Silences, spikes and bursts: Three‐part knot of the neural code
Z Friedenberger, E Harkin, K Tóth… - The Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
When a neuron breaks silence, it can emit action potentials in a number of patterns. Some
responses are so sudden and intense that electrophysiologists felt the need to single them …

Logarithmically scaled, gamma distributed neuronal spiking
D Levenstein, M Okun - The Journal of Physiology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Naturally log‐scaled quantities abound in the nervous system. Distributions of these
quantities have non‐intuitive properties, which have implications for data analysis and the …

Precise movement-based predictions in the mouse auditory cortex
Many of the sensations experienced by an organism are caused by their own actions, and
accurately anticipating both the sensory features and timing of self-generated stimuli is …

Ventromedial prefrontal neurons represent self-states shaped by vicarious fear in male mice
Perception of fear induced by others in danger elicits complex vicarious fear responses and
behavioral outputs. In rodents, observing a conspecific receive aversive stimuli leads to …

[PDF][PDF] Sequential transmission of task-relevant information in cortical neuronal networks
Cortical processing of task-relevant information enables recognition of behaviorally
meaningful sensory events. It is unclear how task-related information is represented within …

[PDF][PDF] Mouse frontal cortex mediates additive multisensory decisions
The brain can combine auditory and visual information to localize objects. However, the
cortical substrates underlying audiovisual integration remain uncertain. Here, we show that …

Ventrolateral periaqueductal gray neurons prioritize threat probability over fear output
KM Wright, MA McDannald - elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Faced with potential harm, individuals must estimate the probability of threat and initiate an
appropriate fear response. In the prevailing view, threat probability estimates are relayed to …

Learning enhances encoding of time and temporal surprise in mouse primary sensory cortex
RJ Rabinovich, DD Kato, RM Bruno - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Primary sensory cortex has long been believed to play a straightforward role in the initial
processing of sensory information. Yet, the superficial layers of cortex overall are sparsely …
