Self-organized criticality (SOC) refers to the ability of complex systems to evolve toward a
second-order phase transition at which interactions between system components lead to …

Abstract Systems neuroscience is still mainly a neuronal field, despite the plethora of
evidence supporting the fact that astrocytes modulate local neural circuits, networks, and …

Abstract Recording infraslow brain signals (< 0.1 Hz) with microelectrodes is severely
hampered by current microelectrode materials, primarily due to limitations resulting from …

Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are classically thought to be associated with spreading
depression of cortical activity. Here, we found that SDs in patients with subarachnoid …

The ability of different groups of cortical neurons to engage in causal interactions that are at
once differentiated and integrated results in complex dynamic patterns. Complexity is low …

Accurate population models are needed to build very large-scale neural models, but their
derivation is difficult for realistic networks of neurons, in particular when nonlinear properties …

The slow oscillation is a synchronized network activity expressed by the cortical network in
slow wave sleep and under anesthesia. Waking up requires a transition from this …

Quantitative estimations of spatiotemporal complexity of cortical activity patterns are used in
the clinic as a measure of consciousness levels, but the cortical mechanisms involved are …

Cortical circuits generate patterned activities that reflect intrinsic brain dynamics that lay the
foundation for any, including stimuli-evoked, cognition and behavior. However, the …

Background Breast reconstruction (BR) is performed to improve outcomes for patients
undergoing mastectomy. A recently developed core outcome set for BR includes six patient …
