Neurons that respond emergently to illusory contours drive pattern completion in V1. Pattern completion in lower cortical areas may therefore mediate perceptual inference by selectively reinforcing ac...

Until recently, it has been possible to examine activity in the brain globally through regional averaging or locally at cellular resolution. These studies characterized regions as functionally homogen...

Daily neuroscience-related posts on the social-media platform this week have increased more than 400 percent, on average, compared with October.

Abstract. Group-level analyses have typically linked behavioral signatures to a constrained set of brain areas. Here, we show that two behavioral metrics—reaction time (RT) and confidence—can be decod...

A message to those asking “what do I do now?”

Artificial intelligence and human expertise meet to generate a map of all the connections in the fly brain. The resource is already being used by experimentalists and theoreticians to further our unde...

But neurons don’t take averages. This ubiquitous practice hides from us how the brain really works.
