A basic feature of intelligent systems such as the cerebral cortex is the ability to freely
associate aspects of perceived experience with an internal representation of the world and …

Syrian hamsters show complex social play behavior and provide a valuable animal model
for delineating the neurobiological mechanisms and functions of social play. In this review …

A critical challenge in neuromorphic computing is to present computationally efficient
algorithms of learning. When implementing gradient-based learning, error information must …

Deep learning has led to significant advances in artificial intelligence, in part, by adopting
strategies motivated by neurophysiology. However, it is unclear whether deep learning …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system comprised of billions of cells with trillions of
connections. The interactions between the elements of the system oppose this seemingly …

Neural dendrites play a critical role in various cognitive functions, including spatial
navigation, sensory processing, adaptive learning, and perception. The spatial layout, signal …

Our current understanding of thalamocortical (TC) circuits is largely based on studies
investigating so‐called 'specific'thalamic nuclei, which receive and transmit sensory …

Input to apical dendritic tufts is now deemed crucial for associative learning, attention, and
similar “feedback” interactions in the cerebral cortex. Excitatory input to apical tufts in …

This review article addresses the function of the layers of the cerebral cortex. We develop
the perspective that cortical layering needs to be understood in terms of its functional …

Background After chemotherapy, many cancer survivors suffer from long-lasting cognitive
impairment, colloquially known as “chemobrain.” However, the trajectories of cognitive …
