Multicellular organisms are composed of diverse cell types that must coordinate their
behaviors through communication. Cell–cell communication (CCC) is essential for growth …

Neuronal signalling and communication underpin virtually all aspects of brain activity and
function. Network science approaches to modelling and analysing the dynamics of …

Neural communication networks form the fundamental basis for brain function. These
communication networks are enabled by emitted ligands such as neurotransmitters, which …

Can we construct a model of brain function that enables an understanding of whole-brain
circuit mechanisms underlying neurological disease and use it to predict the outcome of …

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a devastating mental disorder that affects up to 17% of
the population worldwide. Although brain-wide network-level abnormalities in MDD patients …

The salience network (SN) and default mode network (DMN) play a crucial role in cognitive
function. The SN, anchored in the anterior insular cortex (AI), has been hypothesized to …

The hippocampus, including the dorsal dentate gyrus (dDG), and cortex engage in
bidirectional communication. We propose that low-frequency activity in hippocampal …

Cortical arealization arises during neurodevelopment from the confluence of molecular
gradients representing patterned expression of morphogens and transcription factors …

Spontaneous slow oscillation-associated slow wave activity represents an internally
generated state which is characterized by alternations of network quiescence and …

Abstracts Functional connectivity, which reflects the spatial and temporal organization of
intrinsic activity throughout the brain, is one of the most studied measures in human …
