Deep learning and predictive coding architectures commonly assume that inference in
neural networks is hierarchical. However, largely neglected in deep learning and predictive …

The brain plans and executes volitional movements. The underlying patterns of neural
population activity have been explored in the context of movements of the eyes, limbs …

The neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown
how the two structures organize into functional networks to mediate specific behaviors. Here …

Neurons in frontal cortex exhibit diverse selectivity representing sensory, motor and
cognitive variables during decision-making. The neural circuit basis for this complex …

Perceptual decisions rely on learned associations between sensory evidence and
appropriate actions, involving the filtering and integration of relevant inputs to prepare and …

Internal states drive survival behaviors, but their neural implementation is poorly understood.
Recently, we identified a line attractor in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) that …

While motor cortical circuits contain information related to specific movement parameters,
long-range inputs also have a critical role in action execution,. Thalamic projections can …

Behavior relies on activity in structured neural circuits that are distributed across the brain,
but most experiments probe neurons in a single area at a time. Using multiple Neuropixels …

Action selection occurs through competition between potential choice options. Neural
correlates of choice competition are observed across frontal cortex and downstream …

The study of the cortical control of movement experienced a conceptual shift over recent
decades, as the basic currency of understanding shifted from single-neuron tuning towards …
