An essential step toward understanding neural circuits is linking their structure and their dynamics. In general, this relationship can be almost arbitrarily complex. Recent theoretical work has, however, begun to identify some broad…
Oscillatory synchrony is hypothesized to support the flow of information between brain regions, with different phase-locked configurations enabling activation of different effective interactions. Along these lines, past work has proposed…

Neural synchronization is believed to be critical for many brain functions. It frequently exhibits temporal variability, but it is not known if this variability has a specific temporal patterning. This study explores these…
