Historically, the thalamus has been viewed as little more than a relay, simply transferring
information to key players of the cast, the cortex and hippocampus, without providing any …

Migraine is a common, multifactorial, disabling, recurrent, hereditary neurovascular
headache disorder. It usually strikes sufferers a few times per year in childhood and then …

Neuroscience has focused on the detailed implementation of computation, studying neural
codes, dynamics and circuits. In machine learning, however, artificial neural networks tend …

Comprehensive knowledge of the brain's wiring diagram is fundamental for understanding
how the nervous system processes information at both local and global scales. However …

Emotional arousal enhances perception and memory of high-priority information but impairs
processing of other information. Here, we propose that, under arousal, local glutamate levels …

Human neocortical 15–29-Hz beta oscillations are strong predictors of perceptual and motor
performance. However, the mechanistic origin of beta in vivo is unknown, hindering …

Switches between different behavioral states of the animal are associated with prominent
changes in global brain activity, between sleep and wakefulness or from inattentive to …

Complex phenomena in photonics, in particular, dynamical properties of semiconductor
lasers due to delayed coupling, are reviewed. Although considered a nuisance for a long …

The vestibular system provides the brain with sensory signals about three-dimensional head
rotations and translations. These signals are important for postural and oculomotor control …

All cortical and thalamic levels of sensory processing are subject to powerful top-down
influences, the shaping of lower-level processes by more complex information. New findings …
