Cognitive control, the ability to orchestrate behavior in accord with our goals, depends on
the prefrontal cortex. These cognitive functions are heavily influenced by the …

Cortical networks are composed of glutamatergic excitatory projection neurons and local
GABAergic inhibitory interneurons that gate signal flow and sculpt network dynamics …

Brains contain networks of interconnected neurons and so knowing the network architecture
is essential for understanding brain function. We therefore mapped the synaptic-resolution …

As a key building block of biological cortex, neurons are powerful information processing
units and can achieve highly complex nonlinear computations even in individual cells …

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 …

Sensory memory, formed at the beginning while perceiving and interacting with the
environment, is considered a primary source of intelligence. Transferring such biological …

Cortical gain regulation allows neurons to respond adaptively to changing inputs. Neural
gain is modulated by internal and external influences, including attentional and arousal …

The biological visual system encodes optical information into spikes and processes them by
the neural network, which enables the perception with high throughput of visual processing …

Understanding brain circuits begins with an appreciation of their component parts—the cells.
Although GABAergic interneurons are a minority population within the brain, they are crucial …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …
