text: Although much is known about how single neurons in the hippocampus represent
an animal's position, how circuit interactions contribute to spatial coding is
less well understood. Using a novel statistical estimator and theoretical modeling,
both developed in the framework of maximum entropy models, we reveal highly structured
CA1 cell-cell interactions in male rats during open field exploration. The statistics
of these interactions depend on whether the animal is in a familiar or novel environment.
In both conditions the circuit interactions optimize the encoding of spatial information,
but for regimes that differ in the informativeness of their spatial inputs. This
structure facilitates linear decodability, making the information easy to read
out by downstream circuits. Overall, our findings suggest that the efficient coding
hypothesis is not only applicable to individual neuron properties in the sensory
periphery, but also to neural interactions in the central brain.

text: Sleep plays a key role in preserving brain function, keeping the brain network
in a state that ensures optimal computational capabilities. Empirical evidence
indicates that such a state is consistent with criticality, where scale-free neuronal
avalanches emerge. However, the relationship between sleep, emergent avalanches,
and criticality remains poorly understood. Here we fully characterize the critical
behavior of avalanches during sleep, and study their relationship with the sleep
macro- and micro-architecture, in particular the cyclic alternating pattern (CAP).
We show that avalanche size and duration distributions exhibit robust power laws
with exponents approximately equal to −3/2 e −2, respectively. Importantly, we
find that sizes scale as a power law of the durations, and that all critical exponents
for neuronal avalanches obey robust scaling relations, which are consistent with
the mean-field directed percolation universality class. Our analysis demonstrates
that avalanche dynamics depends on the position within the NREM-REM cycles, with
the avalanche density increasing in the descending phases and decreasing in the
ascending phases of sleep cycles. Moreover, we show that, within NREM sleep, avalanche
occurrence correlates with CAP activation phases, particularly A1, which are the
expression of slow wave sleep propensity and have been proposed to be beneficial
for cognitive processes. The results suggest that neuronal avalanches, and thus
tuning to criticality, actively contribute to sleep development and play a role
in preserving network function. Such findings, alongside characterization of the
universality class for avalanches, open new avenues to the investigation of functional
role of criticality during sleep with potential clinical application.Significance
statementWe fully characterize the critical behavior of neuronal
avalanches during sleep, and show that avalanches follow precise scaling laws
that are consistent with the mean-field directed percolation universality class.
The analysis provides first evidence of a functional relationship between avalanche
occurrence, slow-wave sleep dynamics, sleep stage transitions and occurrence of
CAP phase A during NREM sleep. Because CAP is considered one of the major guardians
of NREM sleep that allows the brain to dynamically react to external perturbation
and contributes to the cognitive consolidation processes occurring in sleep, our
observations suggest that neuronal avalanches at criticality are associated with
flexible response to external inputs and to cognitive processes, a key assumption
of the critical brain hypothesis.

text: Alpha oscillations are a distinctive feature of the awake resting state of
the human brain. However, their functional role in resting-state neuronal dynamics
remains poorly understood. Here we show that, during resting wakefulness, alpha
oscillations drive an alternation of attenuation and amplification bouts in neural
activity. Our analysis indicates that inhibition is activated in pulses that last
for a single alpha cycle and gradually suppress neural activity, while excitation
is successively enhanced over a few alpha cycles to amplify neural activity. Furthermore,
we show that long-term alpha amplitude fluctuations—the “waxing and waning” phenomenon—are
an attenuation-amplification mechanism described by a power-law decay of the activity
rate in the “waning” phase. Importantly, we do not observe such dynamics during
non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep with marginal alpha oscillations. The results
suggest that alpha oscillations modulate neural activity not only through pulses
of inhibition (pulsed inhibition hypothesis) but also by timely enhancement of
excitation (or disinhibition).

text: 'Rhythmical cortical activity has long been recognized as a pillar in the
architecture of brain functions. Yet, the dynamic organization of its underlying
neuronal population activity remains elusive. Here we uncover a unique organizational
principle regulating collective neural dynamics associated with the alpha rhythm
in the awake resting-state. We demonstrate that cascades of neural activity obey
attenuation-amplification dynamics (AAD), with a transition from the attenuation
regime—within alpha cycles—to the amplification regime—across a few alpha cycles—that
correlates with the characteristic frequency of the alpha rhythm. We find that
this short-term AAD is part of a large-scale, size-dependent temporal structure
of neural cascades that obeys the Omori law: Following large cascades, smaller
cascades occur at a rate that decays as a power-law of the time elapsed from such
events—a long-term AAD regulating brain activity over the timescale of seconds.
We show that such an organization corresponds to the "waxing and waning" of the
alpha rhythm. Importantly, we observe that short- and long-term AAD are unique
to the awake resting-state, being absent during NREM sleep. These results provide
a quantitative, dynamical description of the so-far-qualitative notion of the
"waxing and waning" phenomenon, and suggest the AAD as a key principle governing
resting-state dynamics across timescales.'
