Animal behavior is shaped by a variety of" internal states"—partially hidden variables that
profoundly shape perception, cognition, and action. The neural basis of internal states, such …

Pupil size is a widely used metric of brain state. It is one of the few signals originating from
the brain that can be readily monitored with low-cost devices in basic science, clinical, and …

To produce consistent sensory perception, neurons must maintain stable representations of
sensory input. However, neurons in many regions exhibit progressive drift across days …

To increase computational flexibility, the processing of sensory inputs changes with
behavioural context. In the visual system, active behavioural states characterized by motor …

The brain exhibits distinct patterns of recurrent activity closely related to behavioral state.
The neural mechanisms that underlie state-dependent activity in the awake animal are …

Time courses of neural responses underlie real-time sensory processing and perception.
How these temporal dynamics change may be fundamental to how sensory systems adapt …

Many theories of offline memory consolidation posit that the pattern of neurons activated
during a salient sensory experience will be faithfully reactivated, thereby stabilizing the …

Background Classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin and LSD, and other serotonin 2A
receptor (5-HT 2AR) agonists evoke acute alterations in perception and cognition. Altered …

Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types relay parallel streams of visual feature information. We
hypothesized that neuromodulators might efficiently control which visual information streams …

Neurons broadcast electrical signals to distal brain regions through extensive axonal arbors.
Genetically encoded calcium sensors permit the direct observation of action potential activity …
