How do our brains monitor the environment during sleep? Traditional views consider sleep a disconnected state. Yet, neural processing of sensory information persists, albeit resulting in different perceptual experiences compared to wakefulness. Here, we investigated the neural temporal lobe circuits underlying auditory processing during wake and sleep and how sleep physiology affects the processing of auditory stimuli. This was accomplished through the investigation of intracranial electrophysiological responses to pure-tone auditory stimulation (Panel A) in 18 neurosurgical patients with medi

Currently, it is unknown, if fetal brain asymmetry can be altered in structural brain alterations such as callosal agenesis, genetic syndromes, or acquired disorders such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Little is known about the consequences of inversely expressed asymmetry or marked symmetry of the perisylvian region. This retrospective study aimed to assess the frequency of normal and abnormal fetal brain asymmetry patterns in different fetal disorders.Analyzing fetal MR imaging data from 125 cases (37% CCA, 21% FASD, 42% genetic disorders) and 125 1:1 matched neurotypical control cases, asymmetr
