Consciousness arises from the spatiotemporal neural dynamics, however, its relationship with neural flexibility and regional specialization remains elusive. We identified a consciousness-related signature marked by shifting spontaneous fluctuations along a unimodal-transmodal cortical axis. This simple signature is sensitive to altered states of consciousness in single individuals, exhibiting...
Consciousness is supported by rich neuronal dynamics to orchestrate behaviors and conscious processing can be disrupted by general anesthetics. Previous studies suggested that dynamic reconfiguration of large-scale functional network is critical for learning and higher-order cognitive function. During altered states of consciousness, how brain functional networks are dynamically changed and...
