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 …

Entropy is a powerful tool for quantification of the brain function and its information
processing capacity. This is evident in its broad domain of applications that range from …

We propose and empirically support a parsimonious account of intrinsic, brain-wide
spatiotemporal organization arising from traveling waves linked to arousal. We hypothesize …

Significant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes learning by encoding reward
prediction errors. However, it is unknown whether striatal targets receive tailored dopamine …

The large-scale activity of the human brain exhibits rich and complex patterns, but the
spatiotemporal dynamics of these patterns and their functional roles in cognition remain …

Human cognition requires the coordination of neural activity across widespread brain
networks. Here, we describe a new mechanism for large-scale coordination in the human …

During periods of disengagement from the environment, transient population bursts, known
as sharp wave ripples (SPW-Rs), occur sporadically. While numerous experiments have …

Abstract Models of cognitive function typically focus on the cerebral cortex and hence
overlook functional links to subcortical structures. This view does not consider the role of the …

We propose and present converging evidence for the Cytoelectric Coupling Hypothesis:
Electric fields generated by neurons are causal down to the level of the cytoskeleton. This …

Traveling patterns of neuronal activity—brain waves—have been observed across a breadth
of neuronal recordings, states of awareness, and species, but their emergence in the human …
