It holds that affect and cognition, or feeling and thinking, are continually interacting with the other activity in the cortical network.

Rat genetic models have given data showing that the expression of absence seizures involves both the thalamic and cortical networks.

Also TMS can be used to determine the contribution of cortical networks to specific cognitive functions by disrupting activity in the focal brain region.

The cortical network of regions that is responsible for carrying out a particular task changes dynamically as the regions' capacity resources are saturated.

Invariant computations in local cortical networks with balanced excitation and inhibition.

The emergence and properties of mutual synchronization in in vitro coupled cortical networks".

Models of network activity dynamics, e.g. in laminar cortical networks or balanced random networks.

For instance similar cortical networks mediate music performance and music imagery in pianists.

A multimodal cortical network for the detection of changes in the sensory environment.

This shift is likely to represent the increased excitability of the cortical neuronal networks and may explain the resultant potential epileptogenicity.
