Motor and premotor cortices are crucial for the control of movements. However, we still know
little about how these areas contribute to higher-order motor control, such as deciding which …

When a neuron breaks silence, it can emit action potentials in a number of patterns. Some
responses are so sudden and intense that electrophysiologists felt the need to single them …

Perception of fear induced by others in danger elicits complex vicarious fear responses and
behavioral outputs. In rodents, observing a conspecific receive aversive stimuli leads to …

Many of the sensations experienced by an organism are caused by their own actions, and
accurately anticipating both the sensory features and timing of self-generated stimuli is …

Neuronal responses during behavior are diverse, ranging from highly reliable
'classical'responses to irregular 'non-classically responsive'firing. While a continuum of …

Primary sensory cortex has long been believed to play a straightforward role in the initial
processing of sensory information. Yet, the superficial layers of cortex overall are sparsely …

Cortical processing of task-relevant information enables recognition of behaviorally
meaningful sensory events. It is unclear how task-related information is represented within …

Faced with potential harm, individuals must estimate the probability of threat and initiate an
appropriate fear response. In the prevailing view, threat probability estimates are relayed to …

The brain can combine auditory and visual information to localize objects. However, the
cortical substrates underlying audiovisual integration remain uncertain. Here, we show that …

Two commonly used approaches to study interactions among neurons are spike count
correlation, which describes pairs of neurons, and dimensionality reduction, applied to a …
