The population doctrine—the view that populations, not individual neurons, constitute the fundamental unit of computation—has been gaining ground for years.

A core function of visual working memory (WM) is to sustain mental representations of recent visual inputs, thereby bridging moments of experience. This is thought to occur in part by recruiting early...

Several MRI artifacts contribute to the neuronal activity signal picked up by the method, according to a preprint the authors posted this month.

Feeding the Fire Peter Bandettini

The reconstruction of whole-brain projectomes of 2,231 single neurons from the macaque prefrontal cortex reveals refined axon targeting and arborization, providing a structural foundation for primate-...

Nature Communications - Model mimicry limits conclusions about neural tuning and can mistakenly imply unlikely priors

Advances in brain imaging technology provide new and different information about the brain.

Casile et al. show that the visual recognition of challenging stimuli relies on the dynamic interplay of feedback and feedforward processes between the frontal cortex and ventral visual stream areas. ...

ALT: a black and white image of the inside of a human brain

Seeber et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. Neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly, demonstrating parallels between navigational, im...
