Network science provides a set of tools for the characterization of the structure and
functional behavior of complex systems. Yet a major problem is to quantify how the structural …

Highlights•A mechanism for NREM-mediated homeostatic function is proposed.•The
mechanism relies on sequential activity at the DOWN→ UP transition.•Spiking from high-to …

Hippocampal activity is fundamental for episodic memory formation and consolidation.
During phases of rest and sleep, it exhibits sharp-wave/ripple (SPW/R) complexes, which …

According to a two-stage memory consolidation model, during waking theta states, afferent
activity from the neocortex to the hippocampus induces transient synaptic modification in the …

Naturally log‐scaled quantities abound in the nervous system. Distributions of these
quantities have non‐intuitive properties, which have implications for data analysis and the …

Hippocampal sharp wave/ripple oscillations are a prominent pattern of collective activity,
which consists of a strong overall increase of activity with superimposed (140− 200 Hz) …

Reliable signal transmission constitutes a key requirement for neural circuit function. The
propagation of synchronous pulse packets through recurrent circuits is hypothesized to be …

It has recently been discovered that single neuron stimulation can impact network dynamics
in immature and adult neuronal circuits. Here we report a novel mechanism which can …

Experimental measurements of pairwise connection probability of pyramidal neurons
together with the distribution of synaptic weights have been used to construct randomly …

Coherent neural spiking and local field potentials are believed to be signatures of the
binding and transfer of information in the brain. Coherent activity has now been measured …
