Artificial neural networks (ANNs) inspired by biology are beginning to be widely used to
model behavioural and neural data, an approach we call 'neuroconnectionism'. ANNs have …

In this review, we consider the potential functional role of beta-band oscillations, which at
present is not yet well understood. We discuss evidence from recent studies on top-down …

We propose a spiking neural network model that encodes information in the relative timing
of individual neuron spikes and performs classification using the first output neuron to spike …

Miller (1956) summarized evidence that people can remember about seven chunks in short-
term memory (STM) tasks. However, that number was meant more as a rough estimate and …

Classical theories of sensory processing view the brain as a passive, stimulus-driven device.
By contrast, more recent approaches emphasize the constructive nature of perception …

In brains of higher vertebrates, the functional segregation of local areas that differ in their
anatomy and physiology contrasts sharply with their global integration during perception …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

Hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus spatial view neurons in primates respond to the
spatial location being looked at. The representation is allocentric, in that the responses are …

Recent findings indicate that the hippocampus supports not only long-term memory
encoding but also plays a role in working memory (WM) maintenance of multiple items; …

Cortical neurons exhibit tremendous variability in the number and temporal distribution of
spikes in their discharge patterns. Furthermore, this variability appears to be conserved over …
