Decades of basic science have clearly demonstrated the capacity of the central nervous
system (CNS) to structurally and functionally adapt in response to experience. The field of …

The assumption that during cortical embryogenesis neurons and synaptic connections are
selected to form an ensemble maximising synchronous oscillation explains mesoscopic …

The cortical processing of illusory contours provides a unique window for exploring the brain
mechanisms underlying visual perception. Previous electrophysiological single-cell …

In this article, we review functional organization in sensory cortical regions—how the cortex
represents the world. We consider four interrelated aspects of cortical organization:(1) the …

Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) respond when an animal occupies a
periodic lattice of 'grid fields' in the environment. The grids are organized in modules with …

The electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus emits a high‐frequency electric organ discharge
(EOD) sensed by specialized electroreceptors (P‐units) distributed across the fish's skin …

Motion perception is qualitatively invariant across different objects and forms, namely, the
same motion information can be conveyed by many different physical carriers, and it …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a dome-shaped subcortical laminar structure in the
mammalian midbrain, whose superficial layers receive visual information from the retina in a …

V1 neurons are functionally organized in orientation columns in primates. Whether spatial
frequency (SF) columns also exist is less clear because mixed results have been reported. A …

FMRI-studies are mostly based on a group study approach, either analyzing one group or
comparing multiple groups, or on approaches that correlate brain activation with clinically …
