Lorazepam is a fast-acting benzodiazepine that is widely used to manage anxiety symptoms through modulation of GABAergic activity. Despite being one of the most prescribed benzodiazepines, the effects of a single dose of lorazepam on brain functional connectivity at rest is not known. In this pla ...

Gene duplication is common across the Tree of Life and contributes to genomic robustness. In this study, we examined changes in the subcellular localization and abundance of proteins in response to the deletion of their paralogs originating from the whole-genome duplication event, which is a larg ...

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and hearing loss (HL) have been separately associated with increased dementia risk. These highly co-occurring dementia risk factors are associated with aberrant functional brain connectivity. In individuals with HL aberrant functional connectivity has been associated with cognitive impairment. In individuals with MCI, aberr ...

Background: The relationship between task-related hemodynamic activity and brain excitability is poorly understood in humans as it is technically challenging to combine simultaneously non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging modalities. Cortical excitability corresponds to the readiness to ...

In recent decades, the study of the opportunistic pathogenic fungus, Candida albicans, has been revolutionized by genomics, transforming our understanding of its molecular biology, pathogenicity, and modes of drug resistance. In this review, our effort is to trace the historical development of C. albicans research, from early clinical observations to mode ...

BackgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI), a prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) for many individuals, is accompanied by widespread connected speech (CS) changes (e.g., shorter CS samples, mention of fewer semantic content units, lower syntactic complexity). Nevertheless, findings on CS in MCI are heterogeneous. This heterogeneity, combined wi ...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the subjective performance evaluations on pilot trainees' aircraft control abilities and their brainwave dynamics reflected in the results from EEG microstate analysis. Specifically, we seek to identify correlations between distinct microstate patterns and each dimension included in th ...

Sleep research has evolved considerably since the first sleep electroencephalography recordings in the 1930s and the discovery of well-distinguishable sleep stages in the 1950s. While electrophysiological recordings have been used to describe the sleeping brain in much detail, since the 1990s neu ...
