Hierarchical processing requires activity propagating between higher-and lower-order
cortical areas. However, functional neuroimaging studies have chiefly quantified fluctuations …

The laminar microstructure of the cerebral cortex has distinct anatomical characteristics of
the development, function, connectivity, and even various pathologies of the brain. In recent …

Network control theory (NCT) is a simple and powerful tool for studying how network
topology informs and constrains dynamics. Compared to other structure-function coupling …

Theories of consciousness suggest that brain mechanisms underlying transitions into and
out of unconsciousness are conserved no matter the context or precipitating conditions. We …

Dynamics play a critical role in computation. The principled evolution of states over time
enables both biological and artificial networks to represent and integrate information to …

Patterns of neural activity underlie human cognition. Transitions between these patterns are
orchestrated by the brain's network architecture. What are the mechanisms linking network …

The aging brain undergoes major changes in its topology. The mechanisms by which the
brain mitigates age-associated changes in topology to maintain robust control of brain …

The human brain is a complex system with high metabolic demands and extensive
connectivity that requires control to balance energy consumption and functional efficiency …

Background Heavy alcohol use (HAU) and its associated conditions, such as alcohol use
disorder (AUD), impact millions of individuals worldwide. While our understanding of the …

Understanding how the brain's macroscale dynamics are shaped by underlying microscale
mechanisms is a key problem in neuroscience. In animal models, we can now investigate …
