cyto7: an open, vertex-level cortical type atlas of the human cortex

cyto7 is a vertex-level cortical-type atlas of the human cortex that improves upon area-level maps by capturing finer type boundaries and validating its structure with multimodal data.

Cross-Frequency Coupling as a Neural Substrate for Prediction Error Evaluation: A Laminar Neural Mass Modeling Approach

This paper proposes that cross-frequency coupling (CFC) mechanisms in a laminar neural mass model support prediction error evaluation in predictive coding, with implications for disorders like Alzheimer's disease and the effects of serotonergic psychedelics.

Restoring Oscillatory Dynamics in Alzheimer's Disease: A Laminar Whole-Brain Model of Serotonergic Psychedelic Effects

This paper uses a whole-brain model to simulate how serotonergic psychedelics affect brain dynamics in Alzheimer's disease, showing restored oscillatory patterns and correlation with serotonin receptor distribution.

Spectral patterns of MEG oscillatory coupling emerge from meta-stable dynamics with small coupling delays

The paper uses a computational model of delay-coupled oscillators to match MEG functional connectivity patterns, finding that meta-stable dynamics with small delays explain observed oscillatory coupling.

Structured dynamics in the algorithmic agent

The paper explores how symmetry and structure in data influence the dynamics and organization of algorithmic agents, linking concepts from group theory, information theory, and neural networks.

Multi-modal and multi-model interrogation of large-scale functional brain networks

The paper compares two models for simulating brain activity across modalities, showing they can replicate functional connectivity and dynamics but with varying performance across modalities.

Metastable Oscillatory Modes emerge from Synchronization in the Brain Spacetime Connectome

The paper shows that metastable oscillatory modes in the brain emerge from synchronization in the spacetime connectome, matching MEG data from healthy individuals.
