A really nice work, worth reading from top to bottom 👍
Cell assemblies are drawing increasing attention in neuroscience, but one could argue that they are just an epiphenomenon. Is the activity of cell assemblies relevant for the brain?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is in our paper, now online at PLOS Biology. 🧵👇 1/10

Adaptive communication between cell assemblies and “reader” neurons shapes flexible brain dynamics
Cell assemblies have been proposed as key units of brain activity, underlying diverse functions, but their basic features are not well understood. This study shows that interactions between cell assem...

Intra-and Interhemispheric Signatures of Criticality at the Onset of Synchronization
The cerebral cortex must flexibly alternate between locally segregated activity that supports specialization and long-range interactions that enable integration. How cortical networks balance these co...

New preprint out!
How does criticality propagate from local neuronal circuits to whole-brain dynamics?
We tackle this with a multiscale, connectome-based mouse model @ldallap.bsky.social . 🧵/n

🧠⚡️Brain stimulation is powerful, yet its effects are notoriously variable: identical parameters can produce very different outcomes. In our new preprint, we show how the brain’s state before stimulation helps explain and reduce this variability. 🧵1/n

Pre-stimulus Brain States Predict and Control Variability in Stimulation Responses
Does the ongoing brain state determine how it responds to localized electrical stimulation? This fundamental question has major implications for neuroscience and medicine, as stimulation outcomes rema...
