The brain must dynamically integrate, coordinate, and respond to internal and external
stimuli across multiple time scales. Non-invasive measurements of brain activity with fMRI …

Brains at rest generate dynamical activity that is highly structured in space and time. We
suggest that spontaneous activity, as in rest or dreaming, underlies top-down dynamics of …

INTRODUCTION In the absence of sensory inputs, the brain produces structured patterns of
activity, which can be as large as or larger than sensory-driven activity. Ongoing activity …

Recent studies in mice have shown that orofacial behaviors drive a large fraction of neural
activity across the brain. To understand the nature and function of these signals, we need …

Sensory areas are spontaneously active in the absence of sensory stimuli. This
spontaneous activity has long been studied; however, its functional role remains largely …

There is increasing evidence that the brain relies on a set of canonical neural computations,
repeating them across brain regions and modalities to apply similar operations to different …

Definitions of what constitutes the 'signal of interest'in neuroscience can be controversial,
due in part to continuously evolving notions regarding the significance of spontaneous …

Visual cortical neurons fire at higher rates to visual stimuli during locomotion than during
immobility, while maintaining orientation selectivity. The mechanisms underlying this change …

The brain continuously adapts its processing machinery to behavioural demands. To
achieve this, it rapidly modulates the operating mode of cortical circuits, controlling the way …

Characterization of large‐scale brain networks using blood‐oxygenation‐level‐dependent
functional magnetic resonance imaging is typically based on the assumption of network …
