Analysis of the Allen Institute Visual Coding Neuropixels dataset revealed a ~5 Hz synchronization of visual cortical activity in awake, immobile mice. During bouts of this rhythm, synchronized cortical bursts coincided with changes in the occurrence of sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) and dentate spikes and in SWR properties. Cortical synchronization, SWRs, and dentate spikes were also coordinated with slower pupil-size fluctuation, revealing that awake SWRs are embedded within nested brainwide rhythms. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Intrinsic timescale reflects the temporal window of neural processing, but how it matures across the human cortex during development remains unclear. This study shows that intrinsic timescale develops...

Sequences of stimuli can be maintained in working memory by encoding each item, together with its position, as a distinct pattern of neural population activity. Competing hypotheses about the underlyi...

Every day, people continuously infer situational context and adjust the way they understand and remember the world. Context, signaled by the prefrontal cortex, is known to modulate working memory and ...

General anesthetics seem to work in all living species. This raises the question of whether there are common changes in neural activity that occur during transitions between wakefulness and anesthesia...
