Comrie et al. show that the hippocampus flexibly represents different alternative possibilities—including paths ahead, behind, and far away—to meet distinct cognitive demands related to decision-makin...

The study of cross-species differences in the organization of the cerebral cortex received significant attention during the past century. However, the evolutionary principles governing changes in bra...

Weber's law is a rare quantitative regularity in psychology, yet its origins remain debated. Here we provide causal evidence that it arises from the more fundamental principle of efficient coding. Thi...

Here the authors model interactions between episodic and semantic memory as ‘retrieval-augmented generation’, explaining consolidation of structure from sequential experience, the reconstruction and d...

To make flexible decisions, the brain needs to make inferences between events that were not directly experienced together. In sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events, during periods of rest and sleep, spiking ...

Li et al. show that recurrent neural networks optimized for free recall discover diverse, human-like memory strategies beyond classical temporal context models, with top models using an index-based me...

Susumu Tonegawa, a renowned MIT professor of biology and neuroscience and a Nobel laureate, has died at the age of 86. His discovery of how the immune system generates many different antibodies earned...

Cortical circuits prioritize diversity over categorical structure, supporting a computational regime geared towards high-dimensional, highly separable neural representations.

The Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour & Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, University College London, are looking to sponsor early career researchers in theoretical or c...

Midbrain dopamine neurons are thought to implement a temporal difference (TD) reward prediction error (RPE) that updates cached values stored in striatum. This has been challenged by evidence that dop...

Editorial: The US is unlikely to pressure Benjamin Netanyahu to comply with truce terms. Europe must take action

AiN summer school equips you with the essential tools and knowledge to explore the brain through the lens of computers and algorithms. Whether you're a neuroscience enthusiast or a programming wizard, this program empowers you to understand the mind's complex workings through the power of code.

We, the undersigned academics and researchers from around the world, express our profound concern over recent military strikes on Iran, the retaliatory responses, and the reported impact on civilian l...

Defence Minister Israel Katz also says houses in Lebanese villages near the Israeli border will be demolished.

Value-based decision-making can be conceptualized as navigation within a cognitive map of choice values. During choice, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) compositionally builds cognitive maps...
