[HTML][HTML] Linking structure and function in macroscale brain networks

LE Suárez, RD Markello, RF Betzel, B Misic - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2020 - cell.com
Structure–function relationships are a fundamental principle of many naturally occurring
systems. However, network neuroscience research suggests that there is an imperfect link …

[HTML][HTML] What have we really learned from functional connectivity in clinical populations?

J Zhang, A Kucyi, J Raya, AN Nielsen, JS Nomi… - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
Functional connectivity (FC), or the statistical interdependence of blood-oxygen dependent
level (BOLD) signals between brain regions using fMRI, has emerged as a widely used tool …

[HTML][HTML] Geometric constraints on human brain function

JC Pang, KM Aquino, M Oldehinkel, PA Robinson… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
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 …

Global waves synchronize the brain's functional systems with fluctuating arousal

RV Raut, AZ Snyder, A Mitra, D Yellin, N Fujii… - Science …, 2021 - science.org
We propose and empirically support a parsimonious account of intrinsic, brain-wide
spatiotemporal organization arising from traveling waves linked to arousal. We hypothesize …

Dynamic coupling of whole-brain neuronal and neurotransmitter systems

ML Kringelbach, J Cruzat, J Cabral… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Remarkable progress has come from whole-brain models linking anatomy and function.
Paradoxically, it is not clear how a neuronal dynamical system running in the fixed human …

Interacting spiral wave patterns underlie complex brain dynamics and are related to cognitive processing

Y Xu, X Long, J Feng, P Gong - Nature human behaviour, 2023 - nature.com
The large-scale activity of the human brain exhibits rich and complex patterns, but the
spatiotemporal dynamics of these patterns and their functional roles in cognition remain …

[HTML][HTML] Cognitive performance in healthy older adults relates to spontaneous switching between states of functional connectivity during rest

J Cabral, D Vidaurre, P Marques, R Magalhães… - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Growing evidence has shown that brain activity at rest slowly wanders through a repertoire
of different states, where whole-brain functional connectivity (FC) temporarily settles into …

Awakening: Predicting external stimulation to force transitions between different brain states

G Deco, J Cruzat, J Cabral… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
A fundamental problem in systems neuroscience is how to force a transition from one brain
state to another by external driven stimulation in, for example, wakefulness, sleep, coma, or …

Causation in neuroscience: Keeping mechanism meaningful

LN Ross, DS Bassett - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
A fundamental goal of research in neuroscience is to uncover the causal structure of the
brain. This focus on causation makes sense, because causal information can provide …

[HTML][HTML] Subcortical-cortical dynamical states of the human brain and their breakdown in stroke

C Favaretto, M Allegra, G Deco, NV Metcalf… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The mechanisms controlling dynamical patterns in spontaneous brain activity are poorly
understood. Here, we provide evidence that cortical dynamics in the ultra-slow frequency …
