Diffusion MRI‐based tractography is the most commonly‐used technique when inferring the
structural brain connectome, ie, the comprehensive map of the connections in the brain. The …

Abstract The Entangled Brain (Pessoa, L., 2002. MIT Press) promotes the idea that we need
to understand the brain as a complex, entangled system. Why does the complex systems …

Studies of large-scale brain organization have revealed interesting relationships between
spatial gradients in brain maps across multiple modalities. Evaluating the significance of …

Inter-areal coherence between field potentials is a widespread phenomenon in cortex.
Coherence has been hypothesized to reflect phase-synchronization between oscillators and …

Abstract The Human Connectome Project consortium led by Washington University,
University of Minnesota, and Oxford University is undertaking a systematic effort to map …

Background The human brain presents a puzzling and challenging paradox: Despite a fixed
anatomy, characterized by its connectivity, its functional repertoire is vast, enabling action …

In most sensory modalities, neuronal connectivity reflects behaviorally relevant stimulus
features, such as spatial location, orientation, and sound frequency. By contrast, the …

Visual cortical areas subserve cognitive functions by interacting in both feedforward and
feedback directions. While feedforward influences convey sensory signals, feedback …

Cognitive functions rely on the coordinated activity of neurons in many brain regions, but the
interactions between cortical areas are not yet well understood. Here we investigated …

This Perspective considers the influential notion of a canonical (cortical) microcircuit in light
of recent theories about neuronal processing. Specifically, we conciliate quantitative studies …
