摘　　要：In recent years,exploring the physical mechanisms of brain functions has been a hot topic in the fields of nonlinear dynamics and complex networks,and many important achievements have been made,mainly based on the characteristic features of time series of human brain.To speed up the further study of this problem,herein we make a brief review on these important achievements,which includes the aspects of explaining:(i)the mechanism of brain rhythms by network synchronization,(ii)the mechanism of unihemispheric sleep by chimera states,(iii)the fundamental difference between the structural and functional brain networks by remote synchronization,(iv)the mechanism of stronger detection ability of human brain to weak signals by remote firing propagation,and(v)the mechanism of dementia patterns by eigen-microstate analysis.As a brief review,we will mainly focus on the aspects of basic ideas,research histories,and key results but ignore the tedious mathematical derivations.Moreover,some outlooks will be discussed for future studies.
