Cortical state, defined by population-level neuronal activity patterns, determines sensory
perception. While arousal-associated neuromodulators—including norepinephrine (NE) …

Understanding spoken language requires transforming ambiguous acoustic streams into a
hierarchy of representations, from phonemes to meaning. It has been suggested that the …

Predictive processing postulates the existence of prediction error neurons in cortex. Neurons
with both negative and positive prediction error response properties have been identified in …

Episodic memory involves learning and recalling associations between items and their
spatiotemporal context. Those memories can be further used to generate internal models of …

The brain functions as a prediction machine, utilizing an internal model of the world to
anticipate sensations and the outcomes of our actions. Discrepancies between expected …

Prediction errors are differences between expected and actual sensory input and are
thought to be key computational signals that drive learning related plasticity. One way that …

Many insects use patterns of polarized light in the sky to orient and navigate. Here, we
functionally characterize neural circuitry in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, that …

An essential feature of neurons is their ability to centrally integrate information from their
dendrites. The activity of astrocytes, in contrast, has been described as mostly …

Behavior relies on activity in structured neural circuits that are distributed across the brain,
but most experiments probe neurons in a single area at a time. Using multiple Neuropixels …

The brain generates complex sequences of movements that can be flexibly configured
based on behavioural context or real-time sensory feedback, but how this occurs is not fully …
