Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

Neural activity in cortex is correlated, an observation that has traditionally been attributed to
neurons receiving input from a shared and limited presynaptic pool. Recent studies have …

The spiking activity of cortical neurons is correlated. For instance, trial-to-trial fluctuations in
response strength are shared between neurons, and spikes often occur synchronously …

Neuronal responses are correlated on a range of timescales. Correlations can affect
population coding and may play an important role in cortical function. Correlations are …

Simultaneous recordings from large neural populations are becoming increasingly common.
An important feature of population activity is the trial-to-trial correlated fluctuation of spike …

The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

The spiking activity of nearby cortical neurons is correlated on both short and long time
scales. Understanding this shared variability in firing patterns is critical for appreciating the …

Ambitious projects aim to record the activity of ever larger and denser neuronal populations
in vivo. Correlations in neural activity measured in such recordings can reveal important …

The mechanisms underlying neuronal coding and, in particular, the role of temporal spike
coordination are hotly debated. However, this debate is often confounded by an implicit …

Understanding the neural code requires understanding how populations of neurons code
information. Theoretical models predict that information may be limited by correlated noise in …
