Adult cortical areas consist of specialized cell types and circuits that support unique higher-
order cognitive functions. How this regional diversity develops from an initially uniform …

Get in-depth understanding of each part of visual pathway yields insights to conquer the
challenges that classic computer vision is facing. Here, we first report the bioinspired striate …

Sensory processing is affected in multiple neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and
autism spectrum disorders. Genetic and environmental factors guide the formation and fine …

The program of “neurophenomenal structuralism” is presented as an agenda for a genuine
structuralist neuroscience of consciousness that seeks to understand specific phenomenal …

Brain plasticity is maximal at specific time windows during early development known as
critical periods (CPs), during which sensory experience is necessary to establish optimal …

Although the spontaneous origins of concepts from interaction is often given for granted,
how the process can start without a fully developed sensorimotor representation system has …

A rich literature has documented changes in cortical representations of the body in
somatosensory and motor cortex. Recent clinical studies of brain–machine interfaces …

Cognitive neuroscience depends on the use of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD)
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to probe brain function. Although commonly …

For medical and fundamental reasons, we need to understand adult brain plasticity at
several levels: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Historically, brain plasticity has …

Functional gradients, in which response properties change gradually across the cortical
surface, have been proposed as a key organising principle of the brain. However, the …
