The delayed and prolonged postmitotic maturation of human neurons, compared with
neurons from other species, may contribute to human-specific cognitive abilities and …

Mammalian cortical networks are active before synaptogenesis begins in earnest, before
neuronal migration is complete, and well before an animal opens its eyes and begins to …

Multimodal astrocyte–neuron communications govern brain circuitry assembly and function.
For example, through rapid glutamate release, astrocytes can control excitability, plasticity …

Predictive processing postulates the existence of prediction error neurons in cortex. Neurons
with both negative and positive prediction error response properties have been identified in …

The cerebral cortex is composed of neuronal types with diverse gene expression that are
organized into specialized cortical areas. These areas, each with characteristic …

The mammalian cerebral cortex contains an extraordinary diversity of cell types that emerge
by implementing different developmental programs. Delineating when and how cellular …

Astrocytes are ubiquitous within the central nervous system (CNS). These cells possess
many individual processes which extend out into the neuropil, where they interact with a …

To survive, animals must convert sensory information into appropriate behaviours,. Vision is
a common sense for locating ethologically relevant stimuli and guiding motor responses …

Mammalian cortex features a vast diversity of neuronal cell types, each with characteristic
anatomical, molecular and functional properties. Synaptic connectivity powerfully shapes …

Complex neocortical functions rely on networks of diverse excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
While local connectivity rules between major neuronal subclasses have been established …
