Severe brain injury can lead to disorders of consciousness (DOCs).Since DOC patients cannot communicate functionally or behave purposefully,most remain bedridden and require laborious care.The medical community is often confronted with the expectations of the families of chronic DOC patients,and the social,economic,and ethical consequences are tremendous.Research on DOCs is attracting increasing attention from scientists and physicians in various fields.With the development of modem neuroimaging and neuromodulation techniques,much progress has been made in the diagnosis,prognosis,treatment,and rehabilitation of DOCs in the last decade.

The current study was designed to explore how disruption of specific molecular circuits in the cerebral cortex may cause sensorimotor cortico-striatal community structure deficits in both a mouse model and patients with schizophrenia.We used prepulse inhi
Human brain banks collect,preserve,and distributepostmortem and biopsied brain samples for histological,pathological,and molecular research.Different from the western countries,human brain banking in China has remained preliminary over decades.
Animals always seek rewards and the related neural basis has been well studied.However,what happens when animals fail to get a reward is largely unknown,although this is commonly seen in behaviors such as predation.Here,we set up a behavioral model of rep
Immediate-early genes (IEGs) have long been used to visualize neural activations induced by sensory and behavioral stimuli.Recent advances in imaging techniques have made it possible to use endogenous IEG signals to visualize and discriminate neural ensem
Dear Editor,rnBacteriophages are viruses that attack bacteria and kill them through the lytic replication cycle.Many studies have reported that phages are more specific to bacteria than antibiotics are;thus,phage therapy has many potential applications in

Orexin,released from the hypothalamus,has been implicated in various basic non-somatic functions including feeding,the sleep-wakefulness cycle,emotion,and cognition.However,the role of orexin in somatic motor control is still little known.Here,using whole
