At the inception of human brain mapping, two principles of functional anatomy underwrote
most conceptions—and analyses—of distributed brain responses: namely, functional�…

Recent characterisations of self-organising systems depend upon the presence of a 'Markov
blanket': a statistical boundary that mediates the interactions between the inside and outside�…

What is the relationship between brain and behavior? The answer to this question
necessitates characterizing the mapping between structure and function. The aim of this�…

Background The human brain presents a puzzling and challenging paradox: Despite a fixed
anatomy, characterized by its connectivity, its functional repertoire is vast, enabling action�…

A central question in modern neuroscience is how anatomical and functional connections
between brain areas are organized to allow optimal information processing. In particular�…

Over recent years, a wealth of neuroanatomical information on the pattern of
interconnections between segregated areas of the cerebral cortex has become available�…

My purpose in this paper is to sketch a research direction based on Francisco Varela's
pioneering work in neurodynamics (see also Rudrauf et al. 2003, in this issue). Very early on�…

Over the past 20 years, neuroimaging has become a predominant technique in systems
neuroscience. One might envisage that over the next 20 years the neuroimaging of�…

Network neuroscience provides a systems approach to the study of the brain and enables
the examination of interactions measured at different temporal and spatial scales. We review�…

The relation between large-scale brain structure and function is an outstanding open
problem in neuroscience. We approach this problem by studying the dynamical regime�…
