The rapid and coordinated propagation of neural activity across the brain provides the
foundation for complex behavior and cognition. Technical advances across neuroscience …

Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely
between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. Recent results in humans and …

Animal studies of neurodevelopment have shown that recordings of intrinsic cortical activity
evolve from synchronized and high amplitude to sparse and low amplitude as plasticity …

We propose and empirically support a parsimonious account of intrinsic, brain-wide
spatiotemporal organization arising from traveling waves linked to arousal. We hypothesize …

Multimodal evidence suggests that brain regions accumulate information over timescales
that vary according to anatomical hierarchy. Thus, these experimentally defined “temporal …

The cerebellum contains the majority of neurons in the human brain and is unique for its
uniform cytoarchitecture, absence of aerobic glycolysis, and role in adaptive plasticity …

Emotions are often assumed to manifest in subcortical limbic and brainstem structures.
While these areas are clearly important for representing affect (eg, valence and arousal), we …

There is ample evidence of wave-like activity in the brain at multiple scales and levels. This
emerging literature supports the broader adoption of a wave perspective of brain activity …

Brains at rest generate dynamical activity that is highly structured in space and time. We
suggest that spontaneous activity, as in rest or dreaming, underlies top-down dynamics of …

The mechanisms controlling dynamical patterns in spontaneous brain activity are poorly
understood. Here, we provide evidence that cortical dynamics in the ultra-slow frequency …
