Dear Colleagues,
Our comprehensive review into the animal and human literature suggests moving beyond synchrony and connectivity and the readiness for more hypothesis-driven research and modeling toward unified principles of cortical processing and the mechanisms for the functional establishment of local and large-scale brain networks. We just published such a review and a possible subsequent framework you might be interested in. Below the reference/link and attached the free OpenAccess pdf-copy:

The alpha-theta-gamma (ATG) switch: Toward unified principles of cortical processing.
