Power laws and distributions with heavy tails are common features of many complex
systems. Examples are the distribution of earthquake magnitudes, solar flare intensities and …

Turing inspired a computer metaphor of the mind and brain that has been handy and has
spawned decades of empirical investigation, but he did much more and offered behavioral …

Sensory events, cognitive processing and motor actions correlate with transient changes in
neuronal activity. In cortex, these transients form widespread spatiotemporal patterns with …

Over the last 200 years, mining, smelting, and refining of aluminum (Al) in various forms
have increasingly exposed living species to this naturally abundant metal. Because of its …

The finding of power law scaling in neural recordings lends support to the hypothesis of
critical brain dynamics. However, power laws are not unique to critical systems and can …

The activity in the brain cortex remarkably shows a simultaneous presence of robust
collective oscillations and neuronal avalanches, where intermittent bursts of pseudo …

A growing body of evidence suggests that the neuronal dynamics are poised at criticality.
Neuronal avalanches and long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) are hallmarks of such …

A homeostatic mechanism that keeps the brain highly susceptible to stimuli and optimizes
many of its functions—although this is a compelling theoretical argument in favor of the brain …

Activity in the brain propagates as waves of firing neurons, namely avalanches. These
waves' size and duration distributions have been experimentally shown to display a stable …

What information single neurons receive about general neural circuit activity is a
fundamental question for neuroscience. Somatic membrane potential (V m) fluctuations are …
