Humans and many other animals have an enormous capacity to learn about sensory stimuli
and to master new skills. However, many of the mechanisms that enable us to learn remain …

Deciphering the mechanisms of human memory is a central goal of neuroscience, both from
the point of view of the fundamental biology of memory and for its translational relevance …

Neuronal activity in early visual cortex depends on attention shifts but the contribution to
working memory has remained unclear. Here, we examine neuronal activity in the different …

The segregation of figures from the background is an important step in visual perception. In
primary visual cortex, figures evoke stronger activity than backgrounds during a delayed …

Neocortical gamma activity has long been hypothesized as a mechanism for synchronizing
brain regions to support visual perception and cognition more broadly. Although early …

Neuronal activity in the primary visual cortex (V1) is driven by feedforward input from within
the neurons' receptive fields (RFs) and modulated by contextual information in regions …

The visual word form area (VWFA) is a region of human inferotemporal cortex that emerges
at a fixed location in the occipitotemporal cortex during reading acquisition and …

High resolution laminar fMRI is beginning to probe responses in the different layers of
cortex. What can we expect this exciting new technique to discover about cortical processing …

Combining sensory inputs over space and time is fundamental to vision. Population
receptive field models have been successful in characterizing spatial encoding throughout …

Gamma frequency activity (30–150 Hz) is induced in cognitive tasks and is thought to reflect
underlying neural processes. Gamma frequency activity can be recorded directly from the …
