In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

Two different perspectives have informed efforts to explain the link between the brain and
behaviour. One approach seeks to identify neural circuit elements that carry out specific …

Map** behavioural actions to neural activity is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. As our
ability to record large neural and behavioural data increases, there is growing interest in …

Significant experimental, computational, and theoretical work has identified rich structure
within the coordinated activity of interconnected neural populations. An emerging challenge …

Perceptual constancy requires the brain to maintain a stable representation of sensory input.
In the olfactory system, activity in primary olfactory cortex (piriform cortex) is thought to …

A neuronal population encodes information most efficiently when its stimulus responses are
high-dimensional and uncorrelated, and most robustly when they are lower-dimensional …

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are essential tools in machine learning that have drawn
increasing attention in neuroscience. Besides offering powerful techniques for data analysis …

Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to
their body and environment. These behaviours are shaped at the species level by selection …

Animals readily execute learned behaviors in a consistent manner over long periods of time,
and yet no equally stable neural correlate has been demonstrated. How does the cortex …

A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …
