The cortex represents information across widely varying timescales,,,,. For instance, sensory
cortex encodes stimuli that fluctuate over few tens of milliseconds,, whereas in association …

Cortical activity involves large populations of neurons, even when it is limited to functionally
coherent areas. Electrophysiological recordings, on the other hand, involve comparatively …

Over the last two decades, a vast literature has described the influence of neuromodulatory
systems on the responses of sensory cortex neurons (review in Gu,; Edeline,; Weinberger,; …

Neuroscience seeks to understand how neural circuits lead to behavior. However, the gap
between circuits and behavior is too wide. An intermediate level is one of neural …

Motherhood is associated with different forms of physiological alterations including transient
hormonal changes and brain plasticity. The underlying impact of these changes on the …

Although the functional properties of individual neurons in primary visual cortex have been
studied intensely, little is known about how neuronal groups could encode changing visual …

Intrinsic cortical dynamics modulates the processing of sensory information and therefore
may be critical for conscious perception [1–3]. We tested this hypothesis by …

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by
researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the …

A characterization of the oscillatory activity in the cerebral cortex of the mouse was realized
under ketamine anesthesia. Bilateral recordings were obtained from deep layers of primary …

Auditory neurons that exhibit stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) decrease their response to
common tones while retaining responsiveness to rare ones. We recorded single-unit …
