Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences August 27, 2013 Jimo Borjigin, UnCheol Lee, Tiecheng Liu et al.
The brain is assumed to be hypoactive during cardiac arrest. However, the neurophysiological state of the brain immediately following cardiac arrest has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we performed continuous electroencephalography in rats undergoing experimental cardiac arrest and analyzed changes in power density, coherence, directed connectivity, and cross-frequency...
