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 …

We are continuously bombarded by external inputs of various timescales from the
environment. How does the brain process this multitude of timescales? Recent resting state …

The anatomy of the mammalian visual system, from the retina to the neocortex, is organized
hierarchically. However, direct observation of cellular-level functional interactions across this …

When experts are immersed in a task, do their brains prioritize task-related activity? Most
efforts to understand neural activity during well-learned tasks focus on cognitive …

Recurrently connected networks of spiking neurons underlie the astounding information
processing capabilities of the brain. Yet in spite of extensive research, how they can learn …

There is increased appreciation that dopamine neurons in the midbrain respond not only to
reward and reward-predicting cues,, but also to other variables such as the distance to …

Two-photon microscopy has enabled high-resolution imaging of neuroactivity at depth within
scattering brain tissue. However, its various realizations have not overcome the tradeoffs …

INTRODUCTION Motivational drives are internal states that can explain why animals
adaptively display distinct behaviors in response to the same external stimulus …

We process and integrate multiple timescales into one meaningful whole. Recent evidence
suggests that the brain displays a complex multiscale temporal organization. Different …

Persistent activity generated in the PFC during the delay period of working memory tasks
represents information about stimuli held in memory and determines working memory …
