AB  - As nearly all brain functions, perception, motion, and higher-order cognitive functions require coordinated neural information processing within distributed cortical networks. Over the past decades, new theories and techniques emerged that advanced our understanding of how information is transferred between cortical areas. This review surveys critical aspects of interareal information exchange. We begin by examining the brain’s structural connectivity, which provides the basic framework for interareal communication. We then illustrate information exchange between cortical areas using the visual system as an example. Next, well-studied and newly proposed theories that may underlie principles of neural communication are reviewed, highlighting recent work that offers new perspectives on interareal information exchange. We finally discuss open questions in the study of the neural mechanisms underlying interareal information exchange.
