Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely
between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. Recent results in humans and …

Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual
events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of …

The cortex is a massively recurrent network, characterized by feedforward and feedback
connections between brain areas as well as lateral connections within an area …

Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

Cortical circuits are thought to contain a large number of cell types that coordinate to
produce behavior. Current in vivo methods rely on clustering of specified features of …

Sensory detection tasks enhance representations of behaviorally meaningful stimuli in
primary auditory cortex (A1). However, it remains unclear how A1 encodes decision-making …

Selective attention is central to cognition. Dramatic advances have been made in
understanding the neural circuits that mediate selective attention. Forebrain networks, most …

Dorsal premotor cortex is implicated in somatomotor decisions. However, we do not
understand the temporal patterns and laminar organization of decision-related firing rates in …

The neocortex is central to mammalian cognitive ability, playing critical roles in sensory
perception, motor skills and executive function. This thin, layered structure comprises …

The human primary visual cortex (V1) is not only activated by incoming visual information
but is also engaged by top-down cognitive processes, such as visual working memory, even …
