The thalamus is a small, bilateral structure in the diencephalon that integrates signals from
many areas of the CNS. This critical anatomical position allows the thalamus to influence …

The property of mixed selectivity has been discussed at a computational level and offers a
strategy to maximize computational power by adding versatility to the functional role of each …

Brains contain networks of interconnected neurons and so knowing the network architecture
is essential for understanding brain function. We therefore mapped the synaptic-resolution …

Social memory consists of two processes: the detection of familiar compared with novel
conspecifics and the detailed recollection of past social episodes. We investigated the …

The human brain undergoes a prolonged period of cortical development that spans multiple
decades. During childhood and adolescence, cortical development progresses from lower …

Modern computation based on von Neumann architecture is now a mature cutting-edge
science. In the von Neumann architecture, processing and memory units are implemented …

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 …

Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

To explain how the brain orchestrates information-processing for cognition, we must
understand information itself. Importantly, information is not a monolithic entity. Information …

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 …
