Recent research has illuminated the complexity and importance of the thalamocortical
system but it has been difficult to identify what computational functions it performs …

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 …

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 …

In cortical sensory processing, internal activity substantially impact the cortical response to
any given input. But controlling for that internal activity is difficult since the thalamocortical …

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 …

Complexity is important for flexibility of natural behavior and for the remarkably efficient
learning of the brain. Here we assessed the signal complexity among neuron populations in …

Due to continuous state variations in neocortical circuits, individual SI neurons in vivo
display a variety of intracellular response types to repeated presentations of the exact same …

To understand how sensory events are represented in and perceived by the brain, one must
understand how varying internal brain states affect neuronal decoding of sensory input …
