Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

Predictive coding theories of sensory brain function interpret the hierarchical construction of
the cerebral cortex as a Bayesian, generative model capable of predicting the sensory data …

To understand the brain we must relate neurons' functional responses to the circuit
architecture that shapes them. Here, we present a large functional connectomics dataset …

Background Studies reporting altered susceptibility to visual illusions in autistic individuals
compared to that typically develo** individuals have been taken to reflect differences in …

Brain function involves the activity of neuronal populations. Much recent effort has been
devoted to measuring the activity of neuronal populations in different parts of the brain under …

Neuronal connectivity is fundamental to information processing in the brain. Therefore,
understanding the mechanisms of sensory processing requires uncovering how connection …

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 …

Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

Cortical neurons exhibit tremendous variability in the number and temporal distribution of
spikes in their discharge patterns. Furthermore, this variability appears to be conserved over …

▪ Abstract We explore the extent to which neocortical circuits generalize, ie, to what extent
can neocortical neurons and the circuits they form be considered as canonical? We find that …
