Ongoing brain activity has been observed since the earliest neurophysiological recordings
and is found over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. It is characterized by …

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

ABSTRACT A fundamental challenge in neuroscience is to uncover the principles governing
complex interactions between the brain and its external environment. Over the past few …

The trial-to-trial response variability that is shared between pairs of neurons (termed spike
count correlations or r SC) has been the subject of many recent studies largely because it …

Brain function relies on the coordination of activity across multiple, recurrently connected
brain areas. For instance, sensory information encoded in early sensory areas is relayed to …

Performing visually guided behavior involves flexible routing of sensory information towards
associative areas. We hypothesize that in visual cortical areas, this routing is shaped by a …

Neuronal connections provide the scaffolding for neuronal function. Revealing the
connectivity of functionally identified individual neurons is necessary to understand how …

There is an ongoing debate as to whether cognitive processes arise from a group of
functionally specialized brain modules (modularism) or as the result of distributed nonlinear …
