Dynamic local connectivity uncovers altered brain synchrony during propofol sedation

Abstract Human consciousness is considered a result of the synchronous “humming” of multiple dynamic networks. We performed a dynamic functional connectivity analysis using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) in 14 patients before and during a propofol infusion to characteri...
