The firing rates of individual neurons displaying mixed selectivity are modulated by multiple
task variables. When mixed selectivity is nonlinear, it confers an advantage by generating a …

In the past, neuroscience was focused on individual neurons seen as the functional units of
the nervous system, but this approach fell short over time to account for new experimental …

Electrical stimulation of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) has the potential to uncover causal
circuit mechanisms underlying memory function. However, little is known about how MTL …

Cognitive control is engaged by working memory processes and high-demand situations
like antisaccade, where one must suppress a prepotent response. While it is known to be …

The human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has long captured the attention of
neuroscientists because of the diversity of the cognitive functions it supports. Its involvement …

To better understand how prefrontal networks mediate forms of cognitive control disrupted in
schizophrenia, we translated a variant of the AX continuous performance task that measures …

Why do biological and artificial neurons sometimes modularise, each encoding a single
meaningful variable, and sometimes entangle their representation of many variables? In this …

A defining feature of human cognition is our ability to respond flexibly to what we see and
hear, changing how we respond depending on our current goals. In fact, we can rapidly …

When exposed to sensory sequences, do macaque monkeys spontaneously form abstract
internal models that generalize to novel experiences? Here, we show that neuronal …

Visual objects are often defined by multiple features. Therefore, learning novel objects
entails learning feature conjunctions. Visual cortex is organized into distinct anatomical …
