The brain is partially protected from chemical insults by a physical barrier mainly formed by the cerebral microvasculature, which prevents penetration of hydrophilic molecules in the cerebral extracellular space. This ...

The postcentral sulcus has two fissurization patterns: (I) the sulcus extends continuously into the sylvian fissure; (II) the sulcus is interrupted in its trajectory. In the left but not in the right hemisphere, there was ...

At rest, the brain is traversed by spontaneous functional connectivity patterns. Two hypotheses have been proposed for their origins: they may reflect a continuous stream of ongoing cognitive processes as well as random ...

In this review, we discuss empirical results inspiring the introduction of a formal mathematical multilayer model for the biological neuroscience of conscious experience. First, we motivate the discussion through evidence ...

Anatomical and functional brain studies have converged to the hypothesis that autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with atypical connectivity. Using a modified resting-state paradigm to drive subjects' attention, ...

Aging begins at maturity and is characterized by increasing deviations from an ideal functional state. One major reason for this is thought to be oxydatif stress. The brain is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage. ...
