A unifying perspective on neural manifolds and circuits for cognition
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** of functionally characterized cell classes onto canonical circuit operations in primate prefrontal cortex
Microcircuits are composed of multiple cell classes that likely serve unique circuit
operations. But how cell classes map onto circuit functions is largely unknown, particularly …

The controllosphere: The neural origin of cognitive effort.
CB Holroyd - Psychological Review, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Why do some mental activities feel harder than others? The answer to this question is
surprisingly controversial. Current theories propose that cognitive effort affords a …

Tonic exploration governs both flexibility and lapses
In many cognitive tasks, lapses (spontaneous errors) are tacitly dismissed as the result of
nuisance processes like sensorimotor noise, fatigue, or disengagement. However, some …

Stochastic dynamics underlying cognitive stability and flexibility
Cognitive stability and flexibility are core functions in the successful pursuit of behavioral
goals. While there is evidence for a common frontoparietal network underlying both …
