Many physiologic effects of l-glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the
mammalian central nervous system, are mediated via signaling by ionotropic glutamate …

Biologically inspired spiking neural networks are increasingly popular in the field of artificial
intelligence due to their ability to solve complex problems while being power efficient. They …

The term 'stress'–coined in 1936–has many definitions, but until now has lacked a
theoretical foundation. Here we present an information-theoretic approach–based on the …

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in inhibitory interneurons and their circuits. A
striking property of cortical inhibition is how tightly it balances excitation. Inhibitory currents …

Schizophrenia, autism and intellectual disabilities are best understood as spectrums of
diseases that have broad sets of causes. However, it is becoming evident that these …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …

Many theories of brain function propose that activity in sparse subsets of neurons underlies
perception and action. To place a lower bound on the amount of neural activity that can be …

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 …
