One of the major challenges in system neurosciences consists in developing techniques for
estimating the cognitive information content in brain activity. This has an enormous potential …

The homunculus in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is famous for its body part selectivity,
but this dominant feature may eclipse other representational features, eg, information …

Whereas studies of the V1 cortex have focused mainly on neural line orientation preference,
color inputs are also known to have a strong presence among these neurons. Individual …

Due to continuous state variations in neocortical circuits, individual somatosensory cortex
(SI) neurons in vivo display a variety of intracellular responses to the exact same …

Key points Parts of the fields of neuroscience and neurology consider the neocortex to be a
functionally parcelled structure. Viewed through such a conceptual filter, there are multiple …

Whereas, there is data to support that cuneothalamic projections predominantly reach a
topographically confined volume of the rat thalamus, the ventroposterior lateral (VPL) …

The neocortex has a globally encompassing network structure, which for each given input
constrains the possible combinations of neuronal activations across it. Hence, its network …

Change in linguistic prosody generates a mismatch negativity response (MMN), indicating
neural representation of linguistic prosody, while change in affective prosody generates a …

Many studies have suggested that the neocortex operates as a global network of functionally
interconnected neurons, indicating that any sensory input could shift activity distributions …

The brain has a never-ending internal activity, whose spatiotemporal evolution interacts with
external inputs to constrain their impact on brain activity and thereby how we perceive them …
