Gamma rhythms play a major role in many different processes in the brain, such as attention, working memory, and sensory processing. While typically considered detrimental, counterintuitively noise can sometimes have beneficial effects on communication and information transfer. Recently, Meng and Riecke showed that synchronization of interacting networks of inhibitory neurons in the gamma band (i.e., […]

With the aging process, brain functions, such as attention, memory, and cognitive functions, degrade over time. In a super-aging society, the alteration of neural activity owing to aging is considered crucial for interventions for the prevention of brain dysfunction. The complexity of temporal neural fluctuations with temporal scale dependency plays an important role in optimal […]

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are commonly prescribed with antidepressants that may increase bleeding risk. Here we assessed the association between DOACs with and without concurrent antidepressants and major bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by a retrospective cohort study included patients with AF who received prescriptions of DOACs in Taiwan’s National Health Insurance […]
