Coherent cognition emerges from specialized brain regions coordinating through dynamic links. This review highlights neural synchrony across frequencies as the key mechanism for large-scale brain integration.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cognition relies on integrating information across distributed, specialized brain regions.
  • The mechanisms enabling this large-scale integration remain largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review mechanisms of large-scale brain integration.
  • To propose dynamic links mediated by neural synchrony as a plausible mechanism.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on brain integration and neural synchrony.
  • Theoretical argument for synchrony-mediated dynamic links.

Main Results:

  • Large-scale integration balances distributed brain organization for coherent function.

  • Dynamic links, particularly neural synchrony across multiple frequency bands, are proposed as the primary mechanism.

    • Conclusions:

    • Neural synchrony is the most plausible candidate for mediating large-scale brain integration.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for explaining coherent behavior and cognition.
