Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …

The precise timing of action potentials of sensory neurons relative to the time of stimulus
presentation carries substantial sensory information that is lost or degraded when these …

The formation of new memories requires new information to be encoded in the face of
proactive interference from the past. Two solutions have been proposed for hippocampal …

Oscillatory activity in sensory cortices reflects changes in local excitation–inhibition balance,
and recent work suggests that phase signatures of ongoing oscillations predict the …

While sensory neurons carry behaviorally relevant information in responses that often
extend over hundreds of milliseconds, the key units of neural information likely consist of …

In recent years, our research in computational neuroscience has focused on understanding
how populations of neurons encode naturalistic stimuli. In particular, we focused on how …

Spatio-temporal cortical activity patterns relative to both peripheral input and local network
activity carry information about stimulus identity and context. GABAergic interneurons are …

Rate and phase codes are believed to be important in neural information processing.
Hippocampal place cells provide a good example where both coding schemes coexist …

Accurate spike timing of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons relative to the on-going theta-
frequency network oscillations is important in hippocampal spatial information and memory …

Spatio-temporal cortical activity patterns relative to both peripheral input and local network
activity carry information about stimulus identity and context. GABAergic interneurons are …
