Criticality is the singular state of complex systems poised at the brink of a phase transition
between order and randomness. Such systems display remarkable information-processing …

The spontaneous replay of patterns of activity related to past experiences and memories is a
striking feature of brain activity, as is the coherent activation of sets of brain areas …

A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

The entropic brain hypothesis proposes that within upper and lower limits, after which
consciousness may be lost, the entropy of spontaneous brain activity indexes the …

Cognitive function requires the coordination of neural activity across many scales, from
neurons and circuits to large-scale networks. As such, it is unlikely that an explanatory …

Modelling the human brain as a complex network has provided a powerful mathematical
framework to characterize the structural and functional architectures of the brain. In the past …

Biological entities are involved in intricate and complex interactions, in which uncovering the
biological information from the network concepts are of great significance. Benefiting from …

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 …

Functional connectivity (FC) sheds light on the interactions between different brain regions.
Besides basic research, it is clinically relevant for applications in Alzheimer's disease …

Concepts shape the interpretation of facts. One of the most popular concepts in systems
neuroscience is that of 'hierarchy'. However, this concept has been interpreted in many …
