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 …

How the brain encodes information in population activity, and how it combines and
manipulates that activity as it carries out computations, are questions that lie at the heart of …

Integrating neurons into digital systems may enable performance infeasible with silicon
alone. Here, we develop DishBrain, a system that harnesses the inherent adaptive …

To a large extent, progress in neuroscience has been driven by the study of single-cell
responses averaged over several repetitions of stimuli or behaviours. However, the brain …

Odor signals are conveyed from the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex (OC) by mitral cells
(MCs) and tufted cells (TCs). However, whether and how the two types of projection neuron …

The tactile somatosensory pathway from whisker to cortex in rodents provides a well-defined
system for exploring the link between molecular mechanisms, synaptic circuits, and …

Sensory, motor and cortical neurons fire impulses or spikes at a regular, but slowly
declining, rate in response to a constant current stimulus. Yet, the intervals between spikes …

It is generally assumed that primary sensory neurons transmit information by their firing
rates. However, during natural object manipulations, tactile information from the fingertips is …

The temporal features of tactile stimuli are faithfully represented by the activity of neurons in
the somatosensory cortex. However, the cellular mechanisms that enable cortical neurons to …

Guiding behavior requires the brain to make predictions about the future values of sensory
inputs. Here, we show that efficient predictive computation starts at the earliest stages of the …
