At the Allen Institute, we do science differently. We take on some of the biggest questions in biology at a scale designed to generate knowledge the world can use. We advance discovery through large-scale research initiatives called accelerators, bringi...

A modularized open-source pipeline for invasive brain signal decoding bridges the gap between closed-loop neuromodulation and clinical brain–computer interface approaches in a large patient cohort.

Background The central pathology causing idiopathic focal dystonia remains unclear. The recently identified somato-cognitive action network (SCAN) has been implicated. Objective We tested whether ...

Understanding how the brain works has been a formidable challenge in neuroscience, but advances at the computational level are now driving us closer. This perspective discusses core concepts of neural...

Tang et al. show that OFC plays a more important role in learning from symbolic reinforcers than subcortical structures. OFC computes reinforcement signals and sends the information to the VS through ...

In this latest addition to the Profiles of Women in Neuroscience series by EJN, Dr. Laurel Trainor discusses her unique academic journey and current research. She describes how she blends being a mus...

A new encoding method, CEBRA, jointly uses behavioural and neural data in a (supervised) hypothesis- or (self-supervised) discovery-driven manner to produce both consistent and high-performance latent...

Studies linking the brain’s dopamine signals with learning and decision making have enjoyed enormous progress using predominantly value-based decision…

Understanding brain function necessitates linking neural activity with corresponding behavior. Struc
