Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

Two different perspectives have informed efforts to explain the link between the brain and
behaviour. One approach seeks to identify neural circuit elements that carry out specific …

The medial frontal cortex and adjacent orbitofrontal cortex have been the focus of
investigations of decision-making, behavioral flexibility, and social behavior. We review …

Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

Movement, cognition and perception arise from the collective activity of neurons within
cortical circuits and across large-scale systems of the brain. While the causes of single …

Postmortem studies have revealed increased density of excitatory synapses in the brains of
individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with a putative link to aberrant mTOR …

A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …

There is growing interest in diffusion models to represent the cognitive and neural processes
of speeded decision making. Sequential-sampling models like the diffusion model have a …

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled machines to plan in tasks
previously thought to be uniquely human. Meanwhile, the planning algorithms implemented …
