This Perspective considers the influential notion of a canonical (cortical) microcircuit in light
of recent theories about neuronal processing. Specifically, we conciliate quantitative studies …

Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

A catalogue of neuronal cell types has often been called a 'parts list'of the brain, and
regarded as a prerequisite for understanding brain function,. In the optic lobe of Drosophila …

The relationship between mesoscopic local field potentials (LFPs) and single-neuron firing
in the multi-layered neocortex is poorly understood. Simultaneous recordings from all layers …

The selectivity of neuronal responses arises from the architecture of excitatory and inhibitory
connections. In the primary visual cortex, the selectivity of a neuron in layer 2/3 for stimulus …

Neuronal connectivity is fundamental to information processing in the brain. Therefore,
understanding the mechanisms of sensory processing requires uncovering how connection …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

How different is local cortical circuitry from a random network? To answer this question, we
probed synaptic connections with several hundred simultaneous quadruple whole-cell …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …
