Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …
Animal behavior is shaped by a variety of" internal states"—partially hidden variables that profoundly shape perception, cognition, and action. The neural basis of internal states, such …
Dense reconstruction of synaptic connectivity requires high-resolution electron microscopy images of entire brains and tools to efficiently trace neuronal wires across the volume. To …
Neurophysiology has long progressed through exploratory experiments and chance discoveries. Anecdotes abound of researchers listening to spikes in real time and noticing …
Network neuroscience has relied on a node-centric network model in which cells, populations and regions are linked to one another via anatomical or functional connections …
Animals generate neural representations of their heading direction. Notably, in insects, heading direction is topographically represented by the activity of neurons in the central …
Network neuroscience has emphasized the connectional properties of neural elements– cells, populations, and regions. This has come at the expense of the anatomical and …
Until now, most brain studies have focused on small numbers of neurons that interact in limited circuits, allowing analysis of individual computations or steps of neural processing …
Animal nervous system organization is crucial for all body functions and its disruption can lead to severe cognitive and behavioural impairment. This organization relies on features …
