Diverse plasticity mechanisms are orchestrated to shape the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying brain functions. However, why these plasticity rules emerge and how their …
Traveling waves of neuronal activity have been observed in many locations within the mammalian cortex. Several functional roles have been proposed for these traveling waves …
