Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02456-0Using high-density electrocorticography, Zhao et al. reveal shared frontoparietal planning and modality-specific sensorimotor codes for imagined and spoken speech, enabling robust...

Comprehensive profiling of brain dynamics during anesthesia across phylogeny

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 29, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02460-4In this study, Luppi et al. systematically characterized and modeled more than 6,000 features of neural activity during anesthesia. They reveal a shared but reversible dynamical...

Conserved neural dynamics of anesthesia and the oblivion of species

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 29, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02399-6General anesthetics seem to work in all living species. This raises the question of whether there are common changes in neural activity that occur during transitions between...
