Abstract
The dynamic architecture of the human brain has been consistently observed. However, there is still limited modeling work to elucidate how neuronal circuits are hierarchically and flexibly organized in functional systems. Here we proposed a reachable probability approach based on non-homogeneous Markov chains, to characterize all possible connectivity flows and the hierarchical structure of brain functional systems at the dynamic level. We proved at the theoretical level the convergence of the functional brain network system, and demonstrated that this approach is able to detect network steady states across connectivity structure, particularly in areas of the default mode network. We further explored the dynamically hierarchical functional organization centered at the primary sensory cortices. We observed smaller optimal reachable steps to their local functional regions, and differentiated patterns in larger optimal reachable steps for primary perceptual modalities. The reachable paths with the largest and second largest transition probabilities between primary sensory seeds via multisensory integration regions were also tracked to explore the flexibility and plasticity of the multisensory integration. The present work provides a novel approach to depict both the stable and flexible hierarchical connectivity organization of the human brain.

Abstract
Experimental and modeling work of neural activity has described recurrent and attractor dynamic patterns in cerebral microcircuits. However, it is still poorly understood whether similar dynamic principles exist or can be generalizable to the large-scale level. Here, we applied dynamic graph theory-based analyses to evaluate the dynamic streams of whole-brain functional connectivity over time across cognitive states. Dynamic connectivity in local networks is located in attentional areas during tasks and primary sensory areas during rest states, and dynamic connectivity in distributed networks converges in the default mode network (DMN) in both task and rest states. Importantly, we find that distinctive dynamic connectivity patterns are spatially associated with Allen Human Brain Atlas genetic transcription levels of synaptic long-term potentiation and long-term depression-related genes. Our findings support the neurobiological basis of large-scale attractor-like dynamics in the heteromodal cortex within the DMN, irrespective of cognitive state.

Abstract
Traditional studies on the interaction of cognitive functions in healthy and disordered brains have used the analyses of the connectivity of several specialized brain networks-the functional connectome. However, emerging evidence suggests that both brain networks and functional spontaneous brain-wide network communication are intrinsically dynamic. In the light of studies investigating the cooperation between different cognitive functions, we consider here the dynamics of hierarchical networks in cognitive space. We show, using an example of behavioural decision-making based on sequential episodic memory, how the description of metastable pattern dynamics underlying basic cognitive processes helps to understand and predict complex processes like sequential episodic memory recall and competition among decision strategies. The mathematical images of the discussed phenomena in the phase space of the corresponding cognitive model are hierarchical heteroclinic networks. One of the most important features of such networks is the robustness of their dynamics. Different kinds of instabilities of these dynamics can be related to 'dynamical signatures' of creativity and different psychiatric disorders. The suggested approach can also be useful for the understanding of the dynamical processes that are the basis of consciousness.
