Feedforward amplification in recurrent networks underlies paradoxical neural coding
The activity of single neurons encodes behavioral variables, such as sensory stimuli and
behavioral choice (;), but their influence on behavior is often mysterious. We estimated the …

[PDF][PDF] A stable, long-term cortical signature underlying consistent behavior
For learned actions to be executed reliably, the cortex must integrate sensory information,
establish a motor plan, and generate appropriate motor outputs to muscles. Animals …

Cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus drives behavioral context-specific movement initiation
To initiate goal-directed behavior, animals must transform sensory cues into motor
commands that generate appropriately timed actions. Sensorimotor transformations along …

[HTML][HTML] Corticostriatal flow of action selection bias
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) performs many functions, including decision making and
movement control. It remains unknown which input and output pathways of PPC support …

Using N2pc variability to probe functionality: Linear mixed modelling of trial EEG and behaviour
This paper has two concurrent goals. On one hand, we hope it will serve as a simple primer
in the use of linear mixed modelling (LMM) for inferential statistical analysis of multimodal …

Neural control of discrete and rhythmic movements
Human dexterity exceeds that of modern robots, despite omnipresent noise and vastly
slower neural processing. Several lines of research have accrued evidence that the complex …

Task-specific topographical maps of neural activity in the primate lateral prefrontal cortex
Neurons in the primate lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) flexibly adapt their activity to support
a wide range of cognitive tasks. Whether and how the topography of LPFC neural activity …
