessels called pericytes can be forced to change shape and create "cellular bridges" that support axon regeneration after spinal cord injury.

Researchers have identified that SIRT2, an enzyme involved in neurotransmitter production, plays a key role in memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease.

A study reveals that the HDAC5 enzyme regulates the gene Scn4b, which affects neuronal activity in the brain's reward regions. This regulation helps form long-lasting drug memories and contributes to relapse in cocaine use disorder.

A large study of ADHD medications reveals small increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Despite concerns, these changes are generally not clinically significant. The findings suggest that cardiovascular monitoring is still important.

The adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, helping to repair damaged neural networks in Huntington's disease.

The researchers say their finding expands the understanding of tandem kinase proteins functionality.

Researchers have used AI to calculate the biological age of the heart from ECG data.

Researchers discovered that ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in the brain play a pivotal role in sleep regulation. These energy sensors help maintain sleep-wake cycles and smooth transitions between them.

Explore the evolution of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology, including its fundamental limitations and future prospects.
