Optogenetics ushered in a revolution in how neuroscientists interrogate brain function.
Because of technical limitations, the majority of optogenetic studies have used low spatial …

Tremendous progress has been made since Neuron published our Primer on genetic
dissection of neural circuits 10 years ago. Since then, cell-type-specific anatomical …

INTRODUCTION Perceptual experiences in mammals may arise from patterns of neural
circuit activity in cerebral cortex. For example, primary visual cortex (V1) is causally capable …

Neurons in cortical circuits are often coactivated as ensembles, yet it is unclear whether
ensembles play a functional role in behavior. Some ensemble neurons have pattern …

The mechanistic link between neural circuit activity and behavior remains unclear. While
manipulating cortical activity can bias certain behaviors and elicit artificial percepts, some …

Electrophysiological methods are the gold standard in neuroscience because they reveal
the activity of individual neurons at high temporal resolution and in arbitrary brain locations …

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 …

In Neurocognitive Mechanisms Gualtiero Piccinini presents the most systematic, rigorous,
and comprehensive philosophical defence to date of the computational theory of cognition …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has garnered interest recently as a powerful
model for the future of neuroscience research. Much of this excitement has centered on the …
