The past 25 years have seen a strong increase in the number of publications related to
criticality in different areas of neuroscience. The potential of criticality to explain various …

Self-organized criticality (SOC) refers to the ability of complex systems to evolve toward a
second-order phase transition at which interactions between system components lead to …

The human organism comprises various physiological and organ systems, each with its own
structural organization and functional complexity, leading to complex, transient, fluctuating …

The basic theoretical assumptions of Exercise Physiology and its research directions,
strongly influenced by reductionism, may hamper the full potential of basic science …

Sleep control depends on a delicate interplay among brain regions. This generates a
complex temporal architecture with numerous sleep-stage transitions and intermittent …

For over a century, the role of the preoptic hypothalamus and adjacent basal forebrain in
sleep–wake regulation has been recognized. However, for years, the identity and location of …

The proper development of sleep and sleep-wake rhythms during early neonatal life is
crucial to lifelong neurological well-being. Recent data suggests that infants who have poor …

Self-organized criticality has been proposed to be a universal mechanism for the emergence
of scale-free dynamics in many complex systems, and possibly in the brain. While such …

Skeletal muscle activity is continuously modulated across physiologic states to provide
coordination, flexibility and responsiveness to body tasks and external inputs. Despite the …

The current paradigm in brain research focuses on individual brain rhythms, their
spatiotemporal organization, and specific pairwise interactions in association with …
