Backpropagation and the brain

TP Lillicrap, A Santoro, L Marris, CJ Akerman… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
During learning, the brain modifies synapses to improve behaviour. In the cortex, synapses
are embedded within multilayered networks, making it difficult to determine the effect of an …

Neural tuning and representational geometry

N Kriegeskorte, XX Wei - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2021 - nature.com
A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

Waking state: rapid variations modulate neural and behavioral responses

MJ McGinley, M Vinck, J Reimer, R Batista-Brito… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Neuromodulation of attention

A Thiele, MA Bellgrove - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Attention is critical to high-level cognition and attention deficits are a hallmark of neurologic
and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although years of research indicates that distinct …

Changing concepts of working memory

WJ Ma, M Husain, PM Bays - Nature neuroscience, 2014 - nature.com
Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

Top-down influences on visual processing

CD Gilbert, W Li - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2013 - nature.com
Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

[HTML][HTML] Visual attention: The past 25 years

M Carrasco - Vision research, 2011 - Elsevier
This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

The influence of cortical activity on perception depends on behavioral state and sensory context

LE Russell, M Fişek, Z Yang, LP Tan… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
The mechanistic link between neural circuit activity and behavior remains unclear. While
manipulating cortical activity can bias certain behaviors and elicit artificial percepts, some …

Neurophysiological and computational principles of cortical rhythms in cognition

XJ Wang - Physiological reviews, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …
