The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …

A key question in systems neuroscience is to identify how sensory stimuli are represented in
neuronal activity, and how the activity of sensory neurons in turn is “read out” by downstream …

Many models of cognition and of neural computations posit the use and estimation of prior
stimulus statistics,,,: it has long been known that working memory and perception are …

Individuals with autism and individuals with dyslexia both show reduced use of previous
sensory information (stimuli statistics) in perceptual tasks, even though these are very …

Decision-making strategies evolve during training and can continue to vary even in well-
trained animals. However, studies of sensory decision-making tend to characterize behavior …

The location of short-term memory in mammalian neocortex remains elusive. Here we show
that distinct neocortical areas maintain short-term memory depending on behavioral …

To assess the role of dorsolateral striatum (DLS) in time coding, we recorded neuronal
activity in rats tasked with comparing the durations of two sequential vibrations. Bayesian …

Decision making frequently depends on monitoring the duration of sensory events. To
determine whether, and how, the perception of elapsed time derives from the neuronal …

Invariant visual object recognition is the ability to recognize visual objects despite the vastly
different images that each object can project onto the retina during natural vision, depending …

An animal's behavioral state is reflected in the dynamics of cortical population activity and its
capacity to process sensory information. To better understand the relationship between …
