Excitation–inhibition balance, neural criticality, and activities in neuronal circuits
Neural activities in local circuits exhibit complex and multilevel dynamic features. Individual
neurons spike irregularly, which is believed to originate from receiving balanced amounts of …

Quasiuniversal scaling in mouse-brain neuronal activity stems from edge-of-instability critical dynamics
The brain is in a state of perpetual reverberant neural activity, even in the absence of
specific tasks or stimuli. Shedding light on the origin and functional significance of such a …

[HTML][HTML] Signature of consciousness in brain-wide synchronization patterns of monkey and human fMRI signals
During the sleep-wake cycle, the brain undergoes profound dynamical changes, which
manifest subjectively as transitions between conscious experience and unconsciousness …

Hybrid-type synchronization transitions: Where incipient oscillations, scale-free avalanches, and bistability live together
The human cortex is never at rest but in a state of sparse and noisy neural activity that can
be detected at broadly diverse resolution scales. It has been conjectured that such a state is …
