The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

Understanding communication and information processing in nervous systems is a central
goal of neuroscience. Over the past two decades, advances in connectomics and network …

The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are
facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …

Significant experimental, computational, and theoretical work has identified rich structure
within the coordinated activity of interconnected neural populations. An emerging challenge …

Vision, choice, action and behavioural engagement arise from neuronal activity that may be
distributed across brain regions. Here we delineate the spatial distribution of neurons …

The ongoing exponential rise in recording capacity calls for new approaches for analysing
and interpreting neural data. Effective dimensionality has emerged as an important property …

A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …

Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to
their body and environment. These behaviours are shaped at the species level by selection …

Inter-areal coherence between field potentials is a widespread phenomenon in cortex.
Coherence has been hypothesized to reflect phase-synchronization between oscillators and …
