Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can lead to cognitive impairment (CI), but underlying neural mechanisms remain to be elucidated.
Materials And Methods: To predict long-term CI after aSAH, resting electroencephalography (EEG) was measured in 112 patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of aSAH ( n = 66) or unruptured intracranial aneurysms (controls) ( n = 46). A neuropsychological battery was administered 8-24 months after discharge.
Results: Power spectrum analysis in the parietal-occipital lobe showed significantly higher power theta vs. alpha oscillations in patients with CI after aSAH. The power of theta and alpha oscillations were significantly correlated with multiple cognitive scale scores on the neuropsychological battery. A neural model was established, which showed that connectivity between inhibitory and excitatory neurons in neural circuits contributed to changes in theta and alpha oscillations and CI in aSAH.
Conclusion: The data collection, analysis, and computational model established in this study can serve as a new paradigm for other clinical studies investigating CI.

Cognitive control - the ability to regulate information processing in line with current goals - is essential for cognitive functioning. We examined whether uncertainty in cognitive control demands leads to higher processing of cues that reduce uncertainty. Participants completed a Go/NoGo task with two NoGo:Go ratios (4:5 and 1:6).

Study Objectives: There are large individual differences in the homeostatic response to sleep deprivation, as reflected in slow wave sleep (SWS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral power, which have largely been left unexplained. Recent evidence suggests the possible involvement of the activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein () gene. Here we assessed the effects of the "c.

Unlabelled: Purpose: Idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a sleep disorder considered to be a prodromal stage of neurodegeneration disease and is often accompanied by cognitive impairments. The purpose of this study was to investigate spatiotemporal characteristics of abnormal oscillatory cortical activity associated with dysfunction of visuospatial attention in iRBD based on an explainable machine learning approach. Methods: EEGs were recorded from 49 iRBD patients and 49 normal controls while they were performing Posner's cueing task and transformed to cortical current density time-series.

Aims: Decoding the motor intention by electroencephalography to control external devices is an effective method of helping spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to regain motor function. Still, SCI patients have much lower accuracy in the decoding of motor intentions compared to healthy individuals, which severely hampers the clinical application. However, the underlying neural mechanisms are still unknown.

Initial findings linking Virtual Reality (VR)-based encoding to increased recollection at retrieval remain inconclusive due to heterogeneous study designs and dependence on behavioral data. To clarify under which circumstances VR-based encoding affects or enhances episodic memory retrieval, the fundamental question remains whether the encoding modality, i.e.
