Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Historically, the thalamus has been viewed as little more than a relay, simply transferring
information to key players of the cast, the cortex and hippocampus, without providing any …

Sound elicits rapid movements of muscles in the face, ears, and eyes that protect the body
from injury and trigger brain-wide internal state changes. Here, we performed quantitative …

To make adaptive decisions, organisms must appropriately filter sensory inputs, augmenting
relevant signals and suppressing noise. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) partly implements this …

Flexibly selecting appropriate actions in response to complex, ever-changing environments
requires both cortical and subcortical regions, which are typically described as participating …

The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is a hub for body sensation of both innocuous and
noxious signals, yet its role in somatosensation versus pain is debated. Despite known …

Summary Layer 6b (L6b), the deepest neocortical layer, projects to cortical targets and
higher-order thalamus and is the only layer responsive to the wake-promoting neuropeptide …

Abstract Layer 5 (L5) cortical projection neurons innervate far-ranging brain areas to
coordinate integrative sensory processing and adaptive behaviors. Here, we characterize a …

Integration of information across the senses is critical for perception and is a common
property of neurons in the cerebral cortex, where it is thought to arise primarily from …
