Present day neuroscience places the brain at the centre of study. But what if researchers
viewed the brain not as the foundation of life, rather as a mediating organ? Ecology of the …

Autism is a severe neurobehavioral syndrome, arising largely as an inherited disorder,
which can arise from several diseases. Despite recent advances in identifying some genes …

Neuronal circuits in the brain are shaped by experience during'critical periods' in early
postnatal life. In the primary visual cortex, this activity-dependent development is triggered …

Experience exerts a profound influence on the brain and, therefore, on behavior. When the
effect of experience on the brain is particularly strong during a limited period in …

Spike timing–dependent plasticity (STDP) as a Hebbian synaptic learning rule has been
demonstrated in various neural circuits over a wide spectrum of species, from insects to …

▪ Abstract Human speech and birdsong have numerous parallels. Both humans and
songbirds learn their complex vocalizations early in life, exhibiting a strong dependence on …

Uncertainty in various forms plagues our interactions with the environment. In a Bayesian
statistical framework, optimal inference and prediction, based on unreliable observations in …
