Article Abstract
Background: Despite pain being its most prominent feature, migraine is primarily a disorder of sensory processing. Electrophysiology-based research in the field has consistently developed over the last fifty years.
Objective: To summarize the current knowledge on the electrophysiological characteristics of the migraine brain, and discuss perspectives.
Methods: We critically reviewed the literature on the topic to present and discuss articles selected on the basis of their significance and/or novelty.
Results: Physiologic fluctuations within time, between-subject differences, and methodological issues account as major limitations of electrophysiological research in migraine. Nonetheless, several abnormalities revealed through different approaches have been described in the literature. Altogether, these results are compatible with an abnormal state of sensory processing.
Perspectives: The greatest contribution of electrophysiological testing in the future will most probably be the characterization of sub-groups of migraine patients sharing specific electrophysiological traits. This should serve as strategy towards personalized migraine treatment. Incorporation of novel methods of analysis would be worthwhile.

Dynamic changes of the S wave in lead V6: A novel visual indicator for left bundle branch capture.

Background: During the electrode screwing process in left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), the significance of the S wave in lead V6 remains elusive. Our study analyzes the change of the S wave in lead V6 under different patterns of capture and explores its mechanisms.
Methods: This study included 243 cases with criterion of selective LBBP (SLBBP), we performed continuous pacing technique and classified the electrophysiological characteristics observed during the screwing process into four patterns: left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP), non-selective LBBP (NSLBBP) in low output and in the lower output, selective LBBP.
[Multi-system involvement characteristics and influencing factors of disease progression in Kennedy's disease].

To investigate multi-system involvement in Kennedy's disease and its association with disease progression. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, laboratory, and electrophysiological data from 48 genetically confirmed patients with Kennedy's disease at the Department of Neurology, First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital, between February 2016 and February 2024. The disease progression rate was calculated based on the functional scores at baseline and follow-up.

Background: Women are under-represented in cardiovascular research, leading to poorer outcomes. Investigating sex-differences in electromechanical function is essential for improving therapy evaluation. This study presents sex-specific human cellular and biventricular electromechanical models for mechanistic investigation of sex-differences in therapeutic response.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) activity is critical for brain function, and its disruption is implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. Electrophysiological signals can be decomposed into periodic (oscillatory) and aperiodic components. In the power spectrum, the periodic component appears as narrowband peaks, while the aperiodic component underlies its characteristic 1/f power-law decay.
