Selective processing of behaviorally relevant sounds in complex environments requires dynamic modulation of auditory representations. Here, we show that behaviorally relevant sound locations selective...

Brain oscillations are traditionally regarded as sustained rhythms. Here, the authors show that there are both high and low-rhythmicity bands, characterised by brief bursts, which can signal responses...

Brown, a renowned neuroscientist, anesthesiologist and statistician, has made numerous seminal contributions to basic science and clinical care alike. He joins two other professors in earning the hono...

Rotating neuronal waves are built into brain anatomy and help coordinate far-flung regions, mouse imaging study suggests

The arrangement of locus coeruleus neurons in mice points to how the structure mediates specific effects across the brain, a new study shows.

Context-dependent behavior selects actions according to task demands. Using direct brain recordings in humans, Binish et al. uncover how coordinated population activity efficiently channels informatio...

De la Prida's work analyzing the varieties of sharp wave ripples in the hippocampus led to her discovery that specific types of neurons control the properties of neural manifolds.

A brain–machine interface is used in monkeys to investigate the biophysical underpinnings of cortical high gamma-band activity, a signal that is often studied in the context of many brain functions.

Neural population activity can be described either by low-dimensional dynamics on neural manifolds or by single-neuron selectivities. Using a theoretical approach, Pezon et al. relate these two statis...

Thus far, engineering has outpaced theory in the science of intelligence. But Poggio is hopeful that theories can catch up.

Nature - The brain can flexibly perform multiple tasks by compositionally combining task-relevant neural representations.

The aperiodic component of brain field potentials (EEG, LFP, intracortical recordings) is increasingly being recognized as an important topic in both basic and clinical neuroscience. Aperiodic activit...

In the last century, most sensorimotor studies of cortical neurons relied on average firing rates. Rate coding is efficient for fast sensorimotor processing that occurs within a few seconds. Much less...

The waxing and waning cortical oscillatory power correlates with function and disease. This cross-trial variability has been thought to be due to neuromodulation, uncertainty encoding, and/or changes ...

Using intracranial electroencephalography from patients with epilepsy during spatial attention tasks, this study shows that high-frequency bursts facilitate fast communications in brain networks and s...

The brain can flexibly perform multiple tasks by compositionally combining task-relevant neural representations.

The dynamics of neuronal systems are characterized by hallmark features such as oscillations and synchrony. However, it has remained unclear whethe...

MDPI, a rapidly growing mega-publisher, has significantly impacted scientific publishing with a large number of open-access journals covering all areas of knowledge. Fast publication times, numerous s...

Academic who showed little tolerance for IQ testing, but made steps towards a treatment for Alzheimer’s, dies aged 87

Tracking of individual place cells in mouse CA1 shows that representational drift is not influenced by changes in environment or behaviour, and is lower for more excitable place cells.

This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition. It consists of three parts:

Modelling biological decision-making with tiny recurrent neural networks enables more accurate predictions of animal choices than classical cognitive models and offers insights into the underlying cog...

A group of neuroscientists and philosophers discuss the use and misuse of the term “representation” across the cognitive sciences.

Computation in recurrent networks of neurons has been hypothesized to occur at the level of low-dimensional latent dynamics, both in artificial systems and in the brain. This hypothesis seems at odds ...

This study investigates how homeostatic mechanisms endow sensory representations in the auditory cortex with resilience against neuron loss. The map of sounds has the ability to recover after microabl...

We want to hear from you.

Theories of predictive processing propose that sensory systems constantly predict incoming signals, based on spatial and temporal context. However, evidence for prediction in sensory cortex largely co...

Neuroscientists have long ignored the variability in animals’ behavioral responses in favor of studying differences across groups. But work on the brain differences that underlie that variability is…

Acceptable image-editing practices are partly a matter of common sense. But researchers say journals and funders could help scientists by standardizing policies.

Fang et al. found that frontal cortical theta-range spike-field coherence is rank-selectively associated with unit spiking-based memory subspaces, supporting the binding of incoming sequential working...

Using volumetric electron microscopy, the authors map and analyze the structure of cortical inhibition with synaptic resolution across a column of visual cortex.

Social isolation hampers immune system function, and the biological mechanisms driving this effect remain understudied. We hypothesized that oxytocin …

When you cut away the misconceptions, neural manifolds present a conceptually appropriate level at which systems neuroscientists can study the brain.

To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, employing large models trained on vast amounts of data. Experts weigh in.

The first part of the paper is devoted to a comparison between the functional architectures of the cerebral cortex and artificial intelligent systems. While the two systems share numerous features, na...

Gamma-frequency oscillations are a hallmark of active information processing and are generated by interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neuro…

Uncertainty about how much money colleges and universities stand to lose has led some schools to reduce the number of doctoral students, in some cases reneging on offers.
