This perspective describes predictive processing as a computational framework for
understanding cortical function in the context of emerging evidence, with a focus on sensory …

Top-down feedback in cortex is critical for guiding sensory processing, which has
prominently been formalized in the theory of hierarchical predictive coding (hPC). However …

Glutamate and dopamine systems play distinct roles in terms of neuronal signalling, yet both
have been proposed to contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. In …

INTRODUCTION Perceptual experiences in mammals may arise from patterns of neural
circuit activity in cerebral cortex. For example, primary visual cortex (V1) is causally capable …

Economics and mental health are intertwined. Apart from the accumulating evidence of the
huge economic impacts of mental ill‐health, and the growing recognition of the effects that …

Cognitive control, the ability to orchestrate behavior in accord with our goals, depends on
the prefrontal cortex. These cognitive functions are heavily influenced by the …

In the mammalian cerebral cortex neurons are arranged in specific layers and form
connections both within the cortex and with other brain regions, thus forming a complex …

Similarities in neocortical circuit organization across areas and species suggest a common
strategy to process diverse types of information, including sensation from diverse modalities …

With advances in connectomics, transcriptome and neurophysiological technologies, the
neuroscience of brain-wide neural circuits is poised to take off. A major challenge is to …

INTRODUCTION For more than a century, the avian forebrain has been a riddle for
neuroscientists. Birds demonstrate exceptional cognitive abilities comparable to those of …
