Understanding how the human brain gives rise to complex cognitive processes remains one
of the biggest challenges of contemporary neuroscience. While invasive recording in animal …

For many years, neuroscientists have investigated the behavioural, computational and
neurobiological mechanisms that support value-based decisions, revealing how humans …

A central assumption of neuroscience is that long-term memories are represented by the
same brain areas that encode sensory stimuli. Neurons in inferotemporal (IT) cortex …

One of the most fundamental functions of the brain is to predict upcoming events on the
basis of the recent past. A closely related function is to signal when a prediction has been …

The main objective of this structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was to
investigate, using diffusion tensor imaging, whether a neurofeedback training (NFT) protocol …

Cortical circuits can flexibly change with experience and learning, but the effects on specific
cell types, including distinct inhibitory types, are not well understood. Here we investigated …

Stimulus repetition in identification tasks leads to improved behavioral performance
(“repetition priming”) but attenuated neural responses (“repetition suppression”) throughout …

Primates can learn to recognize a virtually limitless number of visual objects. A candidate
neural substrate for this adult plasticity is the inferior temporal cortex (ITC). Using a large …

Many organisms rely on a capacity to rapidly replicate, disperse, and evolve when faced
with uncertainty and novelty. But mammals do not evolve and replicate quickly. They rely on …

Visual categorization is an essential perceptual and cognitive process for assigning
behavioral significance to incoming stimuli. Categorization depends on sensory processing …
