Sensory areas are spontaneously active in the absence of sensory stimuli. This
spontaneous activity has long been studied; however, its functional role remains largely …

Hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus spatial view neurons in primates respond to the
spatial location being looked at. The representation is allocentric, in that the responses are …

A hallmark of electrophysiological brain activity is its 1/f-like spectrum–power decreases with
increasing frequency. The steepness of this 'roll-off'is approximated by the spectral …

Prior studies have demonstrated that correlated variability changes with cognitive processes
that improve perceptual performance. We tested whether correlated variability covaries with …

Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual
events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of …

Correlated variability in cortical activity is ubiquitously quenched following stimulus onset, in
a stimulus-dependent manner. These modulations have been attributed to circuit dynamics …

Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

Trial-to-trial variability is a reflection of the circuitry and cellular physiology that make up a
neuronal network. A pervasive yet puzzling feature of cortical circuits is that despite their …

Perception and action are tightly coupled: visual responses at the saccade target are
enhanced right before saccade onset. This phenomenon, presaccadic attention, is a form of …

Selectivity of cortical neurons for sensory stimuli can increase across days as animals learn
their behavioral relevance and across seconds when animals switch attention. While both …
