Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

Neuronal systems have a high propensity to engage in oscillatory activity because both the
properties of individual neurons and canonical circuit motifs favour rhythmic activity. In …

The integration of direct bottom-up inputs with contextual information is a core feature of
neocortical circuits. In area V1, neurons may reduce their firing rates when their receptive …

Synchronization of neuronal discharges on the millisecond scale has long been recognized
as a prevalent and functionally important attribute of neural activity. In this article, I review …

Parallel multisite recordings in the visual cortex of trained monkeys revealed that the
responses of spatially distributed neurons to natural scenes are ordered in sequences. The …

We employed multi-electrode array recording to evaluate the influence of NMDA receptors
(NMDAR) on spike-timing dynamics in prefrontal networks of monkeys as they performed a …

The function of spike synchrony is debatable: some researchers view it as a mechanism for
binding perceptual features, others–as a byproduct of brain activity. We argue for an …

The refinement of machine learning strategies and deep convolutional networks led to the
development of artificial systems whose functions resemble those of natural brains …

The Mind and Brain are usually considered as one and the same nonlinear, complex
dynamical system, in which information processing can be described with vector and tensor …

The brain constantly processes information encoded in temporal sequences of spiking
activity. This sequential activity emerges from sensory inputs as well as from the brain's own …
