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 …

Sensors enable the detection of physiological indicators and pathological markers to assist
in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring of diseases, in addition to playing an …

We present a first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of
juvenile rat. The reconstruction uses cellular and synaptic organizing principles to …

This Perspective considers the influential notion of a canonical (cortical) microcircuit in light
of recent theories about neuronal processing. Specifically, we conciliate quantitative studies …

A basic feature of intelligent systems such as the cerebral cortex is the ability to freely
associate aspects of perceived experience with an internal representation of the world and …

There has been a long controversy as to whether subjectively'free'decisions are determined
by brain activity ahead of time. We found that the outcome of a decision can be encoded in …

Prediction errors (PE) are a central notion in theoretical models of reinforcement learning,
perceptual inference, decision-making and cognition, and prediction error signals have …

Part of human cortex is specialized for cultural domains such as reading and arithmetic,
whose invention is too recent to have influenced the evolution of our species …

Recent advances in human neuroimaging have shown that it is possible to accurately
decode a person's conscious experience based only on non-invasive measurements of their …

Over the past decade, scientific interest in the properties of large-scale spontaneous neural
dynamics has intensified. Concurrently, novel technologies have been developed for …
