We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) orchestrates higher brain function and becomes disrupted in
many mental health disorders. The rodent medial PFC (mPFC) possesses an enormous …

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and long-term potentiation (LTP)
were discovered within a decade of each other and have been inextricably intertwined ever …

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

How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories
aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …

Over the past 20 years, neuroscience research on reward-based learning has converged on
a canonical model, under which the neurotransmitter dopamine 'stamps in'associations …

Persistent and ram** neural activity in the frontal cortex anticipates specific movements,,,,–
. Preparatory activity is distributed across several brain regions,, but it is unclear which brain …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Hierarchy provides a unifying principle for the macroscale organization of anatomical and
functional properties across primate cortex, yet microscale bases of specialization across …

Persistent neural activity maintains information that connects past and future events. Models
of persistent activity often invoke reverberations within local cortical circuits, but long-range …
