In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

BACKGROUND The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons, each of which makes
thousands of synaptic connections. Although individual neurons can themselves be …

Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are
facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …

The rapid and coordinated propagation of neural activity across the brain provides the
foundation for complex behavior and cognition. Technical advances across neuroscience …

Neural recording electrode technologies have contributed considerably to neuroscience by
enabling the extracellular detection of low-frequency local field potential oscillations and …

Optogenetics ushered in a revolution in how neuroscientists interrogate brain function.
Because of technical limitations, the majority of optogenetic studies have used low spatial …

A central goal in systems neuroscience is the parcellation of the cerebral cortex into discrete
neurobiological “atoms”. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) …

A neuronal population encodes information most efficiently when its stimulus responses are
high-dimensional and uncorrelated, and most robustly when they are lower-dimensional …

The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical
advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important …

Postmortem studies have revealed increased density of excitatory synapses in the brains of
individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with a putative link to aberrant mTOR …
