Transcranial (electro) magnetic stimulation (TMS) is currently the method of choice to non-
invasively induce neural activity in the human brain. A single transcranial stimulus induces a …

Recent breakthroughs in neurobiology indicate that the time is ripe to understand how
cellular-level mechanisms are related to conscious experience. Here, we highlight the …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

We present a first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of
juvenile rat. The reconstruction uses cellular and synaptic organizing principles to …

The active electrical properties of dendrites shape neuronal input and output and are
fundamental to brain function. However, our knowledge of active dendrites has been almost …

Mesocotical dopamine (DA) inputs to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) play a crtical role in normal
cognitive process and neuropsychiatic pathologies. This DA input regulates aspects of …

One of the central questions in neuroscience is how particular tasks, or computations, are
implemented by neural networks to generate behavior. The prevailing view has been that …

The biophysical properties of neurons are the foundation for computation in the brain.
Neuronal size is a key determinant of single neuron input–output features and varies …

A basic feature of intelligent systems such as the cerebral cortex is the ability to freely
associate aspects of perceived experience with an internal representation of the world and …

Understanding how individual neurons integrate the thousands of synaptic inputs they
receive is critical to understanding how the brain works. Modeling studies in silico and …
