Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

Circuits of excitatory and inhibitory neurons generate gamma-rhythmic activity (30–80 Hz).
Gamma-cycles show spontaneous variability in amplitude and duration. To investigate the …

Visual stimuli evoke fast-evolving activity patterns that are distributed across multiple cortical
areas. These areas are hierarchically structured, as indicated by their anatomical …

The lateral hypothalamic area (LH) is a vital controller of arousal, feeding, and metabolism
[1, 2], which integrates external and internal sensory information. Whereas sensory and …

Gamma oscillations are widely seen in the awake and sleeping cerebral cortex, but the
exact role of these oscillations is still debated. Here, we used biophysical models to examine …

The construct of general intelligence (g) is one of psychology's most replicated and
predictively useful constructs. Although research indicates that g is a highly heritable trait …

This paper studies a flexible approach to analyze high-dimensional nonlinear time series of
unconstrained dimension based on linear statistics calculated from spectral average …

Background Closing the loop between brain activity and behavior is one of the most active
areas of development in neuroscience. There is particular interest in developing closed-loop …

Structural connectivity provides the backbone for communication between neural
populations. Since axonal transmission occurs on a millisecond time scale, measures of …

Behavioral states affect neuronal responses throughout the cortex and influence visual
processing. Quiet wakefulness (QW) is a behavioral state during which subjects are …
