To explain how the brain orchestrates information-processing for cognition, we must
understand information itself. Importantly, information is not a monolithic entity. Information …

Emergence is a profound subject that straddles many scientific disciplines, including the
formation of galaxies and how consciousness arises from the collective activity of neurons …

The precise mechanisms that lead to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease are unknown.
Here we identify amyloid-plaque-associated axonal spheroids as prominent contributors to …

Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation.
This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our …

Individual cells make decisions that are adapted to their internal state and surroundings, but
how cells can reliably do this remains unclear. To study the information processing capacity …

During periods of disengagement from the environment, transient population bursts, known
as sharp wave ripples (SPW-Rs), occur sporadically. While numerous experiments have …

Objective: Assessing brain connectivity from electrophysiological signals is of great
relevance in neuroscience, but results are still debated and depend crucially on how …

Although the ventromedial hypothalamus ventrolateral area (VMHvl) is now well established
as a critical locus for the generation of conspecific aggression, its role is complex, with …

Fear conditioning is a form of associative learning that is known to involve different brain
areas, notably the amygdala, the prefrontal cortex and the periaqueductal grey (PAG). Here …

Cortical circuits are thought to contain a large number of cell types that coordinate to
produce behavior. Current in vivo methods rely on clustering of specified features of …
