The functional networks of the human brain exhibit the structural characteristics of a scale-free topology, and these neural networks are exposed to the electromagnetic environment. In this paper, we consider the effects of magnetic induction on synchronous activity in biological neural networks, and the magnetic effect is evaluated by the four-stable discrete memristor. Based on Rulkov neurons, a scale-free neural network model is established. Using the initial value and the strength of magnetic induction as control variables, numerical simulations are carried out. The research reveals that the scale-free neural network exhibits multiple coexisting behaviors, including resting state, period-1 bursting synchronization, asynchrony, and chimera states, which are dependent on the different initial values of the multi-stable discrete memristor. In addition, we observe that the strength of magnetic induction can either enhance or weaken the synchronization in the scale-free neural network when the parameters of Rulkov neurons in the network vary. This investigation is of significant importance in understanding the adaptability of organisms to their environment.

A generative model of the connectome with dynamic axon growth.

Connectome generative models, otherwise known as generative network models, provide insight into the wiring principles underpinning brain network organization. While these models can approximate numerous statistical properties of empirical networks, they typically fail to explicitly characterize an important contributor to brain organization-axonal growth. Emulating the chemoaffinity-guided axonal growth, we provide a novel generative model in which axons dynamically steer the direction of propagation based on distance-dependent chemoattractive forces acting on their growth cones.

Traditionally categorized as a uniform sleep phase, rapid eye movement sleep exhibits substantial heterogeneity with its phasic and tonic constituents showing marked differences regarding many characteristics. Here, we investigate how tonic and phasic states differ with respect to aperiodic neural activity, a marker of arousal and sleep. Rapid eye movement sleep heterogeneity was assessed using either binary phasic-tonic (n = 97) or continuous (in 60/97 participants) approach.

Turbulence is a universal principle for fast energy and information transfer. Moving beyond the turbulence of fluid dynamics, turbulence has recently been demonstrated in brain dynamics. Importantly, turbulence can be expressed as the rich variability across spacetime of the local levels of synchronisation of coupled brain signals.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies show that scientists can predict how a rat's brain is working while it sleeps by looking at tiny details of brain activity.
  • This research challenges the old idea that sleep is mainly about big waves in brain activity.
  • Instead, it suggests that smaller, less noticeable actions in the brain are what really control different sleep states.
