Learning sculpts the spontaneous activity of the resting human brain.

3 Oct 2009 The brain is not a passive sensory-motor analyzer driven by environmental stimuli, but actively maintains ongoing representations that may be involved in the coding of expected sensory stimuli, prospective motor responses, and prior experience. ... Read more...

Resting our cortices by going DOWN to sleep.

22 Sep 2009 In this issue of Neuron, Vyazovskiy et al. reports on progressive changes in cortical unit activity within extended wakefulness and within extended sleep paralleling changes in EEG slow-wave sleep activity. Sleep debt may be integrated at the level ... Read more...

The characteristics of no-go potentials with intraepidermal stimulation.

24 Aug 2009 The objective of this study was to investigate whether no-go potentials during go/no-go tasks were observed after painful stimulation using intraepidermal electrical stimulation. Event-related potentials were recorded by stimulating the medial or ... Read more...
