I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) or brain decoding methods have become standard
practice in analyzing fMRI data. Although decoding methods have been extensively applied …

Although interactions between the thalamus and cortex are critical for cognitive function,,,
the exact contribution of the thalamus to these interactions remains unclear. Recent studies …

A major debate about the neural correlates of conscious perception concerns its cortical
organization, namely, whether it includes the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which mediates …

Parsing a cognitive task into a sequence of operations is a central problem in cognitive
neuroscience. We argue that a major advance is now possible owing to the application of …

Neural populations can change the computation they perform on very short timescales.
Although such flexibility is common, the underlying computational strategies at the …

Activity-dependent myelination is thought to contribute to adaptive neurological function.
However, the mechanisms by which activity regulates myelination and the extent to which …

Visual attention functions as a filter to select environmental information for learning and
memory, making it the first step in the eventual cascade of thought and action systems. Here …

Sensory processing, short-term memory, and decision-making often deal with multiple items,
or options, simultaneously. I review evidence suggesting that the brain handles such …

The ventro-lateral pulvinar is reciprocally connected with the visual areas of the ventral
stream that are important for object recognition. To understand the mechanisms of attentive …
