Synchronization Through Uncorrelated Noise in Excitatory-Inhibitory Networks

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., […]

Alteration of Neural Network Activity With Aging Focusing on Temporal Complexity and Functional Connectivity Within Electroencephalography

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 […]

Major Bleeding Risk in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation Concurrently Taking Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Antidepressants

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 […]
