Natural language is often seen as the single factor that explains the cognitive singularity of
the human species. Instead, we propose that humans possess multiple internal languages …

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can modulate human neural activity and
behavior. Accordingly, tACS has vast potential for cognitive research and brain disorder …

The brain of modern humans has evolved remarkable computational abilities that enable
higher cognitive functions. These capacities are tightly linked to an increase in the size and …

Human cognitive abilities are generally thought to arise from cortical expansion over the
course of human brain evolution. In addition to increased neuron numbers, this cortical …

Half a century since their discovery by Llinás and colleagues, dendritic spikes have been
observed in various neurons in different brain regions, from the neocortex and cerebellum to …

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

Evolutionary changes in human brain structure and function have enabled our specialized
cognitive abilities. How these changes have come about genetically and functionally has …

Neocortical layer 1 (L1) is a site of convergence between pyramidal-neuron dendrites and
feedback axons where local inhibitory signaling can profoundly shape cortical processing …

Neuronal ensembles, defined as groups of neurons displaying recurring patterns of
coordinated activity, represent an intermediate functional level between individual neurons …

Neurons receive synaptic input primarily onto their dendrites. While we know much about
the electrical properties of dendrites in rodents, we have only just started to describe their …
