Most of the mammalian neocortex is comprised of a highly similar anatomical structure,
consisting of a granular cell layer between superficial and deep layers. Even so, different …

Whether, when, and how causal interactions between neurons can be meaningfully studied
from observations of neural activity alone are vital questions in neural data analysis. Here …

Demystifying effective connectivity among neuronal populations has become the trend to
understand the brain mechanisms of Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, mild traumatic …

In neuroscience, it is of key importance to assess how neurons interact with each other as
evidenced via their firing patterns and rates. We here introduce a method of smoothing the …

Information flow or causal interaction between neuronal populations of the brain is a critical
issue in describing the dynamics of such a complex network, which can be best described …

Recent advances in neurophysiology have led to the development of complex dynamical
models that describe the connections and causal interactions between different regions of …

Complex cognitive functions in a mammalian brain are distributed across many anatomically
and functionally distinct areas and rely on highly dynamic routing of neural activity across …

To understand how neural networks process information, it is important to investigate how
neural network dynamics varies with respect to different stimuli. One challenging task is to …

Despite the considerable progress of in vivo neural recording techniques, inferring the
biophysical mechanisms underlying large scale coordination of brain activity from neural …

Introduction: Transient phenomena play a key role in coordinating brain activity at multiple
scales, however their underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. A key challenge for …
