Significant experimental, computational, and theoretical work has identified rich structure
within the coordinated activity of interconnected neural populations. An emerging challenge …

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 …

Hippocampal neurons encode physical variables,,,,,–such as space or auditory frequency in
cognitive maps. In addition, functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in humans have …

Technology that translates neural activity into speech would be transformative for people
who are unable to communicate as a result of neurological impairments. Decoding speech …

Advances in experimental neuroscience have transformed our ability to explore the structure
and function of neural circuits. At the same time, advances in machine learning have …

The ongoing exponential rise in recording capacity calls for new approaches for analysing
and interpreting neural data. Effective dimensionality has emerged as an important property …

Animals readily execute learned behaviors in a consistent manner over long periods of time,
and yet no equally stable neural correlate has been demonstrated. How does the cortex …

Neural circuits construct distributed representations of key variables—external stimuli or
internal constructs of quantities relevant for survival, such as an estimate of one's location in …

Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to
their body and environment. These behaviours are shaped at the species level by selection …

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 …
