Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

Network theory provides an intuitively appealing framework for studying relationships
among interconnected brain mechanisms and their relevance to behaviour. As the space of …

For years we have known that cortical neurons collectively have synchronous or oscillatory
patterns of activity, the frequencies and temporal dynamics of which are associated with …

The brain is characterized by heterogeneous patterns of structural connections supporting
unparalleled feats of cognition and a wide range of behaviours. New non-invasive imaging …

Multivariate time series analysis is extensively used in neurophysiology with the aim of
studying the relationship between simultaneously recorded signals. Recently, advances on …

The lack of a formal link between neural network structure and its emergent function has
hampered our understanding of how the brain processes information. We have now come …

Many cortical structures have elevated firing rates during working memory, but it is not
known how the activity is maintained. To investigate whether reverberating activity is …

Responses of sensory neurons differ across repeated measurements. This variability is
usually treated as stochasticity arising within neurons or neural circuits. However, some …

Multiple electrodes are now a standard tool in neuroscience research that make it possible
to study the simultaneous activity of several neurons in a given brain region or across …

Neurons in the prefrontal cortex exhibit diverse behavioural correlates,,,, an observation that
has been attributed to cell-type diversity. To link identified neuron types with network and …
