A cortical gradient of distance to criticality governs large-scale resting-state fMRI dynamics

2026-05-22

Abstract excerpt

The cortex generates a remarkable diversity of regional dynamics despite relying on broadly shared principles of recurrent organization. Here, we identify distance to criticality (DTC) as a unifying axis along which these dynamics are spatially organized. Analyzing resting-state fMRI BOLD signals and leveraging simple network models of randomly connected recurrent units, we show that DTC robustly explains key dyna...
