Description
Royer and co-authors ask what shapes the rhythms of activity across the human cortex. The brain is both a physical object and a dense network, and its rhythms span many time scales. Local traits and long-range links both play a part, but their shares were unclear. The team used recordings from electrodes placed inside the skull. They built a coordinate map of cortical dynamics from those signals.
Brain imaging showed distance between regions explains much of the pattern. In higher-order association areas, likeness in tissue makeup and wiring added more. The work sorts where simple geometry rules the rhythm. It also shows where network layout takes a larger role.
