The thalamus is a small, bilateral structure in the diencephalon that integrates signals from
many areas of the CNS. This critical anatomical position allows the thalamus to influence …

Over half a century of research focused on understanding how working memory is capacity
constrained has overshadowed the fact that it is also remarkably resistant to interference …

We propose a novel biologically plausible computational model of working memory (WM)
implemented by a spiking neuron network (SNN) interacting with a network of astrocytes …

The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus are crucial for memory-guided decision-making.
Neural activity in the hippocampus exhibits place-cell sequences at multiple timescales …

What gives rise to the human sense of confidence? Here we tested the Bayesian hypothesis
that confidence is based on a probability distribution represented in neural population …

Persistent activity in populations of neurons, time-varying activity across a neural population,
or activity-silent mechanisms carried out by hidden internal states of the neural population …

When extreme, anxiety—a state of distress and arousal prototypically evoked by uncertain
danger—can be debilitating. Uncertain anticipation is a shared feature of situations that elicit …

Persistently active neurons during mnemonic periods have been regarded as the
mechanism underlying working memory maintenance. Alternatively, neuronal networks …

The hippocampus has a well-established role in spatial and episodic memory but a broader
function has been proposed including aspects of perception and relational processing …

Visual short-term memory (VSTM) enables humans to form a stable and coherent
representation of the external world. However, the nature and temporal dynamics of the …
