To cope with real-world dynamics, an intelligent system needs to incrementally acquire,
update, accumulate, and exploit knowledge throughout its lifetime. This ability, known as …

When animals interact with complex environments, their neural circuits must separate
overlap** patterns of activity that represent sensory and motor information. Pattern …

Over the last 10 years advances in the new field of neuromarketing have yielded a host of
findings which defy common stereotypes about consumer behavior. Reason and emotions …

The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

Olfactory cortex pyramidal cells integrate sensory input from olfactory bulb mitral and tufted
(M/T) cells and project axons back to the bulb. However, the impact of cortical feedback …

Although examples of variation and diversity exist throughout the nervous system, their
importance remains a source of debate. Even neurons of the same molecular type have …

How are sensory representations in the brain influenced by the state of an animal? Here we
use chronic two-photon calcium imaging to explore how wakefulness and experience shape …

In both insect and vertebrate olfactory systems only two synapses separate the sensory
periphery from brain areas required for memory formation and the organisation of behaviour …

Neuronal pattern separation is thought to enable the brain to disambiguate sensory stimuli
with overlap** features, thereby extracting valuable information. In the olfactory system, it …

The brain is noisy. Neurons receive tens of thousands of highly fluctuating inputs and
generate spike trains that appear highly irregular. Much of this activity is spontaneous …
