The role of the parahippocampal cortex in cognition

EM Aminoff, K Kveraga, M Bar - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2013 - cell.com
The parahippocampal cortex (PHC) has been associated with many cognitive processes,
including visuospatial processing and episodic memory. To characterize the role of PHC in …

Top-down predictions in the cognitive brain

K Kveraga, AS Ghuman, M Bar - Brain and cognition, 2007 - Elsevier

Contribution of feedforward, lateral and feedback connections to the classical receptive field center and extra-classical receptive field surround of primate V1 neurons

A Angelucci, PC Bressloff - Progress in brain research, 2006 - Elsevier
A central question in visual neuroscience is what circuits generate the responses of neurons

Information processing in the primate retina: circuitry and coding

GD Field, EJ Chichilnisky - Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 2007 - annualreviews.org
