Cortical gain regulation allows neurons to respond adaptively to changing inputs. Neural
gain is modulated by internal and external influences, including attentional and arousal …

A substantial portion of our sensory experience happens during active behaviors such as
walking around or paying attention. How do sensory systems work during such behaviors …

A major role of vision is to guide navigation, and navigation is strongly driven by vision,,–.
Indeed, the brain's visual and navigational systems are known to interact,, and signals …

Visually guided perceptual decisions involve the sequential activation of a hierarchy of
cortical areas. It has been hypothesized that a brief time window of activity in each area is …

The potential for neuronal representations of external stimuli to be modified by previous
experience is critical for efficient sensory processing and improved behavioral outcomes. To …

Cortical circuits can flexibly change with experience and learning, but the effects on specific
cell types, including distinct inhibitory types, are not well understood. Here we investigated …

Goal-directed behaviors involve coordinated activity in many cortical areas, but whether the
encoding of task variables is distributed across areas or is more specifically represented in …

Highlights•Arousal and locomotion modulate neuronal activity in primary visual
cortex.•Neurons in primary visual cortex respond to visuomotor mismatch.•Experience …

Although challenging, adults can learn non-native phonetic contrasts with extensive training
[1, 2], indicative of perceptual learning beyond an early sensitivity period [3, 4]. Training can …

Decades of experimental and theoretical work support a now well-established theory that
active dendritic processing contributes to the computational power of individual neurons …
