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

Neuronal activity in the brain gives rise to transmembrane currents that can be measured in
the extracellular medium. Although the major contributor of the extracellular signal is the …

Bioelectronic devices must be fast and sensitive to interact with the rapid, low-amplitude
signals generated by neural tissue. They should also be biocompatible and soft, and should …

We rely on sustained attention to protect task performance against fatigue and distraction.
Time-related variations in attention correlate with amplitude changes of specific cortical …

Gamma rhythms are commonly observed in many brain regions during both waking and
sleep states, yet their functions and mechanisms remain a matter of debate. Here we review …

Frequency-specific oscillations and phase-coupling of neuronal populations are essential
mechanisms for the coordination of activity between brain areas during cognitive tasks …

Knowing where we are, where we have been, and where we are going is critical to many
behaviors, including navigation and memory. One potential neuronal mechanism underlying …

The primate visual system achieves remarkable visual object recognition performance even
in brief presentations, and under changes to object exemplar, geometric transformations …

Recent studies suggest that cross-frequency coupling (CFC) might play a functional role in
neuronal computation, communication and learning. In particular, the strength of phase …

Normal brain function requires interactions between spatially separated, and functionally
specialized, macroscopic regions, yet the directionality of these interactions in large-scale …
