Highlights•Brains can be viewed as a composition of anatomically distinct modules called
regions.•Brain regions interact in complex ways to form a 'network of networks'.•Untangling …

Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to
their body and environment. These behaviours are shaped at the species level by selection …

Many people suffer from movement disability due to amputation or neurological diseases.
Fortunately, with modern neurotechnology now it is possible to intercept motor control …

Long-term learning of language, mathematics, and motor skills likely requires cortical
plasticity, but behavior often requires much faster changes, sometimes even after single …

Modelling the spatiotemporal dynamics in the activity of neural populations while also
enabling their flexible inference is hindered by the complexity and noisiness of neural …

Though the temporal precision of neural computation has been studied intensively, a data-
driven determination of this precision remains a fundamental challenge. Reproducible spike …

Statistical laws of information avalanches in social media appear, at least according to
existing empirical studies, not robust across systems. As a consequence, radically different …

Behavior arises from the coordinated activity of numerous anatomically and functionally
distinct brain regions. Modern experimental tools allow unprecedented access to large …

Artificial neural networks have recently achieved many successes in solving sequential
processing and planning tasks. Their success is often ascribed to the emergence of the …

Neural dynamics can reflect intrinsic dynamics or dynamic inputs, such as sensory inputs or
inputs from other brain regions. To avoid misinterpreting temporally structured inputs as …
