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)."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2023-10-31T00:00:00Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","ddc":["570"],"year":"2023","intvolume":"        42","article_number":"113162","department":[{"_id":"GaTk"}],"month":"10","article_type":"original","project":[{"name":"Functional Advantages of Critical Brain Dynamics","grant_number":"M03318","_id":"eb943429-77a9-11ec-83b8-9f471cdf5c67"},{"name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Lombardi, Fabrizio","last_name":"Lombardi","orcid":"0000-0003-2623-5249","id":"A057D288-3E88-11E9-986D-0CF4E5697425","first_name":"Fabrizio"},{"first_name":"Hans J.","last_name":"Herrmann","full_name":"Herrmann, Hans J."},{"last_name":"Parrino","full_name":"Parrino, Liborio","first_name":"Liborio"},{"first_name":"Dietmar","full_name":"Plenz, Dietmar","last_name":"Plenz"},{"first_name":"Silvia","last_name":"Scarpetta","full_name":"Scarpetta, Silvia"},{"full_name":"Vaudano, Anna Elisabetta","last_name":"Vaudano","first_name":"Anna Elisabetta"},{"first_name":"Lucilla","last_name":"De Arcangelis","full_name":"De Arcangelis, Lucilla"},{"first_name":"Oren","full_name":"Shriki, Oren","last_name":"Shriki"}],"volume":42,"oa":1,"doi":"10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113162","acknowledgement":"This research was funded in whole or in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (grant PT1013M03318 to F.L.).

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.</jats:p><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance statement</jats:title><jats:p>We 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.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"20","citation":{"apa":"Scarpetta, S., Morrisi, N., Mutti, C., Azzi, N., Trippi, I., Ciliento, R., … Vaudano, A.

Although existing models account for oscillations and avalanches separately, they typically do not explain both phenomena, are too complex to analyze analytically or intractable to infer from data rigorously. Here we propose a feedback-driven Ising-like class of neural networks that captures avalanches and oscillations simultaneously and quantitatively. In the simplest yet fully microscopic model version, we can analytically compute the phase diagram and make direct contact with human brain resting-state activity recordings via tractable inference of the model’s two essential parameters. The inferred model quantitatively captures the dynamics over a broad range of scales, from single sensor oscillations to collective behaviors of extreme events and neuronal avalanches. Importantly, the inferred parameters indicate that the co-existence of scale-specific (oscillations) and scale-free (avalanches) dynamics occurs close to a non-equilibrium critical point at the onset of self-sustained oscillations."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2108.06686"],"isi":["000968161800002"],"pmid":["38177880"]},"scopus_import":"1","ec_funded":1,"page":"254-263","status":"public","isi":1,"date_updated":"2025-09-09T12:23:42Z","publication":"Nature Computational Science","file_date_updated":"2023-08-16T12:39:57Z"}]
