The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

A commonly observed neural correlate of working memory is firing that persists after the
triggering stimulus disappears. Substantial effort has been devoted to understanding the …

The brain's remarkable properties arise from the collective activity of millions of neurons.
Widespread application of dimensionality reduction to multi-neuron recordings implies that …

Retaining information in working memory is a demanding process that relies on cognitive
control to protect memoranda-specific persistent activity from interference,. However, how …

Adaptation is a common principle that recurs throughout the nervous system at all stages of
processing. This principle manifests in a variety of phenomena, from spike frequency …

Diseases of the brain involve early axon dysfunction that often precedes outright
degeneration. Pruning of dendrites and their synapses represents a potential driver of …

Visual motion on the retina activates a cohort of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). This
population activity encodes multiple streams of information extracted by parallel retinal …

The neural representation of information suffers from" noise"—the trial-to-trial variability in
the response of neurons. The impact of correlated noise upon population coding has been …

Understanding the neural code requires understanding how populations of neurons code
information. Theoretical models predict that information may be limited by correlated noise in …

Natural vision is dynamic: as an animal moves, its visual input changes dramatically. How
can the visual system reliably extract local features from an input dominated by self …
