Brain circuitry behavioral control emerging from complexity of nested recurrent loops extending into the body

2026-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Behaviors and thoughts are driven by a multitude of nested neuronal circuitry loops. They cause complex brain activity dynamics that remain poorly understood. We show that closed-loop neuronal network operation results in an activity state space that can be best understood as a vector field with an attractor point, which controls the activity dynamics across the neuronal population. We show that brain activity in...
