Beautiful! Congrats all around.

Really interesting to see the species differences here, including: "The continuity from mice to monkeys can be understood if mice are in a more weakly coupled regime than monkeys."

Also found what I was looking for wrt chaos: "An interesting feature of our analysis is that reshuffling and chaos often coexist.15–17,48 However, our results do not provide strong evidence of chaos in cortical circuits. Although we found that weakly chaotic networks often provide better fits, non- chaotic networks can replicate the main features observed in the data." (So the jury is still out wrt the critical/chaotic brain).
