Network neuroscience has emphasized the connectional properties of neural elements - cells, populations, and regions. This come at expense anatomical functional connections that link these to one another. A new perspective namely emphasizes 'edges' may prove fruitful in addressing outstanding questions network neuroscience. We highlight recently proposed 'edge-centric' method review its current applications, merits, limitations. also seek establish conceptual mathematical links between this previously approaches science neuroimaging literature. conclude by presenting several avenues for future work extend refine existing edge-centric analysis.

Variability drives the organization and behavior of complex systems, including human brain. Understanding variability brain signals is thus necessary to broaden our window into function behavior. Few empirical investigations macroscale signal have yet been undertaken, given difficulty in separating biological sources variance from artefactual noise. Here, we characterize temporal most predominant signal, fMRI BOLD systematically investigate its statistical, topographical neurobiological properties. We contrast acquisition protocols, integrate across histology, microstructure, transcriptomics, neurotransmitter receptor metabolic data, static connectivity, simulated magnetoencephalography data. show that represents a spatially heterogeneous, central property multi-scale multi-modal organization, distinct Our work establishes relevance provides lens on stochasticity spatial scales.

Dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) analysis is a widely used approach for studying brain function and offering insight into how networks evolve over time. Typically, dFNC studies utilized fixed spatial maps evaluate transient changes in coupling among time courses estimated from independent component (ICA). This manuscript presents complementary that relaxes this assumption by spatially reordering the components dynamically at each timepoint to optimize smooth gradient FNC (i.e., ICA values). Several methods are presented summarize dynamic gradients (dFNGs) time, starting with static (sFNGs), then exploring properties as well dynamics of themselves. We apply dataset schizophrenia (SZ) patients healthy controls (HC). Functional dysconnectivity between different regions has been reported schizophrenia, yet neural mechanisms behind it remain elusive. Using resting state fMRI on consisting 151 160 age gender-matched controls, we extracted 53 intrinsic (ICNs) subject using fully automated constrained approach. develop several summaries our analysis, both sense, computed Pearson correlation coefficient full series, sliding window followed based gradient, group differences. Static revealed significantly stronger subcortical (SC), auditory (AUD) visual (VIS) patients, hypoconnectivity sensorimotor (SM) relative controls. sFNG highlighted distinctive clustering patterns HCs along cognitive control (CC)/ default mode (DMN), SC/ AUD/ SM/ cerebellar (CB), VIS gradients. Furthermore, observed significant differences sFNGs groups SC CB domains. dFNG suggested SZ spend more first while favor SM/DMN state. For second however, exhibited higher activity domains, contrasting HCs' DMN engagement. The synchrony conveyed shifts transmodal CC/ patients. In addition, distinct SC, SM domains compared HCs. To recap, results advance understanding modulation examining trajectories. provides complete spatiotemporal summary data, contributing growing body current literature regarding By employing dFNG, highlight new perspective capture large scale fluctuations across maintaining convenience low dimensional measures.

Disentangling how cognitive functions emerge from the interplay of brain dynamics and network architecture is among major challenges that neuroscientists face. Pharmacological pathological perturbations consciousness provide a lens to investigate these complex challenges. Here, we review recent advances about brain's functional organisation have been driven by common denominator: decomposing function into fundamental constituents time, space, information. Whereas unconsciousness increases structure-function coupling across scales, psychedelics may decouple structure. Convergent effects also emerge: anaesthetics, psychedelics, disorders can exhibit similar reconfigurations unimodal-transmodal axis. Decomposition approaches reveal potential translate discoveries species, with computational modelling providing path towards mechanistic integration.

Complexity and entropy play crucial roles in understanding dynamic systems across various disciplines. Many intuitively perceive them as distinct measures assume that they have a concave-down relationship. In everyday life, there is common consensus while never decreases, complexity does decrease after an initial increase during the process of blending coffee milk. However, this primarily conceptual lacks empirical evidence. Here, we provide comprehensive evidence challenges prevailing consensus. We demonstrate is, fact, illusion resulting from choice system characterization (dimension) unit observation (resolution). By employing measure designed for natural patterns, find coffee-milk decreases if appropriately characterized terms dimension resolution. Also, aligns experimentally theoretically with entropy, suggesting it not represent so-called effective complexity. These findings rectify reshape our relationship between entropy. It therefore to exercise caution pay close attention accurately precisely characterize before delving into their underlying mechanisms, despite maturity research fields dealing patterns such geography ecology. The characterization/observation (dimension resolution) fundamentally determines assessment using existing understanding.

Psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, pose significant diagnostic challenges with major implications on mental health. The measures of resting-state fMRI spatiotemporal complexity offer a powerful tool for identifying irregularities in brain activity.
