The mouse brain is the most extensively studied brain of all species. We performed an
exhaustive review of the literature to establish our current state of knowledge on cell …

Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD s) are a heterogeneous group of
neurodevelopmental disorders that are diagnosed solely on the basis of behaviour. A large …

Many theories of brain function propose that activity in sparse subsets of neurons underlies
perception and action. To place a lower bound on the amount of neural activity that can be …

Optical methods capable of manipulating neural activity with cellular resolution and
millisecond precision in three dimensions will accelerate the pace of neuroscience research …

Summary Cortical layer 1 (L1) interneurons have been proposed as a hub for attentional
modulation of underlying cortex, but the transformations that this circuit implements are not …

Many cortical neurons combine the information ascending and descending the cortical
hierarchy. In the classical view, this information is combined nonlinearly to give rise to a …

The cytoarchitectonic subdivision of the neocortex into six layers is often used to describe
the organization of the cortical circuitry, sensory-evoked signal flow or cortical functions …

Spontaneous slow oscillation-associated slow wave activity represents an internally
generated state which is characterized by alternations of network quiescence and …

A central question in brain evolution is how species-typical behaviors, and the neural
function-structure mappings supporting them, can be acquired and inherited. Advocates of …

Models of cortical dynamics often assume a homogeneous connectivity structure. However,
we show that heterogeneous input connectivity can prevent the dynamic balance between …
