All pathways targeting the thalamus terminate directly onto the thalamic projection cells. As
these cells lack local excitatory interconnections, their computations are fundamentally …

Distinct brain and behavioural states are associated with organized neural population
dynamics that are thought to serve specific cognitive functions,–. Memory replay events, for …

Many real-world systems undergo abrupt changes in dynamics as they move across critical
points, often with dramatic and irreversible consequences. Much existing theory on …

Cortical representations of brief, static stimuli become more invariant to identity-preserving
transformations along the ventral stream. Likewise, increased invariance along the visual …

Animals adapt to a constantly changing world by predicting their environment and the
consequences of their actions. The predictive coding hypothesis proposes that the brain …

Neurotransmission is critically dependent on the number, position, and composition of
receptor proteins on the postsynaptic neuron. Of these, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4 …

The claustrum (CLA) is a conspicuous subcortical structure interconnected with cortical and
subcortical regions. Its regional anatomy and cell-type-specific connections in the mouse …

The deep layers of the entorhinal cortex are important for spatial cognition, as well as
memory storage, consolidation and retrieval. A long-standing hypothesis is that deep-layer …

How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories
aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …

The cerebral cortex is composed of neuronal types with diverse gene expression that are
organized into specialized cortical areas. These areas, each with characteristic …
