The definition of the visual cortex is primarily based on the evidence that lesions of this area
impair visual perception. However, this does not exclude that the visual cortex may process …

Multisensory object discrimination is essential in everyday life, yet the neural mechanisms
underlying this process remain unclear. In this study, we trained rats to perform a two …

In auditory-guided tasks, sound presentations often occupy a small fraction of the total task
time. We studied here neuronal dynamics that spanned trial duration. Many neurons had …

The prioritisation and selective processing of information is imperative to survival. One form
of prioritisation, known as spatial attention, allows an animal to selectively process sensory …

GABAergic interneurons enrich the computational power of neural circuits, with different
subpopulations often proposed to play distinct roles within a network. In the mammalian …

In any given instant, our senses are bombarded by a surplus of information. Transforming
this information into adaptive behaviour is imperative to the survival of all animals. The …
