The brains of higher mammals are extraordinary integrative devices. Signals from large
numbers of functionally specialized groups of neurons distributed over many brain regions …

This year, the field of neuroscience celebrates the 50th anniversary of Mountcastle's
discovery of the cortical column. In this review, we summarize half a century of research and …

This modern and self-contained book offers a clear and accessible introduction to the
important topic of machine learning with neural networks. In addition to describing the …

The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is part of the brain's circuit for dynamic representation of
self-location. The metric of this representation is provided by grid cells, cells with spatial …

In order to deal with a complex environment, animals form a diverse range of neural
representations that vary across cortical areas, ranging from largely unimodal sensory input …

Neurons in the cerebral cortex are organized into anatomical columns, with ensembles of
cells arranged from the surface to the white matter. Within a column, neurons often share …

The majority of neurons in primary visual cortex are tuned for stimulus orientation, but the
factors that account for the range of orientation selectivities exhibited by cortical neurons …

Patterns of synaptic connections in the visual system are remarkably precise. These
connections dictate the receptive field properties of individual visual neurons and ultimately …

Functional (f) MRI has revolutionized the field of human brain research. fMRI can
noninvasively map the spatial architecture of brain function via localized increases in blood …

▪ Abstract The basic laminar organization of excitatory local circuitry in the primary visual
cortex of the macaque monkey is similar to that described previously in the cat's visual …
