Our wellness relies on continuous interactions between our brain and body: different organs
relay their current state to the brain and are regulated, in turn, by descending visceromotor …

Cortical neurons emit seemingly erratic trains of action potentials or “spikes,” and neural
network dynamics emerge from the coordinated spiking activity within neural circuits. These …

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER• A “brilliant [and] entrancing”(The Guardian) journey into
the hidden lives of fungi—the great connectors of the living world—and their astonishing and …

Emerging evidence implicates rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in tasks requiring
adaptation of behavior to changing information from external and internal sources. However …

Predictable sensory stimuli do not evoke significant responses in a subset of cortical
excitatory neurons. Some of those neurons, however, change their activity upon mismatches …

The temporal activity of many physical and biological systems, from complex networks to
neural circuits, exhibits fluctuations simultaneously varying over a large range of timescales …

Episodic memory requires linking events in time, a function dependent on the hippocampus.
In" trace" fear conditioning, animals learn to associate a neutral cue with an aversive …

In the brain, patterns of neural activity represent sensory information and store it in non‐
random synaptic connectivity. A prominent theoretical hypothesis states that assemblies …

Hierarchical processing requires activity propagating between higher-and lower-order
cortical areas. However, functional neuroimaging studies have chiefly quantified fluctuations …

The timing of self-initiated actions shows large variability even when they are executed in
stable, well-learned sequences. Could this mix of reliability and stochasticity arise within the …
