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 …

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

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 …

The brain's remarkable properties arise from the collective activity of millions of neurons.
Widespread application of dimensionality reduction to multi-neuron recordings implies that …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Although the generation of movements is a fundamental function of the nervous system, the
underlying neural principles remain unclear. As flexor and extensor muscle activities …
