Recent progress in fluorescence imaging allows neuroscientists to observe the dynamics of
thousands of individual neurons, identified genetically or by their connectivity, across …

Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely
between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. Recent results in humans and …

Decreases in alpha synchronization are correlated with enhanced attention, whereas alpha
increases are correlated with inattention. However, correlation is not causality, and …

Optogenetics has revolutionized neuroscience in small laboratory animals, but its effect on
animal models more closely related to humans, such as non-human primates (NHPs), has …

Optogenetics is among the most widely employed techniques to manipulate neuronal
activity. However, a major drawback is the need for invasive implantation of optical fibers. To …

Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

Instantaneous brain states have consequences for our sensation, perception, and
behaviour. Fluctuations in arousal and neural desynchronization likely pose perceptually …

Monkeys are a premier model organism for neuroscience research. Activity in the central
nervous systems of monkeys can be recorded and manipulated while they perform complex …

Gamma band synchronization can facilitate local and long-range neural communication. In
the primary visual cortex, visual stimulus properties within a specific location determine local …

Internal brain states strongly modulate sensory processing during behaviour. Studies of
visual processing in primates show that attention to space selectively improves behavioural …
