Neuronal Avalanches in the Neocortex

1.我们首次证明了由神经元雪崩形成的特定和独特的大脑结构在数周和数月内是稳定的。用先进的多电极技术获得的研究结果表明，尽管发育和其他相关的可塑性变化正在进行，但雪崩代表了大脑活动的首要原则。 米勒等人，2021 2.我们发表了一篇关于过去20年来众多研究小组提供的关于大脑自组织临界性的实验证据的综合综述。这篇综述表明，以神经元雪崩形式出现的自组织临界性的最强特征出现在哺乳动物大脑的所谓皮质层浅层。因此，不包括表层的大脑制剂不会显示出明显的临界性信号。这篇综述为未来关于临界性研究中潜在的实验陷阱的研究提供了重要的指导。 Plenz等人，2021 3.我们对大脑和动物群体中的集体现象如何共享共同的理论方面进行了全面的回顾，例如所谓相变的存在。这篇综述首次在众多不同的研究领域之间提供了一座重要的桥梁，这些领域研究集体动力的强大的现有和潜在的优势。 Lins-Ribeiro等人，2021年。

1. We demonstrated for the first time that the specific and unique brain architecture formed by neuronal avalanches is stable over many weeks and months. The findings obtained with advanced multielectrode technology demonstrate avalanches to represent an overarching principle of brain activity despite ongoing developmental and other related plasticity changes. Miller et al., 2021 2. We published a comprehensive review on the experimental evidence provided by numerous groups over the last 20 years on self-organized criticality in the brain. This review demonstrates that the most robust signature of self-organized criticality in the form of neuron avalanches arises in so-called superficial cortical layers of the mammalian brain. Accordingly, brain preparations that do not include superficial layers do not show robust signatures of criticality. This review provides an important guide for future research with respect to potential experimental pitfalls in criticality research. Plenz et al., 2021 3. We provided a comprehensive review on how collective phenomena in the brain and in animal groups share common theoretical aspects such as the presence of so-called phase transition. This review for the first time provides an important bridge between numerous, diverse fields of research studying the robust present and potential advantage of collective dynamics.
