Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …

Egocentric neural coding has been observed in parietal cortex (PC), but its topographical
and laminar organization is not well characterized. We used multi-site recording to look for …

Understanding how the brain learns may lead to machines with human-like intellectual
capacities. It was previously proposed that the brain may operate on the principle of …

In this review article we focus on research methodologies for detecting the actual activity of
cell assemblies, which are populations of functionally connected neurons that encode …

Communication in neural circuits across the cortex is thought to be mediated by
spontaneous temporally organized patterns of population activity lasting~ 50–200 ms …

Objective. Long-term electrophysiological recordings of neural activity in freely behaving
animals are indispensable to advance the understanding of complex brain function. It is a …

Simultaneous recording of optical and electrophysiological signals from multiple cortical
areas may provide crucial information to expand our understanding of cortical function …

In this update article, we focus on “memory engrams”, which are traces of long-term memory
in the brain, and emphasizes that they are not static but dynamic. We first introduce the …

Neuronal spike patterns are the fundamental units of neural communication in the brain,
which is still not fully understood. Entropy measures offer a quantitative framework to assess …

Исследование механизмов сознания и его соотношения с физическим миром–
важнейшая проблема философии, психологии и наук о мозге. Несмотря на то, что …
