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 …

Computational models in neuroscience usually take the form of systems of differential
equations. The behaviour of such systems is the subject of dynamical systems theory …

Abstract Systems neuroscience approaches with a focus on large-scale brain organization
and network analysis are advancing foundational knowledge of how cognitive control …

It is typically assumed that large networks of neurons exhibit a large repertoire of nonlinear
behaviours. Here we challenge this assumption by leveraging mathematical models derived …

The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

The study of the cortical control of movement experienced a conceptual shift over recent
decades, as the basic currency of understanding shifted from single-neuron tuning towards …

Recent work has revealed that the neural activity patterns correlated with sensation,
cognition, and action often are not stable and instead undergo large scale changes over …

Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

The brain is composed of complex networks of interacting neurons that express
considerable heterogeneity in their physiology and spiking characteristics. How does this …

A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …
