Social behaviors are crucial to all mammals. Although the prelimbic cortex (PL, part of
medial prefrontal cortex) has been implicated in social behavior, it is not clear which …

Craving for cocaine progressively increases in cocaine users during drug-free periods,
contributing to relapse. The projection from the infralimbic cortex to the nucleus accumbens …

The paper considers the problem of out-of-sample risk estimation under the high
dimensional settings where standard techniques such as K-fold cross-validation suffer from …

Neurons in many brain areas exhibit high trial-to-trial variability, with spike counts that are
overdispersed relative to a Poisson distribution. Recent work (Goris, Movshon, & …

Gaussian process (GP) models are flexible nonparametric models widely used in a variety of
tasks. Variational sparse GP (VSGP) scales GP models to large data sets by summarizing …

Hippocampal representations that underlie spatial memory undergo continuous refinement
following formation. Here, to track the spatial tuning of neurons dynamically during offline …

We present practical solutions to applying Gaussian‐process (GP) methods to calculate
spatial statistics for grid cells in large environments. GPs are a data efficient approach to …

Recent technological advances in systems neuroscience have led to a shift away from using
simple tasks, with low-dimensional, well-controlled stimuli, towards trying to understand …

Two-photon optogenetics has transformed our ability to probe the structure and function of
neural circuits. However, achieving precise optogenetic control of neural ensemble activity …

The paper considers the problem of out-of-sample risk estimation under the high
dimensional settings where standard techniques such as $ K $-fold cross validation suffer …
