fMRI connectivity is dominated by recurring high-amplitude BOLD events (CAPs, QPPs)
But what originates these events? Many think neuromodulation is the culprit. Our new work offers a simpler take: cortico-cortical dynamics alone can generate CAP-like events! doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013995

@macshine.bsky.social talks with @melcooperphd.bsky.social about her new work showing that astrocytes—long dismissed as the brain’s housekeepers—are wired together in precise, long-range networks that remodel in response to experience.
