Physics is a field of science that has traditionally used the scientific method to answer
questions about why natural phenomena occur and to make testable models that explain the …

Neurons often respond to diverse combinations of task-relevant variables. This form of
mixed selectivity plays an important computational role which is related to the dimensionality …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

Intense research interest over the past decade has yielded diverse and often discrepant
theories about the function of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). In particular, a dichotomy has …

Prefrontal persistent activity during the delay of spatial working memory tasks is thought to
maintain spatial location in memory. A'bump attractor'computational model can account for …

Primates display a remarkable ability to adapt to novel situations. Determining what is most
pertinent in these situations is not always possible based only on the current sensory inputs …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been the focus of intense research interest in recent
years. Although separate theories relate ACC function variously to conflict monitoring …

Contextual representations serve to guide many aspects of behavior and influence the way
stimuli or actions are encoded and interpreted. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) …

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

Emerging evidence implicates rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in tasks requiring
adaptation of behavior to changing information from external and internal sources. However …
