Similarities in neocortical circuit organization across areas and species suggest a common
strategy to process diverse types of information, including sensation from diverse modalities …

Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

To understand the brain we must relate neurons' functional responses to the circuit
architecture that shapes them. Here, we present a large functional connectomics dataset …

A catalogue of neuronal cell types has often been called a 'parts list'of the brain, and
regarded as a prerequisite for understanding brain function,. In the optic lobe of Drosophila …

The strength of synaptic connections fundamentally determines how neurons influence each
other's firing. Excitatory connection amplitudes between pairs of cortical neurons vary over …

The superior colliculus is a midbrain structure that plays important roles in visually guided
behaviors in mammals. Neurons in the superior colliculus receive inputs from retinal …

When animals interact with complex environments, their neural circuits must separate
overlapping patterns of activity that represent sensory and motor information. Pattern …

Brain function involves the activity of neuronal populations. Much recent effort has been
devoted to measuring the activity of neuronal populations in different parts of the brain under …

Cortical neurons exhibit tremendous variability in the number and temporal distribution of
spikes in their discharge patterns. Furthermore, this variability appears to be conserved over …

How different is local cortical circuitry from a random network? To answer this question, we
probed synaptic connections with several hundred simultaneous quadruple whole-cell …
