The selection and execution of context-appropriate behaviors is controlled by the integrated
action of neural circuits throughout the brain. However, how activity is coordinated across …

ABSTRACT I believe consciousness is a property of advanced nervous systems, and as
such a product of evolution. Thus, to understand consciousness we need to describe the …

Convolutional neural networks have achieved impressive results in areas such as computer
vision tasks. Recently, more complex architectures have been designed that add additional …

Key features of biological activity can often be captured by transitions between a finite
number of semi-stable states that correspond to behaviors or decisions. We present here a …

Background Sensory systems evolved intricate designs to accurately encode perplexing
environments. However, this encoding task may become particularly challenging for animals …

Genetically encoded optical indicators and actuators of neural activity allow for all-optical
investigations of signaling in the nervous system. But commonly used indicators, actuators …

The ability to record every spike from every neuron in a behaving animal is one of the holy
grails of neuroscience. Here, we report coming one step closer towards this goal with the …

Behavioral persistency reflects internal brain states, which are the foundations of multiple
brain functions. However, experimental paradigms enabling genetic analyses of behavioral …

In this work, we argue that the search for Artificial General Intelligence should start from a
much lower level than human-level intelligence. The circumstances of intelligent behavior in …

Despite the growing epidemiological evidence of an association between toxin exposure
and developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), systematic testing of DNT is not mandatory in …
