Cognition results from interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed
brain regions; however, neuroscience has so far largely focused on characterizing the …

The theta rhythm is one of the largest and most sinusoidal activity patterns in the brain. Here
I survey progress in the field of theta rhythms research. I present arguments supporting the …

Classic studies of spatial attention assumed that its neural and behavioral effects were
continuous over time. Recent behavioral studies have instead revealed that spatial attention …

Sensory processing is often regarded as a passive process in which biological receptors like
photoreceptors and mechanoreceptors transduce physical energy into a neural code …

The tactile somatosensory pathway from whisker to cortex in rodents provides a well-defined
system for exploring the link between molecular mechanisms, synaptic circuits, and …

Studies of neuronal activity throughout the brain predominantly rely on extracellular
recordings of spiking activity. These records often contain action potentials from more than …

Whisking and sniffing are predominant aspects of exploratory behaviour in rodents. Yet the
neural mechanisms that generate and coordinate these and other orofacial motor patterns …

In the visual system of primates, different neuronal pathways are specialized for processing
information about the spatial coordinates of objects and their identity—that …

Spontaneous fluctuations in hemodynamic signals in the absence of a task or overt
stimulation are used to infer neural activity. We tested this coupling by simultaneously …

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of supragranular
subthreshold cortical activity with millisecond temporal resolution and subcolumnar spatial …
