Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems
MA Munoz - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

Thermodynamics and signatures of criticality in a network of neurons
The activity of a neural network is defined by patterns of spiking and silence from the
individual neurons. Because spikes are (relatively) sparse, patterns of activity with …

Information processing in living systems
Life depends as much on the flow of information as on the flow of energy. Here we review
the many efforts to make this intuition precise. Starting with the building blocks of information …

Collective behavior of place and non-place neurons in the hippocampal network
Discussions of the hippocampus often focus on place cells, but many neurons are not place
cells in any given environment. Here we describe the collective activity in such mixed …

Hierarchical connectome modes and critical state jointly maximize human brain functional diversity
The brain requires diverse segregated and integrated processing to perform normal
functions in terms of anatomical structure and self-organized dynamics with critical features …

Second type of criticality in the brain uncovers rich multiple-neuron dynamics
Cortical networks that have been found to operate close to a critical point exhibit joint
activations of large numbers of neurons. However, in motor cortex of the awake macaque …
