Modulation of interactions among neurons can manifest as dramatic changes in the state of
population dynamics in cerebral cortex. How such transitions in cortical state impact the …

Thermodynamic criticality describes emergent phenomena in a wide variety of complex
systems. In the mammalian cortex, one type of complex dynamics that spontaneously …

Fundamental to the function of nervous systems is the ability to reorganize to cope with
changing sensory input. Although well-studied in single neurons, how such adaptive …

Brain activity displays a large repertoire of dynamics across the sleep-wake cycle and even
during anesthesia. It was suggested that criticality could serve as a unifying principle …

Cortical networks exhibit intrinsic dynamics that drive coordinated, large-scale fluctuations
across neuronal populations and create noise correlations that impact sensory coding. To …

Many large-scale functional connectivity studies have emphasized the importance of
communication through increased inter-region correlations during task states. In contrast …

An animal's behavioral state is reflected in the dynamics of cortical population activity and its
capacity to process sensory information. To better understand the relationship between …

Long-range corticocortical communication may have important roles in context-dependent
sensory processing, yet we know very little about how these pathways influence their target …

Decades of neurobiological research have disclosed the diverse manners in which the
response properties of neurons are dynamically modulated to support adaptive cognitive …

We report the results of our experimental and theoretical investigations of the neural
response dynamics in primary visual cortex (V1) during naturalistic visual stimulation. We …
