A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

Brain function involves the activity of neuronal populations. Much recent effort has been
devoted to measuring the activity of neuronal populations in different parts of the brain under …

Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual
events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of …

Neurons in mouse primary visual cortex (V1) are selective for particular properties of visual
stimuli. Locomotion causes a change in cortical state that leaves their selectivity unchanged …

The interplay between excitation and inhibition determines the fidelity of cortical
representations. The receptive fields of excitatory neurons are often finely tuned to encoded …

Spontaneous neural activity fluctuations have been shown to influence trial-by-trial variation
in perceptual, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. However, the complex …

Adaptive behavior requires integrating prior with current information to anticipate upcoming
events. Brain structures related to this computation should bring relevant signals from the …

Neurons in the CA1 area of the mouse hippocampus encode the position of the animal in an
environment. However, given the variability in individual neurons responses, the accuracy of …

Sub-additivity and variability are ubiquitous response motifs in the primary visual cortex (V1).
Response sub-additivity enables the construction of useful interpretations of the visual …

Cortical activity changes continuously during the course of the day. At a global scale,
population activity varies between the 'synchronized'state during sleep and …
