Highlights•Brain rhythms are often brief and intermittent in time lasting a few cycles or
less.•High power in the average can reflect the accumulated density of transient events on …

Persistent neuronal spiking has long been considered the mechanism underlying working
memory, but recent proposals argue for alternative 'activity-silent'substrates. Using monkey …

Theta-gamma phase coupling and spike timing within theta oscillations are prominent
features of the hippocampus and are often related to navigation and memory. However, the …

An animal's awareness of its location in space depends on the activity of place cells in the
hippocampus. How the brain encodes the spatial position of others has not yet been …

The spiking activity of cortical neurons is correlated. For instance, trial-to-trial fluctuations in
response strength are shared between neurons, and spikes often occur synchronously …

Neocortical activity is permeated with endogenously generated fluctuations, but how these
dynamics affect goal-directed behavior remains a mystery. We found that ensemble neural …

The mechanisms that confer cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are not fully
understood. Here, we describe a neural circuit mechanism underlying this resilience in a …

The striatum is required for the acquisition of procedural memories, but its contribution to
motor control once learning has occurred is unclear. We created a task in which rats learned …

Although the hippocampus is critical to episodic memory, neuronal representations
supporting this role, especially relating to nonspatial information, remain elusive. Here, we …

In The Mind within the Brain, David Redish brings together cutting edge research in
psychology, robotics, economics, neuroscience, and the new fields of neuroeconomics and …
