TLDR
The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.Abstract:
Prelude. Cycle 1. Introduction. Cycle 2. Structure defines function. Cycle 3. Diversity of cortical functions is provided by inhibition. Cycle 4. Windows on the brain. Cycle 5. A system of rhythms: from simple to complex dynamics. Cycle 6. Synchronization by oscillation. Cycle 7. The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep. Cycle 8. Perturbation of the default patterns by experience. Cycle 9. The gamma buzz: gluing by oscillations in the waking brain. Cycle 10. Perceptions and actions are brain state-dependent. Cycle 11. Oscillations in the "other cortex:" navigation in real and memory space. Cycle 12. Coupling of systems by oscillations. Cycle 13. The tough problem. References.read more

Calretinin expression in the mammalian neocortex: a review.
Filip Barinka,Rastislav Druga +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the actual knowledge of the functions of calretinin in neuronal homeostasis and particularly of the distribution, connectivity and physiological properties of cal retinin expressing interneurons in the neocortex of rodents and primates, including humans.
BookDOI
Dynamic coordination in the brain : from neurons to mind
TL;DR: This book considers the role of dynamic coordination in temporally structured activity and explores these issues at different levels, from synaptic and local circuit mechanisms to macroscopic system dynamics, emphasizing their importance for cognition, behavior, and psychopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenous Cortical Oscillations Constrain Neuromodulation by Weak Electric Fields
TL;DR: The results suggest that stimulation precisely adjusted in frequency to the endogenous oscillations is key to rational design of non-invasive brain stimulation paradigms and suggest that the key mechanism of tACS may be enhancing, but not overriding, intrinsic network dynamics.

The effect of souvenaid on functional brain network organisation in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease: a randomised controlled study.
Hanneke de Waal,Cornelis J. Stam,Marieke M. Lansbergen,R.L. Wieggers,Patrick Joseph Gerardus Hendrikus Kamphuis,Philip Scheltens,Fernando Maestú,Elisabeth C.W. van Straaten +7 more
TL;DR: The current results suggest that Souvenaid preserves the organisation of brain networks in patients with mild AD within 24 weeks, hypothetically counteracting the progressive network disruption over time in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Just a thought: How mind-wandering is represented in dynamic brain connectivity
TL;DR: A framework for describing spontaneous thoughts in terms of brain-network activity patterns that are comprised of connections weighted by time-varying relevance to conscious and unconscious processing is described, suggesting preferential roles of certain anatomical communication avenues in mind-wandering.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.
Book
The Fractal Geometry of Nature
TL;DR: This book is a blend of erudition, popularization, and exposition, and the illustrations include many superb examples of computer graphics that are works of art in their own right.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The relation of strength of stimulus to rapidity of habit-formation
Robert M. Yerkes,John D. Dodson +1 more
TL;DR: In connection with a study of various aspects of the modifiability of behavior in the dancing mouse a need for definite knowledge concerning the relation of strength of stimulus to rate of learning arose, the experiments which are now to be described arose.

EEG alpha and theta oscillations reflect cognitive and memory performance: a review and analysis
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested to adjust the frequency windows of alpha and theta for each subject by using individual alpha frequency as an anchor point, based on this procedure, a consistent interpretation of a variety of findings is made possible.
