Why a better-performing developing brain may be a better-tuned brain

An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between subcritical dynamics, associated with excessive inhibition, and super-critical dynamics, associated with excessive excitability. In preclinical and computational studies, activity near this regime has been linked to efficient information processing and adaptive responsiveness to input.
