Izaro Fernandez-Iriondo, Antonio Jimenez-Marin, Naiara Aginako, Gorka Zamora-López, Asier Erramuzpe, Paolo Bonifazi, and Jesus M. Cortes. Modular structure-function coupling reveals different network reorganization for task performance. Communications Biology, In press, 2026 [pdf] Understanding how structural and functional brain networks interact to support cognition remains a central challenge in systems neuroscience. Here, we investigated modular structure–function coupling (SFC) across cognitive tasks using multimodal neuroimaging data. We separated SFC into intra-modular coupling […]

Felipe A. Torres, Alejandro Weinstein, Jesus M. Cortes, Wael El-Deredy. Intrinsic resonance depends on network size for coupled-delayed interacting oscillators. Physical Review E. In press, 2026 [pdf] arXiv: [2511.14065v1] The collective frequency that emerges from synchronized neuronal populations—the network resonance— shows a systematic relationship with brain size: a whole-brain large network oscillates slowly, whereas finer parcellations of fixed volume exhibit faster rhythms. This resonance–size scaling has been reported in delayed […]
