Abstract Previous research has shown that the respiratory phase correlates with both voluntary action timing and readiness potential (RP) amplitude, but whether this relationship is causal or merely correlational remains unclear. Here, we experimentally manipulated breathing patterns to test if the respiratory phase causally influences the neural preparation for voluntary movement. Participants performed self-initiated button presses under four conditions: breathing in (BI), breathing out (BO),

Abstract Background and Objectives The identification of cognitive biomarkers in preoperative counselling and their monitoring during brain surgery is of growing interest for the safe conduction of resective intracranial procedures with potential impact on the patients’ personality. The conscious experience of identifying with the body (self-identification) and of where ‘I’ am in space(self-location) are central for bodily self-consciousness (BSC). In a virtual reality (VR) paradigm using multis

ABSTRACT Personality changes following neurosurgical procedures pose a major concern for patients and remain poorly understood both by clinicians and neuroscientists. Here we report a case of a female patient in her 50s who underwent resection of a large sagittal sinus meningioma with bilateral extension, including resection and ligation of the superior sagittal sinus, that resulted in borderline personality disorder and symptoms resembling the Gastaut-Geschwind syndrome. Clinical observations w
