This paper introduces a scalable method for estimating effective connectivity in fMRI data, showing it matches advanced DCM results and outperforms functional connectivity for connectome fingerprinting.

This study shows that newborns' brains tune near criticality in response to prenatal language exposure, with differential responses to familiar and unfamiliar languages based on rhythm similarity.

The paper demonstrates that the somatosensory barrel cortex controls spindle oscillations through frequency locking in anesthetized rats.

This study shows that newborns' brain activity shows increased long-range temporal correlations after speech stimulation, particularly for the language they heard prenatally.

This paper shows that brain network structure and criticality drive collective oscillations in a stochastic whole-brain model.

The paper investigates whether neuronal avalanches in the somatosensory barrel cortex of anesthetized rats exhibit critical behavior during spontaneous and stimulated activity.
