For cognitive processes to function well, it is essential that the brain is optimally supplied
with oxygen and blood. In recent years, evidence has emerged suggesting that cerebral …

We process and integrate multiple timescales into one meaningful whole. Recent evidence
suggests that the brain displays a complex multiscale temporal organization. Different …

Alterations in brain intrinsic activity—as organized in resting-state networks (RSNs) such as
sensorimotor network (SMN), salience network (SN), and default-mode network (DMN) …

Humans spend much of their time engaged in stimulus-independent thoughts, colloquially
known as “daydreaming” or “mind-wandering.” A fundamental question concerns how …

Depressive and manic phases in bipolar disorder show opposite constellations of affective,
cognitive, and psychomotor symptoms. At a neural level, these may be related to …

Spatial patterns of coherent activity across different brain areas have been identified during
the resting-state fluctuations of the brain. However, recent studies indicate that resting-state …

Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

Recent work in neuroscience supports the idea that variability in brain function is necessary
for optimal brain responsivity to a changing environment. In this review, we discuss a series …

Objective. Predicting how the brain can be driven to specific states by means of internal or
external control requires a fundamental understanding of the relationship between neural …

Dopaminergic projections are hypothesized to stabilize neural signaling and neural
representations, but how they shape regional information processing and large-scale …
