The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

The sensory, associative and limbic neocortical structures play a critical role in shaping
incoming noxious inputs to generate variable pain perceptions. Technological advances in …

Spontaneous synchronous activity is a hallmark of developing brain circuits and promotes
their formation. Ex vivo, synchronous activity was shown to be orchestrated by a sparse …

Diverse inhibitory neurons in the mammalian brain shape circuit connectivity and dynamics
through mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Inhibitory plasticity can establish …

The hippocampal formation is critically involved in learning and memory and contains a
large proportion of neurons encoding aspects of the organism's spatial surroundings. In the …

Repetitive activation of subpopulations of neurons leads to the formation of neuronal
assemblies, which can guide learning and behavior. Recent technological advances have …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) enables a staggering variety of complex behaviors, such as
planning actions, solving problems, and adapting to new situations according to external …

As one of the first model systems in biology, the basal metazoan Hydra has been revealing
fundamental features of living systems since it was first discovered by Antonie van …

General anesthetics cause a profound loss of behavioral responsiveness in all animals. In
mammals, general anesthesia is induced in part by the potentiation of endogenous sleep …
