In contrast, regions in the limbic system (the amygdala, accumbens nucleus, lateral septum, and hippocampus) and in the cerebellum demonstrated increases in glucose uptake in SCI animals. Most of these effects were noted bilaterally, suggesting functional reorganization involving ascending and descending neural pathways in both hemispheres. In addition, functional metabolic connectivity between the ventral posterolateral thalamic nucleus and primary somatosensory cortex was bilaterally decreased. The current preliminary findings underscore the broadness of brain reorganization in the subacute stage following a unilateral contusive-type SCI.

However, our understanding of how acoustic signals are relayed to visual cortex is limited, particularly with respect to the involvement of different regions of auditory cortex in the most rapid stages of this communication across distinct visual areas. Here, we address this question by examining occipital intracranial responses to direct electrical stimulation of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) in 23 patients with epilepsy. Stimulation of mid- and posterior-STG elicited responses in visual cortex as early as 18 ms after onset, with a distribution that favored lateral occipital cortex, lingual gyrus, and anterior calcarine regions near peripheral V1. Early visual cortex (V1/V2) responded most strongly to stimulation over mid-STG, whereas lateral occipital cortex (near V5/hMT+) exhibited the most robust response to posterior STG stimulation. Responses in visual cortex were organized in a manner similar to that of nonhuman primates, with possible evidence for an exception over the occipital pole.

The relative contribution of these processes to encoding may vary with the conditions under which information is encountered. In particular, different presentation modalities, like virtual reality (VR) and desktop-based presentations (PC), can convey the same semantic identity of an item while differing in perceptual, spatial, and contextual information. Although VR- and PC-encoded memories have been observed to differ in retrieval processes, it remains unclear whether these differences arise during encoding. The present study addressed this question by comparing successful object encoding across presentation modes. Participants incidentally encoded everyday objects in VR and on a PC, and successful encoding was assessed by relating encoding-related EEG activity to later memory. Subsequently remembered objects elicited reliable ERP subsequent memory effects, linked to semantic, contextual, and elaborative encoding processes, as well as an enhanced theta-band response, indicating contextual integration. However, these effects were not modulated by presentation mode, consistent with comparable memory performance across conditions. In contrast, presentation mode affected encoding activity irrespective of subsequent memory success: VR elicited a more negative early ERP and stronger theta-band activity at frontal sensors than PC-based presentation, potentially reflecting altered object evaluation and enhanced visuospatial integration. These modality-dependent differences could not be attributed primarily to early visual or attentional processing, as they were not accompanied by differences in P1 or alpha-band responses. Thus, VR altered general object processing during encoding, whereas the neural processes predicting later recognition were comparable across presentation modes.</p>","PeriodicalId":11993,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Neuroscience","volume":"64 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejn.70664","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148823390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we show that brief, repeated isoflurane exposures induce alterations in behaviour, cerebrovascular patterns and microglial phenotype in adult CD1 mice, with several responses exhibiting pronounced sex specificity. Repeated anaesthesia suppressed locomotor activity selectively in females and impaired ethologically important maintenance behaviours, including nesting and burrowing, in both sexes. These behavioural effects were not accompanied by changes in cerebral blood flow dynamics, but at the molecular level, repeated isoflurane exposure altered endothelial marker expression without modifying capillary density. Isoflurane exposure shifted microglia towards a hyporeactive state.

According to the kindling protocol, KM rats were exposed to 21 daily seizure stimulations, whereas unstimulated (naive) KM rats were used as a control.

In addition, we observed decreased expression of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) and lower co-localization of vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT) with active phosphorylated synapsin I, suggesting an impaired presynaptic GABAergic vesicle function. Moreover, dysregulation of GABA-A receptor and cation-chloride transporter expression was detected, which could also exacerbate the dysfunction of GABAergic system in the hippocampus.

The present study explored whether the decrease in MEP amplitude is affected by task requirements, using reaction time (RT) paradigms that differ in the timeline of motor preparation and initiation. Participants completed simple RT (SRT), choice RT (CRT), and go/no-go (GNG) tasks, and TMS was applied at various times in the foreperiod.

Conversely, if the reduction in corticospinal excitability is associated with facilitating response initiation processes, then suppression would be expected for all tasks, including the CRT paradigm in which preparation does not occur until presentation of the go-signal. Results showed MEP amplitudes decreased for all tasks as the go-signal approached; however, both the SRT and GNG had significantly greater MEP suppression 50 ms prior to, and coincident with the go-signal.
