The anatomy of the brain necessarily constrains its function, but precisely how remains
unclear. The classical and dominant paradigm in neuroscience is that neuronal dynamics are …

The brain is widely assumed to be a paradigmatic example of a complex, self-organizing
system. As such, it should exhibit the classic hallmarks of nonlinearity, multistability, and “…

Brain regions vary in their molecular and cellular composition, but how this heterogeneity
shapes neuronal dynamics is unclear. Here, we investigate the dynamical consequences of …

One of the most controversial procedures in the analysis of resting-state functional magnetic
resonance imaging (rsfMRI) data is global signal regression (GSR): the removal, via linear …

Brain network hubs are both highly connected and highly inter-connected, forming a critical
communication backbone for coherent neural dynamics. The mechanisms driving this …

Neural field theory of the corticothalamic system is applied to predict and analyze the activity
eigenmodes of the bihemispheric brain, focusing particularly on their spatial structure. The …

The complex connectivity of nervous systems is thought to have been shaped by competitive
selection pressures to minimize wiring costs and support adaptive function. Accordingly, …

Functional MRI (fMRI) experiments rely on precise characterization of the blood oxygen
level dependent (BOLD) signal. As the spatial resolution of fMRI reaches the sub-millimeter …

Event-related fluctuations of neural oscillatory amplitude are reported widely in the context
of cognitive processing and are typically interpreted as a marker of brain “activity”. However, …

Directing attention helps to extract relevant information and suppress distracters. Alpha
brain oscillations (8–12 Hz) are crucial for this process, with power decreases facilitating …
