  "summary": "Consciousness is a dynamic brain state, yet the systems-level mechanisms underlying transitions into and out of unconsciousness remain poorly understood. It is unclear whether neural dynamics during loss of consciousness (LOC) and recovery of consciousness (ROC) simply retrace the same trajectory or instead follow distinct paths across multiple spatial scales. Here, we simultaneously measured…",
