Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

Cognitive neuroscience seeks generalizable theories explaining the relationship between
behavioral, physiological and mental states. In pursuit of such theories, we propose a …

Implantable devices capable of targeted and reversible blocking of peripheral nerve activity
may provide alternatives to opioids for treating pain. Local cooling represents an attractive …

Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

A key assumption of optogenetics is that light only affects opsin-expressing neurons.
However, illumination invariably heats tissue, and many physiological processes are …

The regulation of body temperature is one of the most critical functions of the nervous
system. Here we review our current understanding of thermoregulation in mammals. We …

Timing is critical to most forms of learning, behavior, and sensory-motor processing.
Converging evidence supports the notion that, precisely because of its importance across a …

During conversation, people take turns speaking by rapidly responding to their partners
while simultaneously avoiding interruption,. Such interactions display a remarkable degree …

Reversible silencing of neuronal activity is a powerful approach for isolating the roles of
specific neuronal populations in circuit dynamics and behavior. In contrast with neuronal …

Perceptual decisions involve distributed cortical activity. Does information flow sequentially
from one cortical area to another, or do networks of interconnected areas contribute at the …
