Studies of brain network connectivity improved understanding on brain changes and
adaptation in response to different pathologies. Synaptic plasticity, the ability of neurons to …

The human connectome refers to a map of the brain's structural connections, rendered as a
connection matrix or network. This article attempts to trace some of the historical origins of …

Persistent neuronal spiking has long been considered the mechanism underlying working
memory, but recent proposals argue for alternative 'activity-silent'substrates. Using monkey …

Simultaneous recordings from large neural populations are becoming increasingly common.
An important feature of population activity is the trial-to-trial correlated fluctuation of spike …

Graph theory is now becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience. However,
endowing observed brain anatomy and dynamics with a complex network structure does not …

The brain exhibits complex spatio-temporal patterns of activity. This phenomenon is
governed by an interplay between the internal neural dynamics of cortical areas and their …

Neural population equations such as neural mass or field models are widely used to study
brain activity on a large scale. However, the relation of these models to the properties of …

Many qualitative features of the emerging collective dynamics in neuronal networks, such as
correlated activity, stability, response to inputs, and chaotic and regular behavior, can be …

Correlations in spike-train ensembles can seriously impair the encoding of information by
their spatio-temporal structure. An inevitable source of correlation in finite neural networks is …

Zero-lag synchronization between distant cortical areas has been observed in a diversity of
experimental data sets and between many different regions of the brain. Several …
