Article Abstract
The human brain dynamically adapts to hypoxia, a reduction in oxygen essential for metabolism. The brain's adaptive response to hypoxia, however, remains unclear. We investigated dynamic functional connectivity (FC) in healthy adults under acute hypoxia (FiO = 7.7%, 11.8%) using BOLD fMRI, physiological monitoring (PetO, PetCO, SpO), and a Go/No-Go task. Principal component analysis identified a hypoxia-responsive FC component involving 400 cerebral parcels. This component emerged with a critical drop in PetO (~53 mmHg), preceding changes in SpO, BOLD signals, and behavior. These FC changes were network-specific and centered on the default mode network (DMN), which selectively synchronized with other high-level cognitive networks. In contrast, visual networks remained stable and segregated from the DMN. These results suggest that the brain proactively reorganizes its functional architecture in anticipation of oxygen decline, rather than in response to it. FC-based markers may offer early indicators of vulnerability in neurological or neurodegenerative conditions.

The ability of parasitoid wasps to precisely locate hosts in complex environments is a key factor in suppressing pest populations. Chemical communication plays an essential role in mediating insect behaviors such as locating food sources, hosts, and mates. Odorant receptors (ORs) are the key connection between external odors and olfactory nerves.

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) serves as a critical hub for higher-order cognitive and executive functions in the human brain, coordinating brain networks whose disruption has been implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. While transcranial brain stimulation treatments often target the LPFC, our current understanding of connectivity profiles guiding these interventions based on electrophysiology remains limited. Here, we present a high-resolution probabilistic map of bidirectional effective connectivity between the LPFC and widespread cortical and subcortical regions.

Background: In the United States, a severe organ shortage precipitates an extensive transplant waitlist. Living donor kidneys are functionally superior to those from deceased donors and offer an alternative to close the supply-demand gap.
Methods: A retrospective review of 2147 patients who self-referred to begin the living kidney donation workup process at our center between June 1, 2012, and October 1, 2023 was conducted with subsequent statistical analysis of gathered data.

Sickness-induced sleep is a behavior conserved across species that promotes recovery from illness, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that interleukin-6-like cytokine signaling from the gut to brain glial cells regulates sleep. Under healthy conditions, this pathway promotes wakefulness.

Lung volume change modifies pharyngeal airway patency by altering breathing-related passive force transmission between lower and upper airways (via tracheal and other connections). We hypothesise that such force transmission may also impact active upper airway dilator muscle function by altering resting muscle length. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between end expiratory lung volume (EELV) and ability of sternohyoid muscle (SH) contraction to alter pharyngeal airway patency.
