Our knowledge of sensory processing has advanced dramatically in the last few decades,
but this understanding remains far from complete, especially for stimuli with the large …

Highlights•Associative synaptic plasticity can occur in response to neural signals that are far
apart in time.•The timescales of plasticity bridge delays that are relevant to the local …

Predictive motion encoding is an important aspect of visually guided behavior that allows
animals to estimate the trajectory of moving objects. Motion prediction is understood …

Information processing in neural systems can be described and analyzed at multiple
spatiotemporal scales. Generally, information at lower levels is more fine-grained but can be …

Our brains are good at detecting and learning associative structures; according to some
linguistic theories, this capacity even constitutes a prerequisite for the development of syntax …

Although it may appear infeasible and impractical, building artificial intelligence (AI) using a
bottom-up approach based on the understanding of neuroscience is straightforward. The …

Responding to stimuli requires that organisms encode information about the external world.
Not all parts of the input are important for behavior, and resource limitations demand that …

The visual system must make predictions to compensate for inherent delays in its
processing. Yet little is known, mechanistically, about how prediction aids natural behaviors …

Among the most striking features of retinal organization is the grouping of its output neurons,
the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), into a diversity of functional types. Each of these types …

Behavior involves the ongoing interaction between an organism and its environment. One of
the prevailing theories of adaptive behavior is that organisms are constantly making …
